FAMOUS BALLET DANCERS.
Stories of La TaeIloni, Fanny Ellsler
and Lola Montez.

A feature of this years opera season
will be the revival of the ballet at Covent
Garden, with Mile. Boni, from Brussels,
principal dancer.
1t has been asserted that the grand
ballet died when the famous Taglion re-
tired in 1915. At any rate the ballet today
is chiefly a spectacle of dresses and col
ored limelight Except for a very few per-
formers dancing as a high art has van
ished.
There is no one now to set beside La
Taglioni who was the queen of the stage
sixty years ago, says the London Daily
Mail. Balzac introduced her in his novels.
Even Thaokeray condescended to notice
her and declared enthusiastically in The
Newsomes'' that the young men of the
day will neWer see anything so graceful
as Tagloni in La Sylphde" At that
time she was the rage. Stage coaches and
greatcoats were named after her.
La Tagloni owned her charm to a won
derful lghtness and grace. Her style was
rather ideal than realistic and voluptuous,
as was then the vogue. The hldeous bal
let skirt of today she never wore, but a
skirt that reached nearly to her ankles 1t
was one of the principles of her father,
who taught her all she learned of the
art, that the dancer should be modest in
dress, in movement and In expression.

his pupils to use all the coquetry they
could.
Nestris, who founded the famous Vestris
family, was an eighteenth century celeb
rity, and quite remarkably concelted even
for a dancer. There are but three great
men alive he used to say myself, the
Prussian Frederick and Voltaire." ct is
interesting to compare Southeys remark
that a male dancer deserves to be ham
strung.) That profession of which he was
SO proud is, indeed an arduous one. Yes
iris used to practice for about six hours

and supple.
curious story Is told about Fanny
Ellsler, a woman dancer with coal black
hair, which illustrates the extreme mus
cuar strength dancer acquires. She was
crossing to America, when she entered her
cabin one day and discovered thief alb
stractlng the jewel case which she kept
hidden under her pillow. Before he could
attack her she planted her foot full
IN his chest and killed him on the spot.
1t Is curious that no English woman has
ever achieved supreme success as a
dancer. 1t is possible, as foreigners assert,
that they lack the dramatic gift. It is
certain that a lifelong devotion and ardu-
Gus apprenticeship are essential to any
expression through the medium of dane

1.-The Niaht of the Fourth.'

What the Nashville Banner says of
1.-The Night of the Fourth" at the Bijou
this week:
1T was like the regular winter season
last night at the Bijou, for the cool
weather, combined with a popular attrac-
ton, caused the theatre to be filled. The
coming of Little Chip and Mary Marble
is always a pleasure to theatre-goers of
this city and they, so to speak, turned
out en- masse last night to witness the
opening performance of THE Night of
the Fourth, musical comedy in three
acts. OF course, the principal comedy
devolved on Little Chip. That small-slzed
bit of humanity is par excellence as a
laugh producer and he did not fail to
evoke many hearty rounds, for he has an
nimitable manenr of going through his
lines and getting about the stage. This
time he is Eli Frost retired iceman.
who goes to a summer resort to settle
his overstrained nerves, but instead of
finding rest he gets into all kinds of ex-
element.
Miss Mary Marble, who has become
quite a favorite here, again appeared to
advantage In the role of Elsie Bolivar
Her role was not difficult, and during
the action of the play she sang several
songs in that sweet-voiced manner so
we'll liked.

East Lake Casino.

An all-star vaudeville bill will hold the
boards at the Casino all this week. with
matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Satur-
day.
The following extract from the Nash
vile Banner speaks In the highest praise
of the performance:
Nothing theatrical has been more well
come in Nashville In a year than the
vaudeville programme offered at the
Casino Monday night. 1t was not claimed
by the management that an 'a1l-head-
liner bill would be given and as man
ayers were prone to exaggeraton, the
audience did not expect more than an
ordinary entertainment. They were given
a surprise for the entertainment was the
best vaudeville performance seen here
In a long time. That must not be taken
to mean that every number was excel
lent, but that every number was good and
several We're excellent.
1.-THE entire bill was good, very little of
the programme being old and all being
overhauled enough TO make 1t appear
new.
1.-The Durands did some pretty novelty
dancing and sang some good songs, an
swearing each encore with something not
heretofore heard in Nashville.
