o net Then the Spring Song ; here again hor passion for stage props destroys her ; she does for the Duncan what Beerbohm Tree does for Shakespeare : and I should like to pelt her with that bunch of vegetables she hangs at her girdle . Even of the ripple I got tired . She rippled her hands high in the air , she rippled them straight out from the shoulder , she rippled them at her knees , she rippled them just above the floor , she does a regular dumb bell exercise in ripples . Also she runs about too much without exactis knowing why Tet there is hope Tor Miss Allan . She has grace and lightness , and she keeps time , keeps time better , perhaps , than the Duncan . If she will be patient and teachable , and control her ripples , and put away the vanity of stage props , and print a programme pvery three years , and go and watch and listen to the Ducan a little more , and try to understand the signi ficance of the new mode of dancing Isadora Duncan has 10 happily created and Maud Allan is so cleverly pexploiting , she will some day be a fine dancer . In hat shallow's flight , in that merr lury and sudden death which snaps off Rubinstein , I spy salvation . But she must try to grow up . At present she is an innocent girl who is unaware when she surpasses the limit or decency ; only as a woman will she understand . And as a woman she will have to choose . Will she be provocative and swirl ? or will she give a chance the other nine hundred and ninety - nine starred emo tions ? If she will be adored by me , she will not swirl . The future of dancing is with the angels And then she has no temperament , and what is a provocative dancer without temperargent ? I prefer not to sav . But I am sure that when she has grown up she will not like to be that kind of provocative dancer - what ever be the advice of her impresario
