Ida EuIler's Dances.

Miss Loi Fuller might Just as well take
the same measure of credit 70 herself for
being Ida Fuller's sister as that young
lady assumes In stating the relationship
that exists between herself and the In
ventor OF the beautiful dances that both
execute so well What circumstance has
done for La Loi. by throwing her into con-
tact with some of the great people or the
world is more than offset by the prodigal
way In which nature has dealt with her
sister Miss Ida Fuller. who Is decidedly
more picturesque and beautiful than her
sister, and who executes almost the same
dances. and executes them better. She Is
a woman whose supple figure is drawn
on finer lines and whose physical attrac-
tiveness il enhanced by the skillful manip-
ulation OF the flnny drsperies that art
and the demands for name have called
dances The interest that attached TO
Miss Ida Fuller's appearance might have
been whetted by the talismanc name OF
the protege of Ii Hung Chang. who sub
scribed her name to the statement that
her sisters dances were the same as her
own but an evening with Ida Fuller and
the vivid remembrances OF those dances
of the earlier part of the season leave lit
tie choice between them.
Last night Ida Fuller commenced a four
nights engagement at the Seattle theater
supported by the best vaudeville that has
been seen in this city in years. The enter
tainment was q succession OF novelties
from the rise OF the curtain upon the Par
agon Royal bell ringers until the last
graceful pirouette of the star was blotted
out by the darkened stage. The opening
feature OF bell ringing was compa rative-
