DANCE RECITAL

Pupils of Miss Gertrude Shardlow A delightful entertainment was witnessed at the Town Hall concert chamber last night, when the puipils of Miss Gertrude Shardlow, assisted by Miss Nola Hyde and Mr. D. Roache, gave a dance reeilal. The majority of the porformers were children, and, although some once or twice forgot their parts or suffered from stage-fright, they danced very well. One little girl had some thoublc w.tlt her hat, and as she danced around clutching it she caused much merriment. The hall was full- „„ . In "A Chinese Princess’s Ottering Miss Audrey Allardice proved’herself to be an accomplished toe dancer and, with Master Jackie Browne, presented a tap duo. This last was very good; there was no indecision, and the time was excellent. The spotlight was used very effectively in showing up the different shaded dresses in a ballet entitled “Oh. My Goodness.” and Miss Phyllis Picket, dressed in a smart scarlet riding habit, showed very good interpretation in “Tally Ho.” Her dancing was also attractive. Two skipping solos —one by Miss Margaret Perkinson ami the other by Miss Edna Andrews—were very well done. The lighting wits again used effectively. Miss Nola Hyde gave two very good elocution numbers, aud Mr. D. Roache presented some impersonations, . The following took part:—-Misses J. Mclecek D. Andrews, E. Mills, C, Bins tons, P. Bird, P.
