Recognizing the.artistic merit of the performance, as well as the worthiness of the cause which it benefits, the rule forbidding students to attend evening affairs during the first week after the holidays has been suspended in this case. Musical Wash. ington is interested in Miss Enter’s pi gram because of the entirely new fas ion in which she utilizes music in con nection with the dance. The fact that she was originally a student of painting and that this knowledge of art is re- flected in her dancing makes Miss En- ters’ “Compositions in Dance Form” of interest to art students as well. ‘While tickets for the benefit will not be on sale at the theater until January | 3, mail orders are now being filled.
