Jug 1908 Re Manchester Reporting on the Manchester Watch Committee's activities , Percy Hammopnd , , , special sorrespondence for the Chicago Evening Post and reporting dateline from London of July 28 1908 , went on to comment : Vakce Caprice Decented Another view of Miss Allan is expressed by one of the leading critics of London on a placard outside the theaTRE , Wix which states that in her dancing are summed up " all the noblest arts , the music of the masters , the triumph of Greek sculpture and of Botticelli s brush . " Both the constable and the critis seem extreme . The impropirety of the lady's dancing seems as indefinite as its artistic significance . Last evening she dances to the music of Rubinstrein's " valse Caprice " and presented the spectacle of a pretty woman with little on , but that little important , running to and fro , her movements studied , regular and anything but capricious , in harmony with but not at all in the mood of the music . Her ams were marvels of undulation . They ripppled from shoulder to finger tips like beautiful white snakes , and her slim legs moved in perfect but concenvional rrhythm . It was all very pretty but as the dramatic interpetation it purported to be , it seemed incomplete In The Vision of Salome the same inadequACY was noticeable . There was a grim stage setting , lit by flaming torches , around this Miss SAllan glided prettily , her lovely face giving no indication of the wicked exultation and Salone decorbed and desrie of Salome as she caressed the head of St. John the Baptist , showing instead a fear of discovery and a tenderness utterly foreign to the appalling , tragic degeneracy of the character .
