SOCIETY CIRCUS
One act Farce “Rubber Boots” Presented by
Meredith Actors; Annabel Bridger
Sings Two Selections
Meredith College was well represented in
the Wake Forest Society Circus that was
staged in the Wake Forest gymnasium last
Friday night. The Circus was on the same
order as the Raleigh-Wake Society Circus held
in the Auditorium several weelcs ago.
The opening event was a song by Annabel
Bridger of Meredith. Her selection was ‘ ‘ Song
ot the Robin.” Following her. several dances
were given by Dr. J. Richard Crozier and
his daughter Dolores, also of Meredith Col-:
lege. The first dance was the dance of the
clowns and was admirably presented by the
couple.
Professor A. F. Bowen entei*tained the audi
ence with twenty minutes of modern thauma-
+1T-jvr w'hir''.- woo ’•'1 ofi'JiTlp-. ff' t.b*', tippr-tftorS
both on account of Professor Bowen’s enter
taining manner and his profieney in the art
of magic. The next number on the program
was an Oriental dance given by Miss Maxine
Cox of Wake Forest. Her costume, well adapt
ed for the occasion, combined with her ability
in the practice of interpretative dancing made
the dance most entertaining.
The Wake Forest gymnasium class then pre
sented several acts of the Roman Ladder
gymnastics which was given in the Raleigh-
Wake Shrine Society Circus.
As final numbers on the program Miss
Annabel Bridger sang “Yesterday and To
day, ’ ’ and a one act farce was given by a num
ber of Meredith girls. The play was “Rubber
Boots” and was presented by Misses Lidie
Penton, Evelyn Bridger, Evelyn Sentelle, Lila
Earl Dowell. The play was among the most
enjoyable features of the program and was
enjoyed by all present.
