52 min. Substituted her interpretation of Mendelsohn’s “Spring Song” for the “Blue Danube.” One of the most beautiful features of the kind ever seen, and right up to Miss Hoffmann’s standard of perfection. The curtain went up on the gorgeous set to a big hand and the interest of the audience was held throughout to a smashing finish. The introduction of the four little children and the graceful Cupid in garlanded costumes brought a round of applause. It would seem as if this act was now as nearly perfect as human ingenuity could make it, and it is certainly true that the crowd came today to see Miss Hoffmann, as everything she did went very strong.
