BRANDEIS-BOSTON STORE ~~~---A

This 10 no dance of the seven wells. It is a
dance Of only one veil, and not much of a
veil at that. She does not take it off.
She does not need to. 1t is easy now for
the opera glasses, but they do not rest.
The dance begins with some mighty sig
nificant pastures and movements. But, as
there are no program notes, one has to
guess what they signify, and, like the Troad
as described in one of Byron's letters, they
afford a fine field for conjecture" When
these graphics appear to have been ex-
hausted the head of Jokanaan suddenly
appears on a pedestal at the left of the
dancer.
She sees II and folds up like a recoiling
serpent. Then she unwinds and creeps to-
ward 1t with tense, low strides. She hest
tates, she throbs, she turns away, she ap-
proaches again and finally she pounces
upon the head and carries II toward the
footlights. There she goes into a spasm
OF physical raptures over it. She makes
Olive Fromstad's famous dress rehearsal
performance of salome look like the revery
OF a nun. II Mary Garden next season
comes within a mile of this she will cause
New York to sit agog.
Suddenly the dancer springs to her full
height, and, swinging the head at arms
length, brings it above her face. Then she
suddenly drops the white lips upon her own
and for n moment seems TO drink obscene
kisses from them as from the brim of a
cup. Then follows a writhing revulsion.
She puts the head behind her. hides her
head with one arm and creeps back toward
the pedestal. In another moment she drops
it behind the pedestal and falls shuddering

has ever been heard. She was the peer OF
Patti. She was one of the bew born queens
of the colorature world.
Especially was she g~lorlfled for the purity
Of her vocal art and the touching tender
ness of her Interpretation in such roles as
Violetta Vallery, the elegant heroine OF
Verdi's La Traviata." America heard of
this wonderous creature and Mr.. Hammer
stein made it possible to listen to her. The
caloes hurried messages the opposite di-
rection to assure London that its verdict
has been more than approved by New
York. There were some dissenting voices,
it was admitted, but they were those of the
advocates of Sembrich. London never
loved Sembrich, so that signified naught.
But all has been changed. In all her
brilliant career Melba has never been
praised SO ecstatically as she has been in
London this season. A few nights ago
she sang Violetta, and some critics went so
far as to say that it was an unequailed per-
Torrance. The public went into raptures
over it. Melba's voice was in it's very best
state. 1t had never been 50 rich, so mellow,
SO SPLENDID. Her style-why, they even
declared that it was the purest Of the
period. Her Interpolation was matchless.
Meanwhile they have all been wondering
what is the matter with Tetrazzlni. How
is it that she does not sound now as she
did last fall? Does she not sing so well
after all? Or did she lose 1t all among the
savage Americans? Those who had not
the courage last fall now com out boldly
and say she never was an artist Of the first
rank, certainly not to be placed in the same
! class with Melba. The public does not

Again she rises; this time slowly. Her
whole nude figure ~quivers. She writhes
and worms her way across the stage. She
wreathes fantastic figures with her arms.
her legs, her cleaning body. She staggers,
she reels, she falls, a shining mass in the
pallid moonlight. The curtain descends.
The opera glasses also descend. 1.-The
Vision of Salome'' is over. A few people
remain just to prove that they did not
come for this alone. They see geographic
pictures of automobile races. Machines are
overturned; men are killed; men are
mangled. You see 1t all. But 1t is very,
very tame.
The music used for this dance is not
that of Richard Strauss. 1t is tinsel and
calcium light music, but you do not hear
it. You think of nothing but this extraor-
binary exhibition of a nude woman for
the amusement of an audience of richly
clad Londoners and visitors to the worlds
metropolis. Perhaps you are sorry you
saw it, and yet If you are an American,
you can't help being a little pleased, be-
cause you know you will never see It at
home-not next season, anyhow. for Maud
Allan is reengaged at the Palace.
The other sensation has, in one sense, a
closer interest for New York, but it is not
quite so little known. The cable dispatches
carried some news Of 1t at the time Of Nine.

LONDON. July 21.-If there is one thing
that strikes an American more forcioly
than another when ne returns after a
years absence 1t is the cheerful Innocence
of a great city. London is the largest Oh
all cities, as any geography tells the school
how. and Il Is, like most other overgrown
places, greatly affected by fatty degenera-
ton OF the s%ensibilities. 1t is the small
town that has fierce fancies and fatuous
fads in their worst form. but It is yet in a
larger degree the small town that is scarf
fyinE in it's literary and art criticisms and
ielifying in the cold immobility of its
moral code.
One can scarce restrain a smile when
Srayely contemplating the focal points of
general interest in a London season. The
city il packed with foreigners of all kinds.
For once the Americans, though In the ma
jortty, have not everything their own way.
The streets CHATTER with the babel Of
tongues, and one hears every accent known
from Rouen to Budapest, from Naples to
Copenhagen. The Olympic games, the
Franco British exposition and the Hun
garian exposition have caused all this. But
except al the booking offices of the
.'Bakerloo' tube or in the bus thorough
fares It causes no stoppage of the oiled
machinery OF this huge burg.
London's most serious business. that of
pleasure seeking. has conferred itself around
two sensations of the season. These have
been the return OF Melba to glory and the
rise Of Maud Allan on her bare toes to the
dome OF fame's gilded hall. And the
greater of these two is Maud Allan, for at
the end OF the season she is still packing
- 49,. 4koaNor ptubfIy ana giving many
extra and special extra matinees, while
Melba has to sing Desdemona to the otello
OF the most furious OF tenors, Zenatello, in
order TO sustain interest.
The Palace theater is a most attractive
resort, situated in Cambridge Circus,
shaftesbury avenue, which is so near the
middle OF things as It is possible for any
bne object to be IN London. II Is a variety
theater and the ~enterprising manager offers

several headllners on his bill. Even Oscar

them. There is a pair OF jugglers who give
a remarkably clever performance and-bul
what do they all signify? Everyone goes
TO see Maud Allan at about 10 p. m
When she appears the house IL damned
