Ief5 or right, giving the dancer a v1vac1ous
and pleasing expression. Dancers should
learn from chaste pictures of sculpture and
painting the real mode of displaying them
selves with taste and gracefulness
Take care to make the arms SO encircling
that the points of the arms may be imper-
ceptible. Having given his readers pretty
good idea of the disposition to be made of the
body in parts as a whole, Mr. Headlam takes
up the dance itself with its various steps and
movements. He thinks a truly good dancer
should throw into her steps sort of LIGHT
and shade, and by exactness of the perform
ance distinctly mark each variation. The
''grande temps" should be wide, bold and
easy to be most effective, with the ending
firm and upright on the legs. In the 'terre a
terre" steps there cannot be too much ac-
tivity about the instep, nor the feet bent too
much downwards, as the first gives brilliancy
and the latter grace. In the entertainments"
variety and novelty should be the constant
aim, with no elevated steps or long pauses to
cause GOODNESS. The "entrechal" is a light
step, during which the legs rapidly cross
each other while in the air, as many as four
teen times in some cases. 1t is better to avoid
too much of an effort, as it causes too much
of a muscular effect to be pleasing to the
spectator. The most elegant ''entrechals'
are done by opening at the third cut.
As to the styles of dancing, the serious is
the hardest and most exacting, as it requires
close study and can only be appreciated by
connoisseurs. This style is as good as lost
through neglect. The dancer suited for such
should be large and symmetrical The demi-
character dancer should be of middle stature
and fine form. The style is mixture of all,
but with the grand efforts of the serious
omitted. The comic and pastoral dance
should be left to the smaller and thick set
performers, and these should study the nat
urai habits of the country they wish to rep
resent.
Men must dance in manner very different
from women; the temps de vigeur and bold
majestic execution of the former would have

material upon Carlo Blasts "Code of Terp-
sichore," that was given to the world in 1928
when Blasts was principal dancer at the
Kings theatre. Mr.. Headlam puts his OBJ
ject in appearing as an author, according to
The ST. Louis Globe-Democrat, as the wish
"to enable the public to understand better
than they do at present how difficult the art
of dancing is, so they may more fully appre-
ciate dancers and their performances.
Under the head of general instructions to
pupils, the author gets down to the opening
of the business of his book. Practice is the
essential for perfection, and no other art de-
mands closer attention. Temperance in all
things must be strictly observed and no other
exercise must be intermingled. Particular
attention must be paid the carriage of the
body and arms, with their motions easy and
graceful, and always in accordance with those
of the legs. Equal regard must be given both
legs in every lesson and exercise, so one may
not excel the other. Care must be taken to
acquire perpendicularity and an exact equi-
ibrium, with the performance correct and
precise, the steps brilliant and light, every
attitude natural and elegant. A sort of
abandon must be thrown into the positions,
the countenance must be animated and ex-
pressive. The dancer must be vigorous but
not stiff, rapid of movement, careful to bring
all details into harmony, in exact concert
with the music, easy in execution and salts
fed with the style of dancing the figure and
physical powers are best suited to-
One of the chief things is to acquire facil
ity of turning the legs out completely. To
this end relax the muscles about the hips that
the upper part of the legs may move freely
and the knees turn out Practice will bring
some wonderful results in such direction. The
bending of the knee must be easy, precise and
elegant. If the body is long raise the legs
higher than the general rules direct, and if
short let them be kept little lower. Many
persons are what are called close legged, and
as many others bow legged. Pains must be
taken as far as possible to remedy these de-
fects. The first is better adapted for the Sc
Tious dance, and should preserve a gentle
flexibility in her execution, never extending
the knees except at the examinations of open.
ings, steps and attitudes. The bow legged is
better at character and humorous dancing,
and should endeavor to keep the legs well to-
gether.
The body should be, as a rule, erect and
upright on the legs. The chest should be

bend, and much firmneSs about the loins con.
tinually preserved during the dance. There
must be no atfectation, however, as this mars
everything The head, shoulders and bust
should be supported and encircled by thu
arms in every movement, so that they may
present all together a graceful picture, the
legs participating in the harmony. In the
steps the body must be quiet, firm and I'm.
shaken, yet easy and plant
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-08-08

The position, opposition and carriage of the
arms are, perhaps, the three most difficult
things in dancing. 1t is law of nature that
when putting one foot forward or back the
arm on the opposite Of the body moves cor
respondingly with it. Observing this coun-
terpoidng of the body as it deviates from the
central line Of gravity gives the dancer a
graceful appearance.
There are two movements for moving the
wrists-upward and downward. When the
move is to be made down, the wrist must be
bent inward, the hand moving in half cir
Gle and returning to the first position, with
care not to bend the wrist too violently, as
it would then appear broken The elbows
move in the same direction, with the differ
ence that when the elbows bend the wrists
should also be bent, imparting to the move
much grace. Learn to hold the arms as best
accords with the physical construction. II
short in stature let them be higher than the
general rule prescribes, and if tall let them
be lower. A good dancer should omit moth
ing that may tend to remedy or conceal her
personal defects.
Let che point OF junction OF the shoulder
bone with the lower bone of the arm be level
with the palm of the hand, the shoulders low
and always motionless, elbows round and well
supported, and the fingers gracefully grouped
together The position and carriage Of the
arms must be soft and easy. Let them make
no extravagant movement, nor permit the
least stiffness to creep into their motions.
Beware lest they be jerked by the action and
reaction of the legs; this is-a great fault and
sufficient to spoil dancer, what perfection
soever she may possess in the exercise Of her
legs.

pendicular. but should incline Q little to the

Square theatre.

a disagreeable effect in the latter, who must
shine and delight by bright steps and grace,
full motions, and by modest voluptuousness
and abandon in all their attitudes.
NEIL BURGESS.
The American theatre going public has
been spoken of as being demonstrative, but
not affectionate. There are, in truth, not
very many actors and actresses on the stage
in this country who have really inspired
their audiences with that kind of personal
regard that is said to be so common in Eng
land. Among the few, however, it is safe to
say that Neil Burgess is numbered. The first
news that the accident by which he was SO
frightfully burned at his home in New Jer-
sey not long ago would prove fatal probably
caused many person a mOmentary pang of
sorrow who had never seen him off the stage,
who only knew him with the glare of the
footlights in his face Later, when the doc
tors said he might possibly live, his many ad-
mirers fetched a sigh of relief, which was
intensified still later when the news that he
was on the high road to recovery was sent
out. This last pleasure was tempered, how
ever, by the statement that Burgess would
never be able to go on the stage again; that
Josiah Aliens Wife" would henceforward
be obliged to send her homely wit to cheer
mankind through the lips of some other and
probably less genial actor, and that the
widow Bedott" must in the future, for q
time at least, be presented by a stranger.
Burgess was born in Boston forty-three
years ago. When he was still a youth he
