greatest care was taken not even the
smallest detail In equipment and at
mosphere. The first and third acts OF
THE Girl in the Taxi" occurs in the
beautifully appointed home Of John
Stewart on Riverside Drive, New
York. Instructions were issued to the
stage director to pay a personal Wis
it to the residence of a wealthy bank
er who lives on the Drive and to copy
infinitely every detail of the living
room in his mansion. Nothing was
omitted. Photographs were taken Of
the room, Of the furniture. the decora-
tons and the electrical equipment.
The carpet and the costly rugs were
likewise copied and duplicated when
the play was produced. An artist &C.
companied the stage director and not
ed the color scheme Of the apartment,
and the scenery was painted in &C.
cordance with his drawings.
"Littie Mis- FIx-it."
One OF the most talked of novelty
hits in any of the new shows this
season. is the Turkey Trot" dance.
which Eva Tanquay has introduced
in her latest musical gaiety Little
Miss Fix-It" the attraction announc-
ed for the Gennett Saturday. Oct. %.
The dance is so full of cunning and
seductive movements that society is
taking it up. Turkey Trot" parties
have been abe rage in and around
New York and Chicago for the past
summer and especially with the
younger set. The dancers take their
positions face to face. the man grasp
ing his partner under the arms with
his hands, fan-fashion over her shout
der blades, instead of placing his arm
tenderly about her waist as in the
olden days. The lady laces her fair
arms about her partners neck, and
grips him with the grim determina-
ton of a sea bather being rescued
from the surf. The man wears a
most contented look and the lady op-
ems her mouth in a smile unconscious
ly displaying her molas as in mirth.
The music is waltz time, and at every
third beat In each measure the gen.
tleman bumps the lady on alternate
alternately bob up and down like a
young girl horseback riding. This is
the "trot" movement that gives the
dance it's name 1t is claimed by all
that have seen it to be extremely fas-
cinating and amusing to watch, each
trot getting a laugh. Now that you
know, let's see you do 1t.
