 Making "mucks" from a caribou

 And he heard not the whistles

 sorrow and fears He had dreamed of a girl Outside Both early and late he h@d strug-
 gled with fate,
 Til the manhood within him had
 died, He had cursed the day that took
 him away,
 The day that he said goodbye, When the lure of the gold pregnated

That Defy the Heat.

THE PASSING SHOW OF 1914" is
easily the best extravaganza ever seen
al the Winter Garden. For an exhibit
ton of this kind the Mcssrs. Shubcrt
have fairly outdone themselves. The
music, too. is Of higher character Of
tunefulness than usual, without losing
any of its popularity, and the illusion
of the airships passing over an ocean,
as well as the effect achieved with the
chorus running up inclined planes
against curtaincd background. Is
worthy Of attention as "A modern stag"

Goncd the odor element in making up
her new dance, but utilizes color audi
ton, the psychology of lights and the
general telescoping of one sense into
another. To make her ideal PLAIN.
she quotes such everyday phrases as
feeling blue" dark brown taste
green with envy" and the like, to
show how every one at some time or
another associates color with emo
ton.
In her Investigations she found that
proper names carry color associations
with them in the minds of many peo-
pie. Sarah Bernhard is purple,
FRITZ Scheff cerise, Eddie Foy ochre,
Maude Adams Quaker gray, Billie
Burke pink and Belle Baker crimson.
Jack Johnson, however, is invariably
black.
Miss Sawyer says that she is work
ing with feverish intensity upon the
new dance that is TO be the quntes-
sence of modernity and which will
play upon the nerves like a bow upon
fiddle strings. She aims at a dance
blended with lights and colors that
will tease prettily and eXasperate the
senses to pleasing frenzy. The
dance has reached point at which 1t
must go sharply forward or distinctly
back. 1t cannot be allowed to become
stereotyped. Miss Sawyer quotes ThcO-
dore de Banville:
81 have found crimson words to
paint the colors of the rose. Per-
fumes. colors and sounds are inter
related There are perfumes fresh as
the flesh of babes, sweet as oboes and
as green as the prairies."

II does not follow that everything

more than il follows that everything

York. But We no more bar thing

when those feelings arc justified, ITS

"The violin is ultramarlne blue,
said the first violin in the orchestra,
and half dozen of his fellow players

clarinet yellow, the horn Tyrian purple,

to the drum, violet argument ragged,

Arc you a observation-disclosures?
That was the heavy, corrugated
question hurled at Joan Sawyer by the
director Of the Palace Theatre last
week
Miss Sawyer's head went back at the
impact, but she recovered quickly and
parted with: "The jury is still out
al am speaking scientifically he
continued. an the search for novelty
in the theatre we are crossing the
frontiers Of the conventional and con
fusing the arts in the desire to create
something new. One who considers
tones in terms Of color, and colors IN
terms Of harmony, or who sees hues
and hears melodies in odOrs is blend
ing the senses and is a pseudochrOmes-
thesiast
"All this leads up TO the fact that |
want YOU 10 create n new dance that
will represent an art for every sense
and the art of all the senses merged
into a single grand art. You have all
the tremendous resources of the Pal
acc Theatre at your disposal. Do not
consider cost, but create new art

THAT is perfectly wonderful con-
tract" said Miss Sawyer, "and ! only
hope that ] will be clever enough TO

The young dancer, we learn. is hard
at work upon the dance that will blend
color, scent and sound, but she finds
finty obstacles in her path in the fact
that observation-disclosures do not
agree in hardly any particular. Take
the color Of musical instruments, for
instance.
