The Turkey Trot Came From the

Exclusive Social Parentage.

Tossing that 1 have never been able

Walter Sweeneys is in existence no
longer. Mr.. Sweeney got into a dis
pute with the son of a millionaire phil
anthropist one evening, and not only
said but did several unkind things.
Later Mr.. Sweeney went to Black
wells Island for several months, and
following his enforced Incarceration,

in Walter Sweeney's, which was
Bowery dance hall. l saw the Turkey
Trot in all its glory years before it
ever became the rage in society, or
at the lobster palaces of Broadway.

York, but in gay establishments on
the Barbary Coast of San Francisco.
II naturally followed that New York
should soon adopt the dances of the
Barbary Coast.
The old Bowery dance halls, such
as the Chatham club. which once was
a mecca for the hangers-on of China
town and Chatham square, did not
produce the Turkey Trot, the Bunny
Huss the Grizzly Bear, etc, until
much later The Bowery used to
have a dance all it's own-a sort OF
perversion of the waltz. The Bowery
dances it no longer 1t is the Tango,
the One-Step, the Texas Tommy, the
Frisco Rag, and the Grapevine that
interest the Bowery today. just as
they have interested and still do in
terest Broadway and Fifth avenue.
Mostly From the Underworld.
From the gay resorts came most of
the original "trots" Later society
pureed them of some of their SEN
suality and invented new "trots' But
whether the Bowery. or the Barbary
Coast, or Broadway, or Fifth Aven-
ne, danced them, they have been the
unceasing subject of attack by press
and pulpit and other sources too
numerous to be mentioned. Even the
kaiser forbade the Tango, and the
Vatican put the ban on it.
Some of the remarkable dances of
today first came into existence in so
ciety circles. The Horse TIot, for
example, was introduced at a ball Civ
en- by Hamilton Fish, Jr, at the Cop
ley Plaza, in Boston. 1t made an in
Simultaneous hit. and soon was the
rage at Newport, LenoX, and other
Fashionable summerinS places. 1t
was danced in the best social circles
of New York, Chicago, Washington,
Boston, and Philadelphia AS it con-
sisted of a series of high steps it was
not easy for woman wearing
tight skirt to dance, and that, l be
lieve, is largely responsible for its
going out of favor as rapidly as 1t
became popular.

Is devoid of reason he can be made
10 sce that while conditioning him
self he should go in for stunts that
would be Of practical use in other
directions.
For instance. suppose that if in
stead Of hitting up the road and
s1rinkIinE little perspiration along
the pike, the boxer take off weight
guiding the handles of pillow for
niles as Woleast did. or covered
distance similar to what he traversed
along the highway, sowing grain.
Surprising instead of that insipii,
feminine practice of skipping the rope
he had a treadmi1l fixed so that he
could. by virtue of his footwork,
grind coffee or pump water.
Surprising that instead of tossing
the medicine ball he loaded grain onto
trucks or flat cars. and supposinG in
stead of whiskins his arms around
playing handball he swung an AK and
chopped wood.
Then. instead of the stale old in
formation peddled to the public daily
about the miles of road work and the
bag punching. we would learn that
champion So-ald-So 'hSdSed III d ""
riety of occupations of highly use

Put, where would the new order of

ask It isn't every boxer that owns

That's just where it is and that's
just why a proposal of this kind, un-
der existing conditions. appears as
unstable as a poets dream.
But, supposing the boxing game
were properly organized and legalized'
and supposing every burg and its Box

The Tango was invented BY Argsn-

Tango combined with the Turkey Trct
and Bunny Hug. 1t was popular for
a time, but was soon forgotten. At
a convention of the dancing masters
of western Pennsylvania and Ohio
it was declared the successor of the
Tango. 1t was just trifle less SER
sual than most of the other freak
dances that have followed in the trail
of the Turkey Trot craze.
Little has been heard in Ameri a
of the "Valse Chaloupe." originated by
the art students of the Latin quarter
of Paris and danced at Montmatre. It
is extremely lively, and even out tan
goes the Tango. 1t amounts to moth
ing more, however, than a variation
of the Tango, of which there are
many, including the Luncheon Lurch,

away with the Tango and the un-

different from the real Argentine
