Not IN recent years has a dramatic
production attracted the wide attention
that has come to this play Upon its
first presentation in New York IL be-
came the sensation OF the hour. the
chief topic OF conversation or the

cess Of the piece throughout the Coun-
Try has been little short Of marvellous.
Not alone in this country has The
Devil created a furore, but II is al
the present time the leading dramatic
success Of Europe.
This play, with its symbolic treat
ment, deals with the evil that is within
US and that constantly urges US on 10
wrong doing. This devil, as AIolnar
conceives him, is the symbol of a
thought, in the Euise Of a human be

The ever-inCreasing throng Of Sa-

only has the popularity Of stage dancing

a new and beautiful dance.
This dance is known as the physical

The dance requires such great physi-
cal effort to make it perfect in grace,
such perfect pOise and nerve control
that it lasts but a few moments, but
makes one of the biggest hits Of the
production. It has been one of the
surprises Of the season. and has caused
inquiry to come to the management and

asking who was her instructor and #
il would be possible for her to give les
sons TO young girls to make them as
graceful as Miss Burt.
1t is hard to give an answer to these
queries. Miss Burt's dance and grace
is the result of long training in the new
school of physical culture, and it would
be necessary for anyone ATTEMPTING the
dance TO be as well trained with every
muscle and nerve under control and the
power OF great mental concentration.
Efforts to describe the dance have also
failed.
