Tigress and Woman Alike
They Make Love the Same Way ana
Punish in the same Man

by Margaret Hubbard Aye
A IL DANCES were originally

- a Ii DANCES were originally
n love dances. The animals
\ even gambol in spring as
| they WOO their mates But Of all the
animals it is the tigress who is most
human in her love making"
Little Nile. La Gal, the French dancer
who is at Proctor's Fifth avenue thea
ter in the sensational Tigress dance,
paused during a morning practice hour
I to explain how she had come to orlgl-
nate this extraordinary feat of pantO-
mime and dance. combining the passion
OF the jungle beast with the finest ana
most artistic dancing.
Il have spent days at the New York
zoo and at the Jardln deS PlanLeS IN
Paris watching the jungle beasts when
I was creating my Jigress pance- A
I type of woman, and a very modern
woman she is, too, is closely related 10
the Uigress.
The tigress does her own wOoinG as
the modern woman does. She asks her
; self Whom shall I choose for q nus
band" as the woman does, and when
she has settled on her prey she
smoothes and dresses her body as any
woman does who starts on what 1 call
the husband parade
Like Bernard Shaw's idea OF the
modern woman, the tgress is the pur-
suer while making him believe that

q willing slave, but sooner or later
boredom attacks her as il does the
woman. and some day and over some
trivial thing they quarrel Then she
bides her time. and at last she will
sink her mighty teeth deep into the
neck of her taWny lover He dies, but
she walks heartily away seeking new
prey
And you say she is a modern typec'
e say she is eternal Most women
! have a touch of the tigress in their
ma keup. and even the most deCOrOus
and quiet female often envies the
JiSress her freedom and her jungle.
While 7 like tigers. 1 can't say that
z am devoted to cats. They are nice
little beasts, but they lack the gran
deur Of the jungle animal, and they
are unreliable in their ways.

You Americans love dancing be-

joyous sensation of life and action. It
