There was a surprising, amount of humor, thougH the performers never slackened in their graceful movements! Seeing humor in one's own self ilways causes delight from the audience.

Ad rino Otero, awakened the inter ests of me audience on her first appearance. With her expressive castinets and her 'tapping heels, she danced the steps of Spain with all the coquettety and daring ex pected. An Andalusian dance, a Spanish dance to the tunes of Le cuona and a popular 19th century number were Jhcluded. The pianist played all during the performance and : then acted as soloist when he played two groups. .- i V v Space limitations may cut the amount of written appreciation of the performance but it does not limit the amount of delight the reviewer gets from the program.
