The dancer was accompanied by Isolde Menges , the young English violinist , who is a pupil of Leopold Auer.p 23 15 Oct 1916 I . Maud Allan's first impressions of life , so the great symphonic dancer herself declares , reach back to the time when she was tucked in her little crib amid a family of dolls . When a baby , she says , she lived in her fairy tales , and even now she is never happier than when her mind reverts to that mystic realm where fairies and goblins and princes reign . At an early age , Maud Allan was taken from her home in Toronto , Can . , to California , where she learned to ride bareback and swim and where her life was devoted to the out - of - doors . " At 13 years of age , says the dancer , " T saw Sarah Bernhardt for the first time , and my ambitious little heart burned within me . ” * Child as she was , the idea struck her , while observing Bern ihardt act , that more could be expressed by beautiful movements of the body than by the lips . Then and there she realized the importance of the poetry of motion . Maud Allan has successfully revived the lost art of the expression dancing of the Greeks . She has shown it in her dancing and she has appeared in almost every country on the globe . With her symphony orchestra under the direction of Ernest Bloch , the eminent Swiss con ductor , she will appear at the Lyceum on October 9th . 1886 ) MAUD ALLAN MATINEES American Dancer Appears in the Forty - Fourt at Street Theater with Symphony Orchestra Maud Allan , the American dancer , whe trained in the school of Isadora Duncan helped in no small degree to bring about the revolution in romantic dancing , began a series of matinees at the Forty - fourth Street Theater , Monday , Oct. 16. She was assisted by the Maud Allan Symphony Orchestra of forty pieces , under the leadership of Ernest Bloch , a Swiss composer and conductor . A one - act dance play , “ Nair , the Slave , " a love tragery of the Orient , which might be called a companion piece to “ Scheber azade , " was the chief feature of the pro gram . Given by Miss Allan and a company of twelve to music by Belpassi , it proved a colorful and interesting ballet . The other dances , most of which are fa miliar to local spectators , included inter pretations of eight preludes of Chopin , Men delssohn's Spring Song , " and Schubert's “ Moment Musical . The settings were gen erally effective . During her long absence abroad Miss Allan has lost none of her old charm , or grace , or appreciation of the beautiful . Like Miss Duncan , she strives to interpret , not imitate , natural qualities , by means of nat ural movements - that is , movements wbose execution are possible without special train ing . However , it does not follow that cul tivation does not bring a better interpreta tion . Miss Anan has perfected herself in her art until she stands pre - eminent as an interpretative dancer . 66 U ALLAN TO BE AT BLIND FUND BENEFIT 27 2 Dancer Will Be One of the Features of Program at Carnegie Hall Entertainment .
