Radiance In a
Radium Dance
Miss Burkheimer And
Mr. Wrenn Delight
Audience At Kir mess
Last Night-Children do
Splendidly,
One of the prettiest little tableaux
presented at tli'e Kirmess last night,
which pvs great- delight to the audi
ence, vrcs'the presentation of Psyche
and On .ids bv Mrs. Frank Jones ana
lit lie Misses Laura Tillett, Mary Kees
ler, Margaret Garrett, Kutledge Dudley
an i Elizabeth Fore.
Psyche stood with all her Greciar
radiance, and hold in tow by ribbons
the six Utile eupid.?. and the little tot;
ve:v greeted v.iih enthusiastic ap
plause
Th5 ether Grecian scenes were good
such as the dance cf the garland girls
and the cymbal and tambourine girls
The Holland scene, which was rep re
ssntcd by a Dutch dance by twelvt
young ladies, dressed with ail the
ciuaintnoss cf the country cf the cana
boats ani wooden shoes thorough!
manifested that the scenes and dance?
were carefully chosen and worked out.
The Scotch scene which was a High
I ana fling dance by Misses Marier
Washburn and Annie Burkheimer, twe
bcautiiul young ;riils, was very pretty
indeed, and the little Scotch Highianc
lassies with their warm-colored plaids
canie ir. for a good share cf applause.
The radium dance, as given by Jlr
Wrenn and Miss Bessie Burkheimer
vas very pretty, and delighted mors
than any other one number presentee
during tbe evening.
In this entrancing number the ra
dium li;;hc fell only upon a section o
the stage, which threw the rcsc cf i
into deep shadow. The actors in this
living picture, thus somberly framed
wciv thrown out into the lime light
The ::: carnation cf lissome grace, Miss
Uurkh.-h :er suddenly flashed upon th
st: s'.iaming tho brilliance of the
; - mi tight by her own radiance.
r's quarrel ensues, after Mr
Wrenn, in Knickerbocker garb, ha?
- :. . upon the stage. In the courss
cf tho affair a posy is dropped upor
the liocr and these two in the role oi
lovers flit about it, pensive, or pouting
or pleased, as the moods change, anc
all finally ends well, as a real geoc"
love-story, whether in book or upon the
stage, should do.
The scenes which gave the youngei
members of the cast, a chance to shine
and earn their portion cf tho praise
were tho Indian danees, the 'motr
danc- ! the sis little wives. These
scenes wore very realistic.
In tbe French scene was a minuet
that stately, graceful and charmingly
inadequate dance, from a moderi
standpoint, of the sixteenth and seven
teenth century, given by twelve youn;
ladies and gentlemen. The costumes
in this, scene, with both dames air"
beaux with powdered hair and dresser"
with ad the antique ouaintness of the
courts rf another eem.ury, gave a pic
ture replete with history of other times
unci customs.
Mis;- Hazel Brown, dressed as a Hex
ican senerila, who sang a pretty anc"
ostein- song, came in for her share oi
the applause.
One of the scenes, which deserve;
special me at ion was that of Egypt
which was led by Mrs. Walter Watt
us Cleopatra. The costumes in thes"
dances- were rich and brilliant as the:,
should have been to portray the scenee
from this ancient luxurious country or
the Xile.
Mrs. Walter took the place of Mrs
James Moore, of Salisbury, who was
unavoidably absent, and while she hat1
not practiced the part, the audience
would not have known but that, from
the magnificent manner in which she
played, that it T.vas an understudy.
Mrs. Watt's dancing was superb, anc
gave great delight to the audience.
Another dance, which greatly pleas
ed, was that of the moths, led by Miss
Bessie Burkheimer, as the moth queen.
This dance was originated by Miss
Anna Hold and is considered one o:
the most artistic dances which has
ever been seen on the stage.
Although seme of the dances and
scenes seemed to be too lang drawn
out, the second presentation of the Kir
mess was greatly enjoyed.
The scenes, the dances and the drills
perfectly portrayed the countries sup
posed to be represented in both dres:
and manner, and these scenes prove."
net only pleasing to the eye, but edu
cational as well.
Mr. James Wrenn, of Salisbury, the
manager who drilled the children, se
skillfully, and the Daughters of the
American Revolution, are to be con
gratulated in presenting a series oi
scenes, which have given so much
pleasure and profit to those who saw
them.

formance were as follows:
