Jug 1988 Isadora Chicago Post July 28 ( London . ) Miss Allan's success has now led to the appearance at the Duke of York of Miss Isadora Duncan , ironically enough the priginator of this method of the dance . Both young women are natives of SF . It is recalled by Miss Allan that her brother was the eminent homicide of that city , and by Miss Duncan that her father ewe w " wealthy banker / " Miss Duncan conceded to eschew the Salome near - horror , confining hersel to dances characteristic of Greek drama . This evening she danced to music from Gluck , accompanied by a score of little girls dressed like her without fleshings of any kind . These little folk were irresistably fresh , graceful , and charming . Indeed , it was as a teacher rather than as a dwnd 45 that Miss Duncan shone last evening , since the beauty of her movement and posture was definitely marred by a somewhat max mature dignity of figure and a fixed smile almost as meaningless as a grin . In her dancing there was the precision bom of much research and study the accurate , passionless reproduction of the best remembered grouping s on Greek vases . Miss Duncan will appear in America next year not as musical adjunct of Mr. Frohman's piecesbut as an evening's entettsinment by herself . Thus she will be the first artists to devote an entire performa cento dancing unrelieved by In the U.S. next year , Miss Duncan will be the first artist to devote an entire program of dancing unrelieved by song or recitatiom , a serious feat of endurance . Bhe will 9 9 dance in the US Dance of the High Priestess , Dance of the Sylphs Baccahanalian Dance , and Blue Danube with no children to helo .
