BALLET DANCING FOR GRACE.
SOCIETY WOMEN COMES TO THIS
PRETTY GIRL TO LEARN TO
STAND II AND SIT DOWN
PROPERLY.

By Mile. Rose Beckett New York's Fam
Gus Teacher OF the Ballet.
Physical perfection is fad nova
ways.
Society women will do anything and
go to any extreme which may lead to
grace and physical development
They have found that nothing is SO
good for stiff joints and awkward
mannerisms as the training which ev-
cry stage dancer MUS undergo. All
the muscles and tendons are stretched
and loosened and general suppleness
of the body is attained which is only
possible in children and adults in per-
feet physical training. Conventional
society dancing, drawing-room ETH
quette and the ordinary promenade are
all improved by the ability to give the
high kick, or do the split.
1t is sald that the popular society
dances for the coming season are to be
of digniied and complicated nature,
like the gavotte and minuet.
To execute these dances successfully
the utmost grace is required. Slow
movements are always the most diil-
cult to perform with grace and steady
poise ana they are also the most beau
tiful when well done. Practice-long
practice and unremitting-is necessary
to accomplish this feat.
During the summer the wise society
girl has faithfully worked in classes
with children and ballet dancers. She
has executed the PAS Assemble" Pas
Sisscne' and ''Paranne," and has prac-
ticed at the bar until her muscles have
ached
In consequence of this energy and
perseverance the fashionable woman OF
1900 and 1901 will possess a grace not
hitherto observed off the stage, and she
will be at once the envy and admiration
of her less ambitious sisters.
The grace of the ballet dancer is OBJ
tanned only by hard work and actual
physical discomfort The process of
stretching the muscles and loosening
the joints is attended at times with ex-
cruciating pain.
The first exercise usually given the
beginner is the stretch ar the bar"
tell my pupil to grasp the bar firmly
with one hand, then TO raise the oppo-
Then / pull the foot along gradually
until the leg is at right angles with
the body. OF course, this cannot be
done in one or two lessons. Long
practice and aching joints and tendons
precede perfection.
A very necessary exercise, particu-
larly for society women. is the separa-
ltion OF the knees. Most women have
| the mistaken notion that the knees
must be kept well in when standing OF
walking. The result is set of knock
kneed individuals. Put the average So
ciety woman into tights and she cuts q
sorry figure
! The only way to overcome this defect
IS to practice walking across the door

in all seriousness; and 1t is for that rea-
son no doubt that the actress is not
more often called upon to try her aDll-
tiles in a masculine character.
Many Have Tried 1t.
But there are very few actresses who
have not at some time in their career
faced the foot lights in mans attire.
What preparation and study these parts
called for we are not aware, but that in
many cases the risky undertakings
were carried through with immense sue
cess can be judged by the favorable
criticisms their performances received.
The character OF Rosalind with its
charming PRESERVATION of a boy lover, IS
always one much sought after, and has
been played by many who would scorn to
accept a masculine role in anything but
a Shakespearean play. Miss Julia Arthur
was one OF the first to successfully at
tempt the part and met with great sue
cess.
But one must not forget that great act
ress, Miss Ellen Terry, who as Portia,
adopting the robes of judge In the ''Mer-
chant of Venice" also adopted the pres
ence and mannerism of the man to fit the
clothes in so powerful manner that de-
scription is baffled. Sharing her honorS
in a manly character is Miss Ada Rehan,
the popular actress, whose change from
the fighty Viola to the sturdy page in
Twelfth Night will long be remem-
bered
But Madame Sarah Bernhardt's wonder
full and daring impersonation of male
characters has been a performance calcu-
lated to discountenance the ridicule gen.
orally expressed of a woman taking a
mans part. The full, thrilling tones of her
voice, the reality of the attitudes and the
tragedy in her voice as the occasion re-
CURED could not be more stirring had the
part been placed in the hands of man
himself
There are many little girls to-day who
habitually take small boys" parts, but
few come in for great prominence. OF the
many Little Lord Fauntleroys," Miss
Annie Hughes was the first, and a cleverer
child has never graced the stage.
1t was the only appearance she ever
made as a boy but one which will be
tenderly remembered by her, not only as
novel experience, but as a recollection
Of an early triumph

The patriotic struggle the insurgents
in Cuba have made recently has e4-
cited the comment and sympathy OF the
whole world. especially in America. The
playwright, always anxious for a new
subject, has not overlooked the dTamat-
ic possibilities il drama treating OF
this struggle. The quick, excited and
patriotic natures of the Cubans and
the hardships imposed upon the ma
tives by the Spaniards, have combined
to make excellent play building mater
ial. For Liberty and Love" is the title
of a new play written on this subject,
and is from the pen OF l.. Marston.
Everywhere this great play liz received
with great favor and enthusiasm and
never fails TO thrill its audiences. For

FAMOUS ACTRESS
N MALE ATTIRE.
FEW STAGE WOMEN But HAVE
PLAYED A MANS PART, AND
MOST OF THEM HAVE
DONE 1T WE'LL.
BY Shirley Eagan.

The privilege OF taking a masculine
part is not a readily accepted one, if
one can judge by the fact that such
part necessitating the up-to-date at
tire of a man is but seldom introduced
into modern plays. At the pantomime
the principal boy" is not hard to find.
1t is a part beloved by music hall art
lists, and is snapped up long before any
other characters are thought Of; but
then panJomimes may be as ridiculous
as one chooses to make them, and very
little ability is expected of the girlish
Prince, the prettier and more effeminate
the better.
But On the comedy stage things are
different. A pantomime boy as the
sturdy Rosaind in LAS You Like 1t"
would be more than ridiculous. The
whole beautiful play would be spoiled.
To perform mans part on the stage
and carry it through realistically is one
of the most difficult pieces of acting.
Such parts often border on the ridicu
lous-the girlish figure, the shrill treble
voice, the affected attitudes would bore
one immeasurably if the play was given

THE WONDERFUL
MORALS OF JAPAN.
ON THE STAGE THEY SEEK AL
! WAYS TO ELATE EVERY DAY
| LIVE AND ACCENTUATE
| THE GOOD.
BY David Belasco.

