Apattoo Feb ( Perform Guig Observations on her performances in 1910 ( Excerpts only ) Philadelphia Times Feb 4 19 10 .... she interpreted the Peer Gynt Suite of Grieg . With swaying grace she " called the morning out of the East , " then with a dramatic change , that won salvoes of applause from the audinece , she gave the dance of Aase's death . With filmy blasck chiffon clinging about h her , and her wonderfully expressive hands relling of those emotions that her flying feet and swaying body could not express , she flung herself into the dance of death , leaving the audiencee breathless with their own emotions . In Anuidtra's dance Miuss Allan showed all the free leaping faun like grace of the early Greek maiderns . following it with the danxe of the gnomes , almost Oriental in its rhythm and opportunity for dramatic postures . Against the soft background of greenish grey velvet Miss Allan was like some lithe , living piece of ivory , about whom the changing lights and shades fell with every movement of her many dances . Much might be said of the power of the pantomimee shown by Miss Allan . She tells a story with every dances . It is not merely a rhtymical steps set to music but isa pantomime opera . With her lithe , free grace , leapong and running lightly about the stage , or sinking skoxdx into slow postures expressive of deeper emotions , she follows out a story . In the dance of the gnomes one felt her looking for the little brown people . , ; felt her half calling , half repelling them ; saw in her a strange creature of the woods , witch like , flitting about amongst the bosky shadows of the trees . >
