both blackened and loudly dressed in checks & diamonds and loudly applauded. but the two successes of the evening was a skirt dance by a boy named Mackintosh and a soprano solo by Charlie Field.

The first was simply splendid. He is not quite as tall as I and wore a cardinal dress & gloves, with a blonde curling wig and made his face up in such a way that as to make real ballet girls envious. Dancing eyes - small sweet mouth and pink cheeks penciled eyebrows. And a fetching smile and you

and shaking them and swaying it. But to hear this clear soprano coming from a boy's throat was wonderful as well as killing.

When they had a grand ballet - five - Mackintosh Sam McGrew Frankenheimer - Charlie Guild & Bob Cambell.

The last two were in blue & white Sam McGrew in pure white and Frankenheimer & Mackintosh in red - I nearly laughed myself sick to see Frankenheimer as a balletbrown curls - painted smiling face - and short tartain skirts pirouetting etc. He is naturally

a stout looking boy - heavy & thick set. Rarely looks at a girl & good football player. Of course Mackintosh led it. There is a good account in Yesterdays Examiner - but the pictures are charicatures.

I'm so glad Nellie is coming down.
