Dancing Craze Has Grip on New York

masked dancers at the rival vaudeville
theaters, are the latest examples of
the music hall craze for dancing SEN
sations. We had STORY" dances, toe
dances, clog dances, cake walks, can
cans. everything. it seemed, that the
mind of man has been able to invent
or res1Iscitate.
1t remained, however for some en-
terprising manager to take advantage
of the idea and give the public an en-
tire evening of contrasted and almost
unbroken dancing.
From the beginning to the end it
is almost one unbroken dance. Be
tween the dances and between the
acts the audience has chance to rest
its eyes and prepare for a new round.
Now a glimpse at the popular sup
per places or the tea rooms at the
big hotels would give a stranger from
Oshkosh the idea that the hobble
skirt was quite as much of a craze
in its way Just now as. well. let US
say, the dance.
No play, therefore, which attempted
to call itself apotheosis of the dance
could be considered complete without
an attempt to show how a woman
would look dancing in a hobble skirt.
The hobble skirt dance, to say the
least, is amusing.

TOPEKA, KAHN any one Of 20
Kansas towns today one may see
hundreds Of chickens running and fly
ing, with many squswks and cackles
and calls, to meet incoming motor
trains. AT every station along the
lines where motor cars are operated
the chickens have learned to hike
with all their might to the depot
whenever they hear the sharp blast
OF the siren whistle OF the motor cars.
Chickens usually run away from
steam trains, but they run for the
motor cars. The chickens are as reg
ular about meeting these cars as the
bus driver and the postmaster. Every
old hen, pullet. rooster and cockerel
not penned up answers the call of the
motor car siren. This whistle sounds
more like a fog-horn than a railway
whistle, and can be heard long dis
tances. When the siren sounds the
chickens take the shortest cut 10 the
