Lili, Donna Clifton—Pierrot. Cherie Smith Pink Tights” A three-act musical dance comedy entitled “Pink Tights” was presented by the Dance Clubs of the Girls Physical Education Department in the 1962 Spring Dance Frolic. The production was directed by Miss Amy Lee Harris and Miss Eleanor Francis. Donna Clifton and Cherie Smith ably portrayed the leads of Lili, a little French orphan, and Pierrot, a sad clown, respectively. “Pink Tights” told the story of Lili, who had been separated from her parents by a tragic circus fire. Obsessed by the memory of her beautiful mother as a daring bareback rider in bright pink circus lights. Lili ran away from an orphanage to visit a frayed, second-rate touring carnival setting up in a small French town. She quickly made friends with the carnival people, especially Peppi and Carrot Top, the happy clowns. Lili was especially drawn to Pierrot, the sad clown, even before she discovered the secret of his sadness. He had lost his wife and daughter as the result of a circus fire. As Lili related the incidents of that horrible night, he realized they were both victims of the same tragedy and that he had found his little girl. “The Grand Imperial Merry-go-rounders and carnival kids
