Tango Between Courses
La Ia, and what are we coming to
when learned sayants, trailing formid-
able letters after their names, take to
a ponderous analysis of the present
dance craze? When venerable Jour-
nails like the London Times and the
Saturday Review, crowding out sol
emn discussions of this or that, take
to viVisecting the tango and the other
new dances which just now seem to
have bewitched the leisure world of
the two continents-what indeed does
it all mean? -
Sir Ray Lancaster, a renowned ey-
loiutionist and one of the greatest sci
entists since Darwin, has theory that
dancing has some function to perform
in the evolution of society or it would
rot survive, and his thesis occupies
column after column and has been fol-
lowed by letters to the editor in
which Sir Lankester's views are as
sailed or defended. These views, by
the way, cannot be given in a short,
off-hand review like this. One would
either have to resort to flippant COM
edy or to tie most ponderous logic to
even review the English sagant's
views on dancing. But this much he
does Concade - that there is a subtle
connection between the capacity TO
dance well and the capacity TO tri-
umph in the struggle for existence.
And Sir Ray has 10 reference to the.
fortunes which the dancing teachers
are accommodating these days. a
He argues that the races that have
possessed the gift OF rhythmic move.
ment, in large numbers, have survived
those which lacked this gift, and adj
mits that for large numbers of men
and women to be able to dance long
and rhythmieally is evidence of q,
high sociaIized state of society. The
French are the best dancers in the
world, and the most politely civilized
London and Paris society papers
seem obsessed with tango teas,
