Mitehell tle | ticutarly s a story | O J DeMOLL DEMO THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, of a traveling circus troupe, with a tale of gypsy mysticlsm in the back- ground. A real thrill is being prepared in the lion-taming act, where George Chappall will rescue a real, live debu- tante from the Jaws of the beasts. It has been declared in advance notices that “at least 40 lions will take part in the scene.” When one comes to figure out the number of social lions in New York at the present time this annonncement does not seem to be exaggerated. Then, cgain, there will be the cannon act by Mile. Pifi, the Mald of Mystery from Moscow, who delights in flirting with death while being whisked {nto space from the mouth of a cannon. This time It is to be a huge siege mortar, with Prof. Henry B. Culver, ex-officer of artil- lery, as gunner. The horseback features will form a separate brilliant chapter of their own, with dainty girls from many countries as riders. Donn Barber, who has gained a nation-wide repu- tation by his arrangement of alluring productions, is in charge of this part of the program. There will be a clrcus parade and pageant as a cli- max before the opening of the ball. Those who take part in the dance will be arrayed in brilliant costumes marked by originallty. The gypsy ballet, which those who have seen the rehearsals declare to be the last word in grace and witch- ery, Is composed of a group of debu- tantes, including Miss Betty Stoddard, Miss Mimi Brokaw, Miss Michelle and Maude Bouvier, Miss Eleanor , Miss Janet Kirby, Mi Pease, Miss Henriette Erhart, Miss Phyllis Thompson and Miss Constance MecCann Four February Frolics. Excellency of production will mark the four February Frolics to take place each Friday evening of next month in the ballroom of the Hotel Pl They will be given for the enefit of the Riis settlement. Well known debutantes are to take part in these cabarets. With so many soclety girls volun- teering to appear in the casts of the various entertainments offered for charity, real talent is gaining greater recognition every day. This is espe- cially true of the Frolics and only members of the younger set Who are willlng to devote unstinted time and effort at rehearsals will be allowed to appear. The presentation, it is pre- dicted, will form a production that should win professional praise. In- cluded in the list of debutantes to be seen are Miss Virginia McClennan, farion Burke, Miss Mary Raw- Miss Helene Edmonds, Miss Janet Kirby and Miss Imogene Reeve.
