The Dance of the Pyramids
The Fire Dance
The Sea Nymph
The act received two good curtains.
After looking at all the others in that line, La Pia stands out head and shoulders above them all. It is not so much that there is a difference, or that this, or that, is more beautiful, but it it is the attention to detail and the blending of everything that make the offering stand out

La Pia herself deserves special mention. She is a dandy looking blonde, who understands dancing and carries it though in a manner to secure the best results.
