women in Paris took lessons from him
and from various other dancing mas
tiers who rapidly sprang up, and when
they returned to New York introduced
the dance at Martins and started the
fashion of the cabaret in America The
cabaret being a form Of entertainment
where people were allowed to have
supper and dance and were at intervals
shown ali the new steps by profess
sionaI dancers.
FL PasO Girl on the Stage.
Many cabarets were started and the
professional dancers made so much
money that other people entered the
field in New York, chief among them
being Joan Sawyer. She was an Ell
Paso girl, born here, but left at the
age Of two years. She finally drifted
to New York and studied for operatfc
ballet but gave that up to go in the
chorus of musical shows.
Maurice had been dancing at Mar
tins with a little French girl called
Madeleine, whom he had brought over
with him, but one night without any
warning she elOped and married an
Englishman, and Maurice had no
partner to dance with. Joan SAWYER
was broke but she knew that She
could dance and heard of the French
girls detection, so. that night with
some friends she went to Martins and
arranged it so that Maurice should in

Joan SaWyer's Rise.s
But she was ambitious and decided
that she would start for herself.
There was a restaurant near Column
bus Circle, called Reisen Webber's. 1t
had four floors, the lower two floors
given Up to restaurants and the m
per floors to dinners for organizations
and private dances. It was frequented
by better class Germans. Reisen
Weber saw the business opportunity,
so he made a contract with Joan
Sawyer. She looked around for a
partner and discovered Lew Quinn.
who had been prize roller skater and
instructor and from that work had
acquired poise, balance and rvthrn.
She rehearsed him for six weeks and
they then went to Reisen Webber's.
They danced each night after the the

this floor was only gained by a card
Of invitation from the management
This made it very select and all New

About Ell Pasoans

Miss Virginia Bean, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Y. l. Bean, of this city,
is the author of an interesting story,
Love and Juarez," which is in the
January number of the Santa Fe
Trail magazine. 1t is a love story Of
two Americans who went over into
Mexico and got mixed up in a big fight
and separated from their friends. The
story is both accurate and timely.
Miss Bean is an accomplished violin
list and has proved her versatility in
not only being able to play the vio-
lin with unusual ability, but in writ
ing equally well. The magazine has
the following to say accompanying

of her discovery in the field of lit
erature."

new steps, and Immediately upon their
appearance they gained wide popular
tty and the Castle walk which thew
originated, is known from coast to
By this time all Of New York was
dancing mad, and the craze had spread
to the far parts Of the country 1t had
become a habit at society dances for
some one man and woman whose steps
suited one another perfectly, to dance
practically the whole evening together.
and this produced some very expert
ball room dancers who started invent
ing new steps of their own. The con-
sequence is that the tango as danced
today in the ball rooms of this conn
try would not be recognized BY an
Argentine; all that is left is the time
Of the music and a certain rythm
The Spread of egThe Rag.o
Coincident with the tango the rag"
as it was called, had spread from the
Barbary coast of san Francesca
through the United States and had
Deen pOpular1zed in France, ENGLAND
and Germany by travelling Americans.
In its first form the rag as it came
from San Francisco was not a grace
full nor a refined dance There was
too much hip swing and shoulder
httch1ng. This was very soon realized
and the dance was changed to befit
ball room, until now it is danced
with no swing of the body, no bending
of the knee, but with a straight glide
forward and turn, and is called the
one step.
A great many Of the tango stems
have been adapted to the one step
music, and a one step can now be
danced with endless variations in
steps This new dance required special
music, but people seemed to keen their
love for the music of the old sWayiDey
waltz. However, it was not amusing
after doing all the new steps in the
other dances to simply do an old
fashioned waltz with four or five
turns one way and reverse, so the
professional dancers of the cabarets.
and society enthusiasts began to Dut
new life and steps into the old waltz.
and from this the hesitation walt
was developed.
Personality Gets a Chance.
The secret of the popularity of the
new dances is that it gives everybody
an opportunity to interpret personal
ity in their steps and to Originate and
Invent new steps of their own. These
dances, too, have really exercised a
great influence for good. Where in
the old days, dances bored the men
and they would rather stay around
their club and drink than attend one
now they are enthusiastic and if is
certainly better fo= them to be in the
society of refined women and engaged !
in the innocent and healthy pastime
Of dancing Then, too, the older people
have got the fever and if affords /
them healthy exercise which thew
would not get otherwise, and probably I
adds years to the lives of the most /
enthusiastic among them.
