10 Hew erebate и " The Maud Allan Myth " , by W.R.Titterton , appeared 27 in The new Age in June 1908 . After an eyecatching intro followed by duction and an affectionate account of Isadora Duncan's in this lengthy outce career and art , Titterton outlines Maud Allan ' scareer . Mand Tilterton Initially in Germany , according to him , " Maud Allan Stee * into Allan seemed a good imitator ,, that was all , and she wove the true pattern of her aRT I threads of quite alien design , But with there was a hint of the sexually provocative . " the coming of the Salome qayze , Maud Allan " seized her chance bravely . " After a sensational debut in Vienna and a fiasoo in Munich ( " not on the score of idfecency , but of stupidity Tilfe.fons mentions on these 2 alis ) xxkk all Munich laughed at the head " ) she proceeded to London these hoogtes idon , ( Titterton mentions only Viegmaand - Munich ... where he first saw her performance : As a matter of fact , I liked her . One or two of the Duncan's movements have been almost perfectly ac quired ; one or two she has even improved upon . Where she does not overdo it she makes hine use of those beautiful hands of her's -- say , when she stretches her arms wide , and makes the music ripple from her shoul ders to her finger tips and in the Rubenstein thing she has a sideways upward dart in the air that is like a sunbeam , a flight ci swallows , a sudden waterfall But the Funeral March is worse than ever ; it has become a drapery business ( clumsily managed ) , . penny - dreadful bungling of millinery ; then she so com pletely misinterprets the music as to choose the joyous movement for her dismalest poses , and what in the name of comic sense does she look for on the floor ? one thought of the parable of the woman who had lost a thruppny bit ; can it have been that ? The Salome is detestable I cannot imagine any . thing more immoral and less artistic than this passion . less aping of the gestures of lust , this intoxication hammered out coid . TVas that why they stopped her dancing it in Vienna : Vienna never places embargo on the merely nude . As for the head but I think Viss Allan has been sufficiently belaboured with that
