Talented Dancer. The principals of the Hughes-John-son-Hunter Dance Studio have every reason to be proud of their very young pupil Ida Matthews, who achieved such success at the Hawera competitions held recently. The Hawera Star states: “After the operatic dance the judge, Miss Daphne Knight, in her remarks said, ‘I do not know who’s pupil she is, or where she comes from, but I congratulate her teacher on the little girl’s wonderful work, so strictly carried out according to technique, combined with a natural grace and charm.’ ” Also in the character number, “Violets” Miss Knight said the work was wonderful, not only wonderful, it was divine and displayed much careful training and great talent. This little girl will undoubtedly have a future in the dancing world as she is working along the right lines.*
