Dainty little fairies flitted hither

fragrant flower, while the entire gal

“March of Time.”
While the kiddies were half wrap

were not alone, for the audience which
occupied every available space in the
theatre responded repeatedly with
salvos of applause as some especially
alluring bit of childish talent gave

The Pageant numbers -were finish

March, an Irish jig, presented a

April, the clown dance, was a riot
