In India professional dancing by
women is naturally associated with
ideas of the nautch. and dancing girls
are iii consequence thereof held by
the native public as necessarily de-
void of the slightest notions of pro-
pricty or morality. Even when they
achieve fape and popular favor In
their calling, they are still regarded
as very much akin to the women of
the street.
It is for this reason that the au-
thorities in India are declining to per-
NIT the projected performances of the
American dancer, Miss Maude Allan
and have barred her appearance at
Calcutta and other cities of Hindustan.
IN "Salome." or THE Spring Song or
any other of those productions In
which she appears in the very scantiest
rainent.
There has always been tendency
on the part of the Oriental TO despise
women. White women in the East,
with their independent ways and I'M
yelled faces. are, as it Is. misunder-
stood by the natives of every class.
who find 1t difficult to reconcile the
bearing of these women with their
own notions of decency and propriety.
White women in the East have, indeed.
considerable difficulty In making
themselves respected, and are at par
towards the maintenance OF the pres
tige of the white race. 1t is prestige
which constitutes the principal basis
of the power by means of which Great
Britain. for instance, maintains her
hold upon her huge Indian empire,
with it's 300.0Oo.00O OF natives. among
whom the 10000 English troops can
only be considered In the light OF
mere handful.
For Miss Maude Allan, n white wo-
man, to tour through India with her
semi or thrce-quarter nude dances, and
| that too with the sanction Of the Eng
! fish authorities, void be to deal an
| almost irrcparable blow not only to
the respect which it is necessary that
white women must maintain ut all
costs In the Orient, but even to the
prestige of the entire white race in
the East
1t is only fair to explain this. In or
der that the English authorities at CAL
cutta may not be accused over here OF
arbitrary conduct in preventing Miss
Maude Allan from fulfilling tho con-
tracts which she has made for pro-
ressional tour through the dominiona
Of King George in India.
Incidentally, l may mention that the
most celebrated professional dancer in
India is Gauhar Jan, who is half Eng
lish. that is To say. the daughter OF
q native mother and of an English
father. But from her earliest child
hood her lot was cast with the ma
tives, and. despite her English appear
ancc, she has lived with them and III
their manner. and has led an alto
gether Indian life. Her Eurasian ORR
gin is known to all, and in spite OF
her appearance. none of the natives
take her for white woman. She has
amassed considerable fortune in
money and jewels by her calling, and.
while her dances are wholly native.
has nevertheless taken one leaf out OF
the books of footlight favorites in the
civilized West, namely, she had one OF
her jewel cases stolen at l<urachi
just before the last mails left Bonn
bay for Europe.
