KaIen1's Dancing Lessons
In Great Deman


And now come the motion picture
dancing lessons.
The possibility Of the moving picture
film IN the role of instructor having be-
come an established fact, a step in ad-
vance Of anything as yet attempted was
recently made, and the result Is the
kalem Motion Picture Dancing Lessons.
That dancing. an art which requires
either instructive ability-or, lacking that,
personal instructiOn-can be taught by
motion pictures, may at first strike the
average person as an impOssibility. But
the fact remains that in the Motion Pic
ture Dancing Lessons dancing IS taught,
and taught fully as effectively as though
the persons Witnessing a performance
Of the picture were actually attending
dancing school.
The dances taught in the Kalem pro-
duction are the Tango, the Turkey Trot
and the Viennese Hesitation Waltz.
Properly danced, the three dances named
are the most beautiful and graceful Of
the day.
Two dancing teachers who have an
enormous popularity in New York were
selected to pose for the pictures. They
are Mr. Wallace McCutcheon and Miss
Joan Sawyer. This couple appeared at
the New York Theatre Roof Garden
last summer and were the seasons sen
satiOn- incidentally, Mr.. McCutcheOn
and Miss Sawyer are dancing insruc-
tors to the famous -Four Hundred"
In planning the motion picture dancing
lessons il was realized that the pictures
would lose all value unless the lessons
were made sufficiently clear TO be grasped
Immediately by persons who have never
learned to dance, and by others who,
although fair dancers, do not dance cor
refflv and gracefully
It was also decided to show the DIFF
ference between dancing of the ordinary
variety and dancing as performed and
taught by Mr. McCutcheOn and his part
ner, Miss Sawyer. This scene was
staged in one Of New YOrk's most
prominent cabarets.
The lessons, according to the pictures,
are given In Mr.. AIcCUtcheon's studio
A pupil being taught IN the picture
makes an occasional error, consequently
the lesson seems all the more real to the
observer. Then Mr.. McCutcheon goes
over the step he is teaching until Il Is
perfectly clear
Although but recently released, the
Motion Picture Dancing Lessons have
already attained tremendous popularity.
The word has spread as to the simplicity
Of these lessons, and wall flowers,
who have spent many an evening at
dances with never a partner, are seizing
the opportunity to place themselves on
an equal footing with their more for
tunate friends who are graceful dancers.

the Essauay Company uses a rejection

years has the Black Hills experienced

anything from budding out, saved any

The railroads and the Western Union

losers.
Both the Burlington and Northwest
