CARPENTIER AS STAGE-DANCER.
“Stage dancing is almost as hard work as boxing, and I wonder how the girls can do> it,” declared Georges Carpentior, when he> finished his first performance as an artist on the Paris musio-ha.ll stage. “I was as nervous as a girl making her first appearance in society. I began to enjoy myself only when my timidity wore away.” Thunderous applause greeted his appearance from one of the most fashionable audiences ever assembled in a Paris music-hall. He wore a well-cut dinner jacket, with a white rose in his button-hole, and «ang a song in a strong and pleasing baritone, “When one does this for the first time.” He then introduced Ail eon Hamilton, his charming American partner, and with her help he gave a clever exhibition of tho Charleston, and tho black bottom river dance.
The audience gave him a tremendous ovation, calling him and his dancing partner back more than a dozen times, and a score of feminine friends and admirers handed him boquets of flowers. He gave an exhibition of boxing in the second half of the revue.
