CHARMING YOUNG DANCERS AT THE QUEEN'S. Cherie Valentine and Tomasita Birdwell have made a hit at the Queen's. These young dancers move with ease through a series of amazing postures, they fly and twirl about the stage as if the temperature were somewhere round zero instead of that of a palm house, and they do it all as if they thoroughly enjoyed it. That is perhaps their great charm; they are young enough to thrill to applause and delight in the agility of their own slender bodies; their smiles are genuine, not the professional simper that may come to them later, and their dancing is singularly free from conscious allurement. They return to the Queen's Theatre next Wednesday in entirely new dances.
