A large and fashionable audience at
tended the benefit performance at the Be
lasco Theater yesterday afternoon for the
Home for Incurables and the Barney
Neighborhood Club. The occasion was
trio of eastern dances by Miss Ruth st.
Denis, American girl, whose success
as an oriental dancer is well known in all
the aristocratic circles of our large cities
The soft lights and fragrant incense that
suffused the scenes; the weird cadences OF
tie oriental music and the beautiful, rich
tapestries that decked the stage combinet
to transport the audience to the land OF
the Mahwa, flowers and mysticism.
Miss ST. Denis danced her own creations.
There were three figures given In scenes
set with conscientious fidelity to all the
details Of Hindoo life. The first was The
Spirit Of the Incense In which the in
terror of a temple was diffused with the
fragrant odors of incense in which the
dancer swayed and curved until she seemed
u veritable part of the soft-hued vapor.
The second dance was 1.-The Cobra" and
here the sinuous movements of the dancer
and the artistic movements of her hands
ard arms gave striking suggestion Of giant
snakes. The concluding figure was the
GROWING climax of the clever arfiSf'S
AS Radha, the defied wife of Krishma of
the temple, Miss ST. Denis represented an
idol seated on an altar, envroned with all
the splendor of light and colors of the
oriental temple. Aroused to life by the
unrest of her devotees, she descends from
her sacred mount and executes series OF
marvellous dances, embodying a poetry or
motion and beauty of poses SO wonderful
with the Hindoo dancers, and typefying the
five senses and the acme of happiness that
follows their remuneration. The curtain
falls upon the last picture, showing Radha
seated once more on the altar, in the soft
glow of lights and the impressive air of
the temple. Miss st. Denis is a beautiful
young woman, and the poetic curves and
weavings of her dances and the perfect
poses as the idol unquestionably stamp her
as distinct genius in her role.
The oriental music rendered by the or
chestra during the dances is the work OF
Mr.. Harvey Worthington.
