ATMORK (il!KV, DANCER,
DKLKiHTS 111<; AVDlKXCK
The Orpheum theatre was pack
ed at hint night's performance with
a very appreciative audience, many
of whom were tourist* from the
Princess Sophia. There wore sovor
al good motion pictures displayed,
but the main attraction was Ath
more Grey, the Greek classic dancer.
Miss Grey Is a true artist and
her Interpretation of thought thru
the poetry of motion Is refined and
beautiful. Her presentation* were
nearly all of the classic order. She
has uu abundant supply of beauti
ful gowns and rare hand made
laces that heighten tho grace of
movement.
Her first appearance ou the stago
was in two light songs, "Leading
the Regiment", and "Tho French
Maid". She wore ankle frocks for
this; then two modern graceful dan
ces followed. Victor Herbert's "Or
iental Dance" from "Wouderlau^"
was then given and It was followed
by Kubenstoln's "Caprice", and the
"Spring Seng", by Mendelssohn. Two
dances from tho famous "Peer Gynt'
sulto, by Grlcg were given with spir
it. The "Dance of tho Unomes"
was particularly effective. Tho ex
hibition closed with a fine presenta
tion of "Salome*. This dance was
begun with seven sets of veils and
draperies which were discarded as
the dance progressed until the cll
liax was reached with the advent of
(lie head of "John the Baptist". It
was a flue Interpretation of the
iilbllcal story. ? Juneau Umpire.
Miss Grey appears at Klk's Hall
in Skagway tomorrow evening.
