CHAPSODY ON THE DANCER'S wraphiccharm . Sat. elty touching the keys of public humour ily create a sensation ; but novelty unaided lom renew her triumphs . There must be ng of genius , some strain or element of spontaneity to hold public enthusiasms con od undeviating in their allegiance .

There is no more pathetic thing on the English stage than the finish of a Maud Allan dance . It is a reluctant confession that all things are ephemeral in their durability . While she dances it appears that there can be no end . Every movement is spontaneous and inevit able .
