Examples of the reactions of " lay " members of Maud Allan's audiences que below , 111ustrated in the two following commentaries , representing are diametrically different social and cultural backgrounds : 4 les 1 & 13 1 Maude Allan's Dance at Clone Range The first of the Californians to see Maude Allan lance in London Imas just returned home . harley Bebe hrows a great seal more about the dips , spurs and are cuts of a quartz mine in the Sierras than he does about terpsichorean feats , but he has picked up a bit of the atrical knowledge in knocking about cast and west , and this is what he has to say of the California girl who is now the vogue in the London music halls . “ Everybody that sees Miss Illan in the dance comes away with one of two opinions : that it's the limit ' or that it is * artistic . There is no middle opinion . Many go to ste her because they think it is the most improper act ever put upon the stage . Just as many more attend because They regard the performance as the highest expression in motion of the pure and chaste . The performance struck me as indecent but handled in a way to make it appear perfectly inodest . From a certain French point of view such an achievement is high art . She dances barefooted and bare limbed . Her draperies are the thin nest of gauze . In the Salome dance she is nude to the waist , except for some strings of beads and jeweled ornaments . Below the waist -- well , she wears a single gauze skirt , and when it isn't floating in the air its trans parency doesn't interiere in the slightest degree with the eyesight . ller dancing is the personification of ex quisite grace and her naturalness is marvelous . As I have said , it all depends on the viewpoint , and perhaps the character , whether one comes away shocked or en tranced . " from an unidentified San Francisco publication circa Mpril - May 1908
