WASHINGTON-Two comedians
of exceptional merit are Fred Rob
erts and Florence Fulton in their
clever little playlet entitled, sis in
Service" at the Washington this
week The sketch is pure comedy
all the way through and they have
ample opportunity to show their
ability as comedians.
PHEUM-There is an abun-
dance of comedy in the sketch of
Claud and Fannie Usher at the Or
pheum, but the pathetic is present
as well. "Fagans Decision" will be
long remembered by those who
have seen it, and "Spareribs' will
not be forgotten. The Eight Geisha
Girls continue to captivate the
large audiences by their dainty act.
PARTNERSHIPS Awful Night
mare" as presented by Eldon and
Clifton at the Pantages this week
is a very clever sketch. Mr.. Eldon
plays the part of bachelor club
man and Miss Clifton takes several
roles, among them that of a Japa
nese geisha girl, a Dutch country
girl and a Spanish senorita, all
claiming-this is a dream-to be
his wife and producing marriage
certificates to prove it.

last night. {.g
while it takes years of hard and
constant work to make the true
dancer" said Mile. Pertina yester-
day, .''it is also true to great ex-
tent that the dancer must be born
The lower limbs must be formed by
nature for the work; they must be
straight and naturally supple, and
when the dancer stands erect, the
feet together, there must be no in
ward or outward bowling Of the
limbs. They must be perfectly
straight. The instep must be high
and well formed. while the ankles
must be strong, but not too large.
"All of the dancers agility and
strength are from the knee down.
1t is easy to tell properly trained
dancer in a moment, for it will be
seen that she confines her move

ments as much as possible to the
ankles and knees. There can never
be any real grace to one who
dances from the hips.
And l cannot stress too strongly
that the dancer must posses GER
tain physical advantages that are
born with her.. The high instep to
which have already referred is an
absolute necessity.
Look here" she said, and suit
ing the action to the word, she
arose gracefully upon the tips OF
her dainty feet. "You will notice
that my foot is perfectly straight
up and down. as l move about on
my toes. If l did not have very
high instep, my foot would never
take on that position. 1t would be
impossible
IF a girl thinks she can become
dancer without hard work she
will soon find how mistaken she Is
and unless she is willing to work
she had better give up the idea OF
ever becoming a dancer"

ditorium. Somehow the play is
strange and weird--one in which
the average theater-goer cannot be-
come sufficiently absorbed to real
ly comprehend Few of those who
turned out at the Auditorium last
night were much interested In any
other than the dancing and silence
of Pertina and the traits of Ben
Grinnell, whose performance in the
role of his hatanic majesty cannot
be intelligently criticized by COM
mon earthly mortals. There is
plenty of pretty music and the cos
tunes and scenery equal the repre-
sensations of the advance notices.