There is an old proverb in Japan
which applies TO the entire moral struc-
ture OF their social government; it is
this:
a woman must not look upon two
husbands"
There is no evasion of the law in the
remarkable condition of supreme NOR
atty is, at first, confusing to the mod
ern dramatist of our so-called civilized
countries.
With such a law to confront the
authors of dramas and comedies con-
structed to please modern audiences he
would be seriously hampered at the be-
ginning of his efforts.
Imagine the insurmountable difficult
ties of constructing society comedy
under the social sterility of such
law.
~ Noman must not look upon two
hus1ands. To our accepted ideas OF
plot and passion, both on and off the
stage, such maxim seems impossible.
Not that we are without the sentiment
this proverb conveys in our effete civiliza-
ton nor that the customs of our country
are iiOt SUSTAINED Dy d ldTBS
on a high moral basis, but, whereas in
Japan, emotional suppression is the first
rule of life in our country and in Europe
expression is what we are striving for.
The Japanese do not express what they
feel, as we do, because they are taught
that the emotions are serious outbursts of
the soul and must be disciplined to such
uses as apply only to a virtuous improve
ment of their natures. Whereas. in our
country, rage, hate and scorn, in fact, all
the evil passions OF our natures, are being
used as material for authors and drama
fists, the japanese stifie these expressions
and yield to them only in violence of deed,
rarely in words or dialogue.
A crime in Japan is an act~of despicable
impulse, and its punishment is as silent
and irrevocable as the crime itself. The
highest aim of Japanese art reflects the
life of this serious people-tragedy.
During short visit to Japan it was my
privilege to attend their theatres, and I,
found that the underlying motive of all
their plays was a lesson to the people,
sustaining the virtues of patriotism, ma
tional loyalty, filial respect, ceremony of
rank and chastity of woman.
The dramatist is Japan is not confronted
with the psychological confusion of senti-
ment and morals which his brother au-
thor encounters in the Western Henri
sphere.

such speculation were proper, it might
be said that such a disposition as the

commenting upon because She Loved

truth that lies underneath the carl

particulars this particular farce is very
satisfactory. What is called the BUS

PLAY HOUSES.
.At the white Horse Tnvcrn..


The opinion seems to prevail that
the patrons OF the Opera House are to
have rare good thing in the engage
ment of cat the White Horse Tavern
next Wednesday, October Sd. This
comedy from the German, I'm Weissen
Roess'I," was adapted by Sydney Ros-
enfield, who has been unusually sue
cessful in preserving the coloring and
atmosphere of the original. The humor
of German comedy lies in the oddly Of
the characters and the unexpected re-
lations into which they are brought.
Each character in ''At the White Horse
Tavern" is said to be a portrait, pic
ture OF real person, with nindi-
vidualism quite eccentric. The audi
tors it is said, do not laugh at these
people of the TyTol they laugh with
them. That is because they are per-
mitted to understand them, TO appre-
ciate their motives, TO sympathize with
them. Among the quaint people who
will be seen in the play is the thrifty
Tyrolean widow, with a tinge of senti-
mentalism in her makeup. The mas
culine counterpart to the lovable, buX-
ON hostess, is the head waiter, thrift
| ty lover with an eye TO the main chance
and subject to violent pangs OF jeal-
ousy. a funny conception is the char
acter of the rich lamp manufacturer.
! who has won his way by buster and
whom nothing satisfies. Quite anothe:
/ sort is the dear old doctor of phiiology,
who by the most pinching economy
| is able to take a trip every fourth year
with his lisping daughter. There are

with the heels we'll in and the knees
pointing in the direction OF the toes.
The next important exercise IS to
strengthen the ankles and muscles OF
the foot by the tip-toe exercise. This
must be practised several hundred
times day until the calves of the legs
ache terribly The exercise will de-
velop the leg, however, and give proper
poise to the entire body. In time the
whole weight can be borne upon the
tips of the toes.
a general loosening of the hips and
knees is next necessary. This is done
by raising the leg as far as possible at
the size, letting the lower leg from the
knee down hang relaxed. Then the
foot is turned on the ankle, the lower
leg on the knee and the upper leg on the
hip until the entire limb is at right an
giles to the body.
Dancing stoDs are then practiced,
especial care :. ing taken with the POSI-
ton of the fCot.

not really spend one-foIrth OF the Time
or the money upon her race that an ar
fist does.
A prominent actress whose name IS

stage is SO natural, but if she should

Making-Up an Art.
But the art of makeup does not stop
at giving the forgotten touches which
nature has carelessly let go. and IN
managing to look natural ana pretty;
indeed, it only begins here, and
stretches on characterizing each part
of an expressive makeup.
Character makeup requires an espec-
ial genius besides the keenest and most
alert observation; its mistress must
have an instructive comprehension and
sympathy for the expression of charac-
ter in the physiogDomy of animals and
human kind, fundamental under
standing Of drawing and painting, as
we'll as a face flexible enough to hold
the expression painted upon it.
One set of features is capable of an
infinite variety under the direction OF
genius.
When you consider what character
artist has to do to her face six even
ings of the week, and twice a week for
matinees, it is obvious that acting is
not an art for lazy folks.
