opinion as to the propriety of the
Hesitation waltz. the Maxixe or the
Tango as ballroom dances, but there
never has ben trio OF dances so well
adapted for the Stage.
Among the foremost ultra modern
dancers in New York were William
Pruette, Jr., and Lillian Ludlow. They
were not only sought after by the
atrical managers. but were frequently
TO be found ut the private entertain
ments given by the -Four Hundred"
and their appearance at Newport and
on Fifth avenue was common.
More because OF personal than bust
ness reasons 1t became possible for the
management of The Red Widow" to
secure them for the present tour of
the Claiming Pollock Rennold Wolf
Charles Gebest musical comedy which
will be seen here at the Academy We'd
nesday, matinee and night.
In the third act Of this piece they
will be seen in all three OF these just
ly famous dances and executed as they
do them, even the most prudish will
be compelled to acknowledge that sell
dom, II ever before. has there been
more picturesque or graceful dancing
on the stage.

MANY RESOLUTIONS
KILLED BY HOUSE

Mr.. Montague very ably defended
the measure which he said was pre-
pared by the Bankers association. He
took each amendment and explained
ii fully. but the house did not seem to
deem 1t wise To accept any of those
affecting the main points OF the bill
and from the talk of the Hobbies. the
bill will not pass. This was also in
dictated by the votes taken yesterday
on certain sections of the measure.
The senate for the first time held
an afternoon session yesterday meet.
ing at o'clock and adjourning at
$50 o'clock The calendar was
cleared of many local bills by ths.
upper branch at both the morning
and afternoon session. The house,
however. confined its efforts to the
killing of resolutions, the principlo
arst. t,f w4tir.ti-was- the resolution pro-
viding for q committee to study tho
question Of workingman's compensa-
ton This resolution provided for the

sort. If they saw fit to draft bill to-
