CRITIQUES , REPORTS ETC RE MAUD ALLAN'S VISIT To St. PETERSBURG , Russia in 1909 . following The foregoing material was most kindly furnished by Per Dalgaard and Inger Lauridsen both Ph.D. candidates , Comparative Literature at the University of Alberta working with Dr. Edward Mozejke and Professor V. Dimic . , Perb , No. 304 November 5 ( 118 ) 1909 On Saturday , November 21 , in the Big Hall of the Conservatorium , the famous English dance Miss Maud Allan will perform . Perb , November 21 ( 1 December ) No. 320 , 1909 : Zamerka ( Notice ) Yesterday Miss Maud Allan's dress rehearsal took place in the big hall of the conservatorium . Miss Allan conducted the orchestra herself . Props and decorations were brought by the artist from London . Perb , No. 322 , November 23 ( 1 December 6 ) , 1909 , P. 3 . Miss Mod [ sic ] Allan . . and then came the small birds : Artemies Koloma , the Wiesenthal sisters , Ada Furzkiewiezc , Ms. Causraja , Stephanie Dombrowska , Atga Desmond , Ms. Maud Allan . Miss Maud Allan is as far from the teacher , the wonderful Isadøra , as she is from a heavenly star . There we find living creatively on a solid foundation of learning , while here we find the pupil's timid imitations of approved problems . There - inspiration , here - a bit of technique . There - living beauty born before our eyes , here - something ' not too bad . ' Miss Maud Allan will never be Duncan's successor , nor the heir to her tradition . This is not a Greek vase painting come alive . This is not even Flackmann . Not even Wedgewood . Not even Thorvaldsen . It is animated frescoes from the Cafe Reuter . Miss Maud Allan danced Chopin's " Marche Funebre " portraying a woman searching for the body of her beloved in the corpse - shrewn battlefield . This was worse than bad . It was " not too bad . " You felt as if you were sitting in the cinema listening to ( watching ) ' King Lear ' on the screen . this means grief , hands apart despair , hands together - either madness or resignation before fate . Hands up She danced " Peer Gynt " ( " Ase's death " , " Amitra's dance " , " dance of the Gnomes " ) , abusing the dramatic , pressing the psychological pedal to the detriment of the plastic . All too theatrically , she used electric effects . was very " not too bad " : almost opera , almost drama . It
