dances, "The Joy of Living," was

soul. The mystic conception of the
theme was worked out by the three
weavers weaving a pattern of a
"Life." The weavers were directed

After a short intermission the see
ond act opened with a fanciful and
clever interpretation of a Dutch
family, including a Dutch "Mama",
a Duth "Papa", Hans, a rougish pie
stealing boy, and Gretchen, a shy and
demure little maid. All the dances
in this act were of a humorous na
ture land the act ended with a clever
dance by the "Three Blind Mice."
Third Act Is Drama
"One Upon a Time," the dance
drama proper, was given as the third
act The story was adapted from
the old legend of "Sleeping Beauty."
In this play appeared the good and
bad faries, the playmates of the
Princess, the Princess, the Hedge
which grew up to guard her in her
hundred years' sleep, the unsuccess
