Chicago Jan 24/10 MUSIO IN MOTION of Motion . IS DANCER'S ART co 0.0 Maud Allan , at Auditorium , 1y was done here by the dancer De Swirsky . Interprets Tonal Poems with Grace That Charms . Chicago tantune GIVES GRIEG'S PEER GYNT Jan 24 to Equals and in Some Ways Sur passes Isadora Dunean ; to Appear Again , p3 This was particularly brought home to the onlooker in her dancing of the music of the Peer Gynt " Suite of Grieg , which recent ly The latter merely capered about the stage in a state of comparative audity , in nowise interpreting the music , and clearly having as her role object in performance the dis playing of her physical charme . Miss Allan entered into the meaning of the music , and , catching that meaning , translated it into pos ture and motion . The " Morning " was a greeting to the day by a creature natural and primal , who felt surprise at the miracle of dawn , buy who rejoiced in it . The “ Ase's death " was elow quent with dread , with terror , and finally with pain , as death was met , felt and yield ed to . This was one of the high points in Miss Allan's achievements yesterday , for It contained the tragic note , and yet was unfailingly beautiful . Interprets the Tonal Poem . The * Anitra's dance " was not truly orten tal any more than is Grieg's music , but the grace , the joyousness , and the piquancy that is in the little tonal poem were interpreted . The " Dance of the Gnomes was a wila trenzied affair , which fitted the music ex actly , and was a terpsichoread performance of exceptional skill and virtuosity . Later Miss Allan was seen in the Chopin ** Funeral March , " which was veritably in terpreted and was rich in imaginative and poetic qualities ; and in the Rubinstein Valse Caprice * in which fantasy , joyous ness , and elfish playfulness were neatly and tellingly embodied . Earlier she danced the Rubinstein Melody in F , a Waite and two Masurkas of Chopin , and the Mendelssohn Spring Song . " There was nothing in the dancer's work whioh could in anywise offend the most tastid . fous , but , on the contrary , much that could but appeal and appeal strongly to every lover of the beautiful , the graceful , and the imaginative . The announcement was made that Miss Allan would be seen again at the Auditorium the afternoon of Sunday , Feb. 0 , and It is rumored that she then will give her ** Vision of Salome " dance which created so great a stir in Europe . W. L. HUBBARD . 3 Frigo Maud Allan , the dancer of whom much has been apoken and written , was disclosed to the Chicago public yesterday afternoon at the Auditorium , whene , asaleted by the Philhar monie orchestra under Mr. Emanuel's leader ship , she danced a program of her best known dances . The audience was one of fair pro portions and although clearly one that had been attracted largely through curiosity , such was the character of Miss Allan's achievements that curiosity soon grew to interest , and out of interest came apprecia tion . Applause whlod bold ot understanding and of hearty liking for her and her work was her reward long before the afternoon was ended , and after the scheduled numbers had been given the request for more was such that an extra - the ** Blue Danube " of Strauswas danced , and several recalls ac . knowledged before the audience left the the ater . Miss Allan's art le more like that of Isa dora Duncan than has been any dancer's seen bere since that exponent of the Greek art became known to us . M. Allan's is the equal of that of Miss Duncan , and in cer tain respecta impresses as of even broader :) scope . It is not so purely and so unyieldingly Greek . It has greater variety , and there fore is more elastic and more satisfying as a medium for the translating of music fito motion . Miss Duncan converted everything into the Greek ; Miss Allan more nearly suits her art to the character of the music itselt . Everything Sensual Is Banished . She is a woman tall and slender , with = auppleness of body and limb that approaches the marvelous and which is so skillfully utilized that every motion , every posture , and every line takes on grace and beauty . Anything more wonderful than her bands in grace and suppleness has yet to be seen here from any dancer . Nothing that she did yesterday suggested the sensual or the animalistic , but all was invariably pure and beautiful in the impression made . Intelli gence is back of everything Miss Allan does , and makes meaningful and significant her every movement ICSSOMAS SPRING Sono
