Oiling the Body.
The custom of amounting the body
with oil is almost universal among the
natives of Africa. The idea is not
pleasant one. but the darkles know
what they are about and use the lubri-
cant to prevent chapping of the skin.
The hot winds in the region Of the
Nile have a most irritating effect on
the body, and the most sensitive skins
crack until the blood flows.

The Theatre
RUSSIAN DANCING.

The following statement has been
given to the press by the Russian
American Art league of New York:
Several months ago we took coca
sion to sound a warning against per
| formances that would be foisted upon
the American public as Russian dane
protect the name of Russian artistry
from being dragged into the mire.
Now that 1t has come to pass that
the police have felt called upon to reg
ulate performance in this city termed
Russian It is only just to call your
attention to the fact in fairness to the
many genuine. clean, uplifting and ar
tistic Russian performances and per-
formers-choreographic, instrumental,
and vocal-that will suffer in conse-
quence of this incident.
Primarily, the star of this so-called
Russian performance never saw Rus
STA. She was an American vaudeville
performer who has not been without
previous experience of q similar char
acter over questions Of propriety. 1t
is universally conceded that it was
the part OF the program contributed by
this performer more than any other
circumstance that caused the police to
act.
"Secondarily, while IL can not be de-
MED that there were Russians employ
ed, they were outnumbered probably
ten TO one by performers of other ma
tionalities French, Ger
mans, Italians, etc. The preponder-
ance was so great that the use of the
title Russian aroused those most vi
tally interested in the preservation of
the prestige and dignity of Russian art
istry, and the action of the police came
as no surprise or shock to them.
Russian artistry requires no vulgar
ity, lewdness or questionable methods
to gain or sustain popularity-a fact
attested by the success OF
Mile. Anna Pavlowa, NJ. Mikail Mord-
kin, NJ. W. w. Andreeff and his Bal
alaika orchestra, NJ. Dmitri Smirnorff,
the Metropolitan tenor, NJ. Albert Greg
orowich Janpolski, the Russian bari
tone, Nine. Lydia Lypkouska and other
prominent Russian artists with whom
American opera and concert goers are
familiar.
None would resent recourse to the
base and low in the name of Russian
artistry quicker than they. All friends
of Russian art deeply regret the irD
preston obtained that the police acted
against Russian dancing"
