The story tells of the obstacles that beset the rug maker's daughter in her quest of true love , and her happy realiza tion after many trials and tribula fions .

The Rug Maker's Daughter , " which is seen at the Jefferson theatre . That Maud Allan should succeed so brilliantly in an art she had never before attempted simply brings out the fact that the dances of Maud Al lan , Pavlowa , and such superwomen of ort , gain their distinction from the very fact that they are fundamentally dramatic les women are greater than all others in the world because they are something more than mere physical phenomena . It is the force of their intellect which refines their dancing into - such sheer elegance . They are living something even & S they dance ; dramatizing Rhythm is nothing short of a mistake to think they are merely dancers . They are Bernhardts to music . In the production of " The Rug Mak er's Daughter , " Maud Allan laced the Ordeal of sharing the Stage for the first time with other people of ac customing herself working with other people : of abandoning every method she had made her On and doing things another way : doing things a Someone else wanted the way of the drama .
