SOR TER MUN JAMINA sunday 1910 an important factor in its success that it really belongs in the catalogue of dancing novelties . Indeed , its star --Mlle . Margaretta Caroles a Russian dancpr of ome celebrity . The story of the playlet fa that of " the eternal er eagle " -one woman and two men : the wife , the bus band and the lover : In continental Europe this theme , tor stage purposes , has few successful competitors ; it bas even ceased to scandalize American audiences . Mlle . Carolee , in a very happy and excited mood , visita the lover in his rooms . They are as caro - free as children . They pledgo each other in glasses of wine . They become very gay . In the midst of this gayety they are surprised by the entrance of the husband , This means a duel , then and there , in which the hus . / band is filled . The guilty wife goes mad , and wbon limitations aro ob . pug after the passing the first glamour , 16y express bac tanal emotion , but lite else . More variety emotion was reflected the dancing sisters fom Vienna , but they witheir part Igoked she turns on the lover , denouncing bim as a murderer , he kills himself . A thunderstorm , meanwhilo , has been brewing . The mad and conscience - atricken woman goes to the window and is struck dead by lightning pot a survivor left to tell the shocking tale . Although it can hardly be called dancing , the poses and pantomime of Mlie . Leonora , designed to Illustrate the theme of " Womanhood in Ancient Assyria , " in . cludo ber and her unique performance in this cata . logue . Photographs of Mlle . Leonora posing in her very Oriental costumes , in attitudes evidently intended to fascinate ancient Assyrians of the opposite sex , reveal & yery attractive woman in sandals and a much side . slashed single garment which certainly does not re strict the movement of her lower limbs to any great extent . ut mes portance among the Greeks and which it is suggested that dancers of the present should revive - were : The Pyrrhic Dance , warrior's dance , so led after Pyrrhus , of Achilles , took part in it to Ir the funeral of his fer . he Bacchic Dance , Another PC ich took place at vi e - time and consisted of three distiu 3 , composed of slow , gliding steps : in quick , bounding movements , sing a Attle of both of the former . The Rustic by Pan and executed by little childr flowers and with gar lands , of oakle the hair to the left shoulder and to Wody to the waist . As illustrated however , the tendency is to draw on the for some suggestion of costume and theme fo . nal development . A glimpse of the which the result has obsessed the Parisians thed in a letter from a member of the Paris colony recently re ceived by a friend in / k . The letter says : " Paris Is dancing 18 death , and mainly be cause of one man-- 1 ) 11 , brown Algerian , Ben Bouzid , merchant - poten who lives hall the time in Paris and the other 2 in Northern Africa . He loves the dance and insista on having it . So , with the kind assistance of 98. Hazen Hyde and a few royal idlers , the dancin is of the world have con Ancient Egypt bas also furn lobed ideas for ambitious dancers of the new school been , in London , gazing with a purpose hieroglyphics that adorn the on the Thames embankment Extra Ingenuity on the part of on dancers has added a pair of 5 gs , which open and shut and flap companiment to the angular figures of the * Winged Dance " has created quite a lot of comment in the London theatre where it is being formed As a specialty Introduced into a musical como the " Hawaiian Drum Dance " . is said to have alme won its right to stand alone . It is a very wild dancs by a very wild - looking , grinning South Pacific Islander , who works himself into & frenzy by beating with his bands on an odd - shaped drum . In the way of bare - foot dancing , a troupe of eight beautiful Russian girls , clad apparently only in a simple tunic , loosely belted at the waist , has won the greatest favor with London audiences , That they are real artists in their line is proved by their ability to satisfy critics with their rendering of Gluck's Gery Scythian Dance . These pretty and graceful Russians also delight the eye with graceful poses and movements in a dance wherein the throwing back and forth of a ball is the dovelty - or , rather , a variation on an old Greek game . Referring to these Russian dancers , a London critic says : “ The school started by Isadora Duncan , taking one back to the Greeks for both inspiration and dress , was holding the field as far as Intelligent eyes were con cerned when there appeared a new variation , or what appeared to be such , imported from Russia . So bizarre , and astonishing was the style of these Imperial Court dancers that for a time we said : ' Here is something new . ' But a little experience showed it to be but an . other phase of the old tip - toe dancing coupled with novel features , such as the introduction of male com . panions , strenuous - looking fellows of gladiatorial as . pect , who both acted as foils to the dainty ladies and themselves bounded and danced with no uncertain 8 gregated at the French capital , and every kind of wonderful weird and beautiful dance is to be seen here . " Such a collection of dancers was never together before in all the world's history , " Not in ancient Babylonian times , nor in any Mohammedan cities , for the dancers are of all kinds , and are the finest of their kind in the world . " The Russian dancers are wonderful ; they are full of fire and life , and a certain tragic abandon that is indescribable .

" A great feature of these Russian dances bas been sudden or gradual grip and the raising of the dancer by physical dexterity into the air . At moments their movements suggested the new school with its lissome grace , but a sudden pirouette on the toes would sbatter the illusion . " Fascinating L8 tbe Russian dancers bave been
