City Council P.-T. A. Reveals Plans For Gala Dance Pageant As Means of Amassing Welfare Funds Everyone in the city is asked to use a bright red pencil and en-circle on home calendars, the date of Thursday, July 15. For on that evening the city's P.-T. A. Council of which Mrs. Leo J. Friis is president, is staging a brilliant dance pageant in the high school auditorium as a means of raising money for the P.-T. A. welfare fund. Aided in their plans by the Richards-Martin School of Dancing, 719 North Los Angeles street, the various committees working on plans for the affair feel that its success is assured. For Mrs. Lenior R. Martin has arranged a delightful revue in which 175 of the city's young people will take part. All are giving of their time and talents, so that every cent of the proceeds will go into the welfare fund. The program will begin at 8 o'clock, and P.-T. A. Council members are devoting much time and trouble to arrangements for programs, ushering, stage decorations and all the endless details that go toward the presentation of so elaborate an entertainment. In the opening events, the audience will be transported back to childhood dreams of fairyland, as Cinderella and her Prince Charming and all the well-loved characters of childhood memories, weave to and fro in measures of the dance. Flowers and fireflies and all the charms of fairyland will be enacted by the youngsters. The second half of the revue will be on a United Nations theme with China, Russia, and others of our Allies, to be represented by characteristic dances, including ballets, adagio and other forms. What promises to be of special interest, will be the Dutch number based on Mrs. Martin's own book, "The Wise Old Mother Goose." This will be essentially local in its significance, for not only did Mrs. Martin write and illustrate the book herself, but the lyrics and musical setting were composed by another gifted Anaheimer, Marie Naomi Sell (Mrs. Milton Sell). It will give the local audience opportunity to see a number that was acclaimed as one of the highlights of the Los Angeles celebration of "I Am An American Day" in mid-May at Midwick Country club. At that time Mrs. Martin presented her group of talented young girls as the American-Netherland's society's contribution to the all-nations program. It created such a sensation that Mrs. Martin, a member of the teaching faculty for the annual convention in Hollywood of Dance Masters of America, has been asked to demonstrate the dance at that approaching session in August.
