1 ) Ting bukan The times and / 1909 pl THE PALACE THEATRE , Feb13 / 09 As a preliminary to Miss Maud Allan's ' reapper ance , after too long an interval in the evening bill , a special matinée was given yesterday , at which the non Symphony Orchestra , under Mr. Landon Ronald , accompanied the dancer , and played various well - known orchestral pieces , the audience keeping * silence for which they deserve no little credit . There was indeed a little more of the orchestral music than some of the dancer's admirers might have wished , though it sounded excellently in the well - planned thentre ; hut inasmuch as the " Salone " dance was omitted on this occasion , there was nothing to call for anything but praise . It was quite clear that Slims Maud Allan has com pletely recovered from her accident , and that her art is even better than it was befory . A host of ** classical cancers have been sehr smpn in landon since she came here , but Miss Allah has no rival the purely inusical side of her art . translate the music into steps which to the eye are the exact equivalent of the notes which rench the ear . It would be possible to imagine the stage as a vast keyboard from which the notre should be actually called forth by the skilful teet : and for the first time it would be easy for a deaf perron to realize whal the composer ' meant by his unheard strains . It is a joyful experience to see Miss Allan dance phrase that appears first in the major and then in the minor , for she makes the one phrase of her dance repeat the other , yet with the fitting change of aspect that must have been in the musician's mind . This was particularly beautiful in more than one movement of Grieg's first Peer Gynt suite , in which ** Anitra's Dance " was the most charming of the sections . * Ase's Death Study of mournful joses , better thought out than the Chopin funeral march of some months ago ; and in the difficult finale ' of the suite the suggestion of a ghome was given without any unsuitable touch of the protesque . The bacchanal ending of this move . ment , too , was a piece of the most finished art . The Arabian Dance from the Casse Moisette suite of Tchaikovsky consisted principally of the sinuous mitions of the arms in which Miss Allan excels ; the Passepied " from Delibes's Le Roi s'amuse music was a delicious little poem , and even a trumpery thing like Rubinstein's Melody in F " became beautiful in the translation . The same composer's ** Valse Caprice , " the final dance , is generally held to be the artist's greatest performance ; and from , beginning to end one could not but feel that the dancer so ennobles the music she chooses that it must love something in the future whenever it is beard without her . The " Spring Song " of Mendelssohn , another old friend repeated , must always suggest the exquisitely girlish figure and the joy of spring , even to thosr- and there are apparently many- who do not realize how faithfully im Allan refircta in her steps the essence of the composer's thought . MANCHEXTER WATCH COMYITTE AND Miss MAUD ALLAN.Our Manchester Correspondent tolographs that the Manchester Watch Committee are surprised and annoyed by the string of misrepresentations to which their action in reference to the suggested performance in Manchestor by Miss Maud Allan , the dancer , has sab jected them .
