THE TIMES DUKE OF YORKS THEATRE . July 7/1908 . In the years that have passed since Miss Indora Dumna delighted London with her artistic dancing , the art of which she is the exponent , and in modem times the pioneer , han attained an unexpected degree of popularity , milits vogemust in a greut mensure be accredited to ber . It was a good idea to induce ber to give bro special perfonnances , with a change of programme each night , as it was not possible for her to pay London a longer visit . Tt night , for the opening of her little series , sho Janced nuuerous ballet pieces from Gluck's Iphigénie en Tuled , which , with the aid of slight additions from othi'r sources and a certain amomt of mpetition , made up * short evening's prokuuno . With the exception of twy numben , ' all the dances were executed by Miss Deincan dilone , so that the contrast between individual and collective dancing , which is of the essence of the classical ballet , was almost entirely sbarat . The corps de bullet consisted of ten of Miss Phincan's Parisian pupils , who did well in Gluck's musie , but better in a wall of Linuer given as an encore at the conclusion of the whole . The little girls danced with evident enjoyment , and it into the hope that they will carry on the good traditions of their tracher . Her dancing is as finely " imagined as it was , and she still presents an embodiment of youthful grace and winning innocence . If it is the Laity of marly summer rather thuri of spring , it may be observed that the artist has gained in command by her pourris . ller Turiety of attitudes is very remarkable , and all are tnily classic in their grace . Hers is the art of pusing as an accompaninirnt to the music , rather than an inesitable mries of movements for the sake of which the music soins to have been composed . Rhythmical as her pwrformance is , it seldom follows with minute Adelity the notes of the music translating Cum into steps ; and in is respect some of the earlier dances were a little dis appointing , Me famous gavotte which first appeard in Elnar Paride might have been more accurately rendered into dance , trust the later portions of the entertainment were much better in this serpy and the interpolated " srtte " from Armida and the Blue Danube " waltz civen as a second oncore mer tus rhythmical as could be . The arrangement of the music wax from a suito arranged by lot , w that Gluck's order was not followed . One the cleverest pieces of iniming ways in a Scythian dana near the end , and the final bacchinale was quito eflectivo . Duncan's various costumes were all in mcellent taste , " notwithstanding the extreme tenuity of some of them . The orchestra iusticient , and was conducted by Vr . Jahn Crook .
