SMITH SOCIETY EDITOR ANAHEIM 2414 Colorful Costumes Brighten Program Of Dance Revue Eighty-five students of Anaheim, Fullerton and other neighboring cities were presented in a dance revue at the high school auditorium in Fullerton Tuesday evening, by Lenoir Richards Martin of the Richards-Martin School of Dancing. Mrs. Martin was assisted by Anna L. Richards; Mrs. H. H. Heckman and Miss Claire Thomas, pianists; and Mrs. Olive Kempen, organist. The curtain rose on a scene of brilliant Spanish and Mexican costumed dancers, 8 with tambourines and 16 with the Spanish castenets, who cleverly executed the Jota dances. They were followed by a Spanish duet dance, the "Malaguena"; then a Spanish shawl tango and a South American rumba which was one of the outstanding numbers on the program. This section of the program closed with a couple dancing the "Manton" and singing "La Cucaracha" with "El Jarabe," the hat dance, as the encore number. A chorus of six young dancers in very effective gold and black costumes came on the stage doing the "Moonlight and Roses" tap dance. Then the "Rippling Waters" tap. A group of five and six year old kiddies were exceptionally good in a waltz clog. A solo hula dance by one of the advanced students drew much applause, and four young lads were also very clever in a rhythm dance.

Mr. and Mrs. Elvin Grauer sang "I Love You Truly" and Mr. Grauer sang "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Love." The bride, wearing pale yellow silk organza with French pleated skirt, a yellow hat with a face veil and carrying a shower bouquet of yellow and copper colored Talisman buds, lilies of the valley and bouvardia, had as her attendants Mrs. Alma Fox, her sister-in-law as Matron of honor and Mrs. Marguerite Artley and Mrs. Gertrude Scranton, sister of the bride-groom, Mrs. Fox wore a gown of green taffeta and carried a bouquet of roses, white sweet peas and gardenia; Mrs. Artley's gown was rose and her bouquet of pink and white sweetpeas while Mrs. Scranton wore blue, with blue and white bouquet.

The character dancers were equally as colorful and effective and as gracefully executed as the former dancers, the first being a Hungarian dance by one of the more advanced students. For the Russian Sweetheart dance the costume was in red, black, silver and white, with white boots. A clever number. Two little youngsters did the old Dutch clog in the quaint Dutch costumes. Two children, five and six years old, sang an Italian song in the Italian dialect, and carried out well the comedy of the song. Four girls in silver with brilliant colored collars did a soft-shoe number, and another young girl who is unusually talented did a high-kick dance. A chorus of 18 children, 8 and 10 years old, in pink satin and pink and silver polk bonnets were followed by a specialty number, an accordian solo, the "St. Louis Blues." A young girl in white georgette with a full skirt gave an exhibition waltz, another outstanding number. Another chorus of 18 cute little tykes in pink organdie delighted the audience with a buck dance. "Percy and Hardboiled Annie" made a real comedy pair. A soloist in blue crepe-de-chine and satin danced the symbol dance. "I Love Life" was a lovely vocal number by Charles Bush of Anaheim. A cute Irish number was made up of 18 five and six year old tots in pink and green, each carrying a brilliant parasol, who kept perfect time. "A Little Bit Independent," was a song and dance number by a little girl in blue and white satin, with a duet song and dance following. "The Dark Town Strutters' Ball" was the title of this, with a couple dressed in red and yellow satin, the boy wearing a top-hat of red and jewel cloth and the girl a polk bonnet of red with organdie ruffles.

The grand finale, with all of the young artists on the stage at once was really a beautiful spectacle. "Let Yourself Go" was chosen as the ensemble chorus.
