CHILDREN’ EXHIBITION 
Mrs. DEAN’s CLASSES MAKE SPLEN- 
DID SHOWING AT Town Hay 
DEMONSTRATION. 
There was a large attendance at the 
exhibition in Manchester Town hall 
last evening at the exhibition of the 
work of the gymnastic and dancing 
classes of Mrs. George R. Dean. The 
children’s classes which have been 
trained during past weeks have shown 
remarkable progress and their work 
was a credit to themselves and their. 
teacher. In addition to the class dem- 
onstrations a number of splendid solo 
numbers were given by Mrs. Dean’s 
advanced pupils which would have 
done credit to professionals. 
The first part of the program was 
devoted to medical corrective exer- 
cises, free arm movements (swim- 
ming, sawing wood, etc.), aesthetic 
dancing and singing games. The 
singing games included: “Charley, 
over the water;” “Oats, peas, beans ;” 
“The King of France.” The folk 
dances included the German kinder 
polka, the Swedish clap-dance and 
the Mother Goose series. The second 
part of the program included a for- 
mal opening of the dancing class 
which the little ones carried off with 
aignity and grace. Demonstrations of 
the various new steps: the new one- 
step, the canter waltz, the London 
Taps fox-trot and the new “toddle” 
followed. 
The circus clowns was a pleasing 
number in costume by Misses Kath- 
erine Curtin and Katherine Madden of 
the Salem Y.W.A.class. The “elf” 
dance by Miss Lillian Ah Chung in 
white ballet dress was particularly 
effective. The fairy ballet by Miss 
Geralding Luce and the Grecian waltz 
by Miss Madge Luce were two strik- 
ing solo dances. Grandma and 
Grandpa in 1860 was a costume dance 
by Misses Katherine Curtin and Lillian 
Ah Chung which won applause. The 
dance features of the evening were 
the two numbers, which Miss Alice 
Roberts of Beverly furnished. Miss 
Roberts is a graceful young danseuse 
with a splendid future. Her inter- 
pretive numbers, “The Happy Child” 
and “Autumn” well deserved the ap- 
plause they received. Miss Prudence 
Connolly assisted Mrs. Dean at the 
piano. 
Mothers of the children who took 
part acted as matrons and occupied a 
row of seats in front. The girls were 
attired in conventional gymnasium 
costume, bloomers and white middy 
blouses. Candy was on sale during 
the intermission. General dancing 
followed the program.
