Boy page Irene Castle. Two Albanian belles give an exhibition of native dancing for the War orphans at the American Red Cross playground at Elbasan. As for the dignity and grace, they have something on some of the modern devotees of Terpsichare. Note the satin pantaloon on the lady tambourine player to the right. Her job in the orchestra corresponds to a jazz trap drummer
