INN CASINO 
AST GLOUCESTER.—A set of plans has just been 
completed by H. M. Hanson, the architect, for the 
Misses Elizabeth C. and Grace M. Spaulidng of Brookline, 
who are occupying “Orchard Heights” cottage on Mt. 
Pleasant avenue. The contract calls for an outlay of 
$13,000 on the building. The design is of the old English 
Elizabethan type, artistic and unique. The cottage will 
be built for another season on the property purchased 
some months ago by the Misses Spalding, on Ledge road, 
near the Atwood estate. 
An interesting an instructive lecture on “Spiders” was 
given in the Hawthorne Inn casino, Tuesday of this week, 
by J. H. Emerton of Boston. An exhibition of the com- 
mon New England spiders, with drawings and photo- 
graphs of webs, was held in the afternoon from 3 till 6 
o'clock. A lecture with lantern illustrations was given 
at 8 o’clock and was well attended and appreciated. 
The dramatic recital given by Arthur Row of the 
Sir Herbert Beerholm Tree company and’ Miss Elise 
Dufour, danseuse, of Washington, D. C., at the Haw- 
thorne Inn casino on Monday evening was one of the 
great artistic successes of the season. The cottage and 
hotel colony of Eastern Point were well represented in 
spite of the uncertain weather indications of the evening, 
and the 200 or more gathered in the pleasant casino made 
an exceedignly appreciative audience. Mr. Row in his 
choice of readings was considerate of the “summer mind,” 
that desires nothing deep nor unduly exciting, giving his 
hearers Mrs. Fiske’s version of “Becky Sharp” in the 
famous supper scene, an “impression of Sarah Bernhardt,” 
a quartette of lovely little poems, and an immensely amus- 
ing monologue of a young girl and her first glass of 
champagne. Throughout Mr. Row’s readings one was 
impressed by the utter absence of any straining after 
effect in this young actor’s art—instead, his work was

marked by a natural simplicity. In Mr. Row’s “Becky 
sharp” one experienced a keen delight in detecting the 
low, tense, monotone of voice, so fascinating in, and 
always associated with Mrs. Fiske, while one would have 
recognized the temperamental excitability of the “divine 
Sarah,” even had the program not been at hand. These 
two numbers were decidedly clever. Miss Lotta Crab- 
tree, the beloved comedienne of former days, was in the 
audience and rewarded Mr. Row with unstinted applause. 
Miss Crabtree and Miss Cecelia Beaux, the noted portrait 
painter, who was also in the audience, have great faith 
in the young artist’s ability to make good in his chosen 
work. The poems read by Mr. Row were: “Fulfilment,” 
by Thomas S$. Jones, Jr.; “Hold Fast Your Dreams,” by 
Louise Driscoll; “Dreams,” by Clinton Scollard; “An Old 
English Actor Once I Knew,” by Edith M. Thomas. 
Miss Dufour, with the full command of her body, 
and its utter grace, proportion and delicacy of line, to- 
gether with her fine facial expression, gave her audience, 
in her dances, most lovely pictures of the poetry of motion. 
Her interpretation of the haunting beauty of Chaminade’s 
“Scarf Dance” was as full of dreamy subtlety and airiness 
as the soft, rhythmic movements of a little, wandering 
sumer wind. In Debressy’s “Arabesque,” with the light- 
ness of falling rose petals, as Diana, Miss Dufour’s little 
bare feet fluttered about the sleeping shepherd youth, 
Endymion, as she wove a mystic spell of moonbeams about 
him, backing a-tiptoe and with slanting uplift of arms 
and hands in picture of moonlight filtering into the glade 
where dreamed of her the love-lorn boy. Indeed, one was 
fairly caught in the spell, and it was only with the end 
of the dance that one realized one’s whereabouts. Miss 
Dufour’s other interpretations were: “Knights of the 
Hobby-Horse,” “Strange Lands and Strange People (Im- 
migrant Child),” “Catch Me If You Can,” “Important 
Event,” “Frighting,’ “Contentedness,” all from Schu- 
mann’s “Tales of Childhood.” Miss Dufour, with fine 
perception, interpreted the loneliness of aspiration as 
an encore to ‘““Debussy’s “Arabesque.”’ 
Harriet Brazier, still on the borderland of childhood 
herself, “with its childish faith in fairies, and Aladdin’s 
magic ring,” in her interpretation of Cyril Scott’s “Fairy 
Folk” was a veritable little woodland creature, and had 
she been dancing in the open one would not have been at
