Her poses are full of confidence and grace and she makes the transition from | one to another with the smoothness and sureness of an artist. One of the prettiest numbers was Miss Red- mon’s solo dance to the music of Chopin’s “Funeral March.” She was lovely, as Dagmar, the white slave in the final dance drama, “The Slave Market,” and quite satisfactory as the gold-digging Eve, in “The Lost Parad Alexia Bronte, another featured dancer, proved a delightful performer, but of a different type. She s small and wirey, vet graceful. In the Spanish number with Mr. Pemberton | and again.in the whimsical sketch, “On the Lawn e was an effective tiny foll to her tall partner.

GAYETY—“All in Fun.” An unheralded performer stepped out and made a hit of the show at the Gayety Theater last night. It was Matty White, a comedian with an odd get-up, some new songs and a good deal of talent. He will go farther. : The show Is one of Barney Gerard's concoctions of songs, dances and non- €ense, entitled “All in Fun,” and is well named.

Because she must, she will. later,” adds Dean Moon, “lumbermen, the paper manufacturers, the wood users and the general public are going to be ready to put the matter up to the foresters with authority to go ahead, and then what will they do? More fre quently than they care to admit, foresters are face to face with the lack of accurate knowledge. Far too often are they compelled to hazard guesses to offer suggestions and recommenda: tions based largely on hope and expec- tation. In order to know, to substitute facts for guesswork, and to enable forcsters to speak ~ with _authority, there 18 an absolute need for practicai experimental work. “Establishment of the Charles La- throp Pack Demonstration Fore the very heart of the Adirondacks, offering an opportunity for generation after Zeneration of for 3 Sooner or practice, constitutes one of the most hopeful elgns in the forestry fleld at the present time, and {s indeed a srlendid token of future progress In this important movement.” Loecated on South Shore. Located on south shore, Cranberry lake is the center of a beautiful country. Joseph Bonaparte, ex-King of Naples and Spain, fled to this forest wilderness to escape the fate of his more famous brother. The Charles Lathrop Pack Demon- stration Forest is located on the south shore of Cranberry lake and is com- posed largely of second-growth hard- Wwoods appearing after a fire which swept over this region about fifteen years ago. Among the smaller growth, how- ever, there are islands of original hard. woods—beech, birch and maple, majes- tic in size and of great beauty. The opportunity for studying the life his- tory, the ‘method of regeneration and the growth rate of these species is un- rivaled.
