Old Art Of Pantomime Has
Gained in Popularity. Il

nual RevlvaI-ls q Novelty
In America.

New York.-Gesture-the refine
ment Of action-is perhaps the Oldest
form Of expressing emotion. and Just
now there seems to be a tendency 70
revive the old art Of pantomime. with
the English the pantomime play is an
Institution. with Americans It is al
most q novelty. Our older generation
CT theater-goers. however, can recall
'Humpty Dumpty." in which Goody
Two-Shoes. Old One-Two, Tommy
Tucker and Humpty Dumpty became
famous.
Fur tho true love re'er did run
smooth. I'm told.
All win end well where true hearts,
Ike yours. are gold"
What a satisfying couplet to come
from q fairy queen after the opening
vicissitudes Of the wordless play.
Perrot, Arlecchino, PAntalene and
Columbine were characters In Italian
masque plays OF the middle ages. An
incoherent plot was strung together
to embrace acrobatics and ballet dan
cling It was 400 years later that the
descendants of the Italian quartet ap-
peared before an American audience
Plots of the older pantomime plays
were simple and fantastic. without
speech there must be swiftness of ac-
tion to sustain interest The story Of
AHumpty Dumpty." whose popularity
began in the spring Of 1868, when
George l. Fox played the great clown
at the Olympic theater in this city,
Is a good example of pantomimic plot
Goody and Tommy were rustic lovers
and were forced to make love in se-
cret. Old One-Two was the guardian
Of Goody. and at the beginning Of the
play comes upon the pair and threat
ems punishment Humpty appears to
take away the ugly guardian In his
wheelbarrow
Then the good fairy appears to de
liver her hopeful couplet about true
love and changes the characters into
Colunlbine. Pantaloon. Harlequin and
Clown Tommy Tucker becomes the
Harlequin. CARRIED In scales Of yellow,
symbolizing jealousy. blue for love,
red for passion. black for death. Har-
lequin is given a magic hat and a
mask to make him invincible. Old
One-Two, for offense against true love,

tricks. Humpty becoming the clown of
the harlequinade. Such was Humpty,
who has gone where.

Pantomime is a distinctly different
art from that Of acting. Some Of the
clowns of the day who are pantomim-
lists are Adams. Ravel. Melville, Mar
celine. Miaco. A pointed finger must
often tell the whole story. The most
difficult task in pantomime is to
mimic animals. The animal costume
does not suffice. A close study of ami
NAL movements Is necessary.

II is certain that robbery was not

in either of the rooms occupied by

man, "and / want you to come with

Joined by another policeman. the
three climbed the fire escape lad
ders and entered through window.
In the bedroom they discovered the
bodies. The body of the old man was
on the couch. One Of the eyes was
gouged out, and the clinched hands
indicated that the old man tried to
protect himself. The body of the
woman was on the bed, and was COW
cred with a mattress. and on top Of
the mattress the bed clothes were
spread to hide the body.
AS the case with the husband,
one of the woman's eyes had been
gouged out by the sharp instrument
used in killing her. The body of the
man was partly dressed, and that of
the woman fully. The bodies of both
were bruised In various places and in
addition that of the old man was
mulilated.
The nature Of the mutiIation led the
police to believe that II had been be-

and that death had actually been
caused by blows over the head. which
fractured both skulls.
