The Dance in Ancient Greece.

rum tHt NiHeteeutH SSutuiys
A passage in Herodotus tells with what
contempt the Greeks treated mere acrobatic
dancing, and how inferior 1t was eansid-
cred to be to the higher art. certain
Hippocleides. having been asked to show
one of the many accomplishments which
entitled him to become the husband of the
daughter of the tyrant of Sicyon. proceeded
to display himself In the dance; and having
commenced with stately measure. he then
wished to show his wonderful agility and
so well did he succeed that CIisthenes, the
tyrant, angrily exclaimed: Son of Tisan-
der, you have danced away your marriag &C..
refusing to have a son-fn-law who was so
little OF an artist that he could make a
boast of bis mere skill. Socrates. too, had
great dislike to the wonderful tricks
which dancers could perform with their
bodies. and thought them very ugly What
would have been his disgust could he have
seen some of our modern contortfons--the
nigh kicking. the skirt dance. the ''splitv'
As In all great art the Greeks In their
dancing made use of mechanical means
only In SO far as they could assist In carry
Ing out the artists inspiration The true
technical difficulties: he must be an abso-
lutte master of Technique" but never
should he allow that Technique, to be the
end and aim of his art: by so doing he FOR
feits all claim to the title of artist In the
real and highest sense of that much abused
word.
Looking, then. at the subject from this
point of view. we can see the gulf which
separates modern dancing from the Greek
dancing. The modern term denotes some
thing entirely mechanical however pretty
and pleasing our dancing masters contriye
to make II by having rhythmical acrobatic
feats performed by beautiful executanfs
Dancing in the Greek sense must be inter-
pretsd quite differently; 1t Is rhythmicaI
unconventional so far 1t Is mechanical
but 1t 10 also pantornimic. It Is the fmita-
ton OF words by gestures; the bodily ex-
preston Of feeling.

Special Cablegram to The Star
PARIS March 24.-The resistance to the
inventories of church property continues to
assume a violent form. particularly In GER
tain parts of the south of France, where
1t would appear to have been organized
on large scale. 1t has resulted in many
further collisions with the gendarrnerie,
and In some instances In counter demon
STATIONS by anti-clerical supporters of the
separation law. At many of the country
churches, especially In the region of the
Haltes Alpes, the registration officers and
even the gendarmes have been obliged to
retire before mobs which threatened them.
not only with pitchforks. cudgels and
stones, but with firearms. Barricades have
been erected outside some churches, while
in others a sort of portcullis has been hung
above the principal entrance. In some
cases the authorities. after forcing an en-
trance. have found that all the objects OF
value have been removed.
The spirit OF section of the Catholic
clergy may be gathered from the declara-
ton attributed by the militant Catholic
Gaulois to the parish priest of Champel, in
the Haute Loire region, where thee gen.
darmes were obliged to use their revolvers
in seIf-defense: IF the government per-
sIsts In it's determination to take the in
ventories in our churches bloodshed is GER
tain.
ton was confirmed by Mgr. Guiliois, the
htshop In whose see the incident occurred.
THE same spirit would seem to have In
snired the pastoral letter just issued on his
return from Rome by the archbishop OF
TnsIIouse. who says: THE brutal and pre-
mature application of the separation law
has already provoked an explosion of in
dipnatfon which is the prelude of worse
trouble You know with what firmness We
have condemned 1t from the very first, pro-
claiming 1t TO be a crime against God and
an iniuuity toward men.
In this connection 1t Is worthy of note
that several OF the Roman Catholic eccle-
siasticai authorities, including the cardinal
archbishop of Paris. expressly instructed
their clergy TO content themselves with
protest and to refrain from active resist
anee and secondly that no difficulty what
ever has occurred in taking the Inventories
in Protestant and Jewish places OF worship.
Four Of the French cardinals have just held
a meeting at the archfepiseopal palace to
consider measures necessary for the ple-
nary assembly of the episcopate in cennec-
ton with the separation law. The meet
ing was also attended by two arehibishops
and two bishops. forming a commission OF
inquiry. Although the proceedings have
been kept secret, the Gaulois states that
after the program OF the coming assembly
had been discussed a kind OF a subcommit-
tee was formed for the regulation OF eli
details. When the program Is eventually
arranged 1t will be submitted to the pope
In conclusion it Is declared that Cardinal
