10 min. F.S. This little girl has justified everything that has been said about her. She is especially valuable from an advertising standpoint as her work lends itself to publicity and her youth prepossesses everybody in her favor. The tank which was used for the first time is entirely free and clear above the floor of the stage, with a suitable setting, and every one of Miss Pitonof’s movements in the water can be plainly seen through the heavy plate glass windows. Every one of her feats got a good hand and at the finish she was called to respond to strong applause. As a headline feature she has been found entirely satisfactory and will be much talked about even by people who are not particularly interested in swimming. The newspapers are particularly kind to her and help us to make her popular.
