THE LIoNEss SKIRT DANCE AND

The conventional skirt dance has
long ceased to be a novelty on the
vaudeville stage. but as 1t is per-
formed by La Belle Selica" in the
arena at the amusement park It holds
the interest of that most exacting
audience-a crowd of Coney island

who were maddened by the sight
and smell Of blood and to rescue the
unconscious woman from the cage.
They have never forgotten that mo-
ment of rebellion which was SO near
ly successful. and they are ever watch
ful for another opportunity to avenge
the many cuts of the training whip
which they received in the course Of
their schooling. But Selica Is also
watchful, and although Grace had lat

the way, the wonderful sixth sense
which experienced trainers always &C

Ancient stage to Be Used.

A more than usually interesting drar
matte revival is announced for April
16, when the "Agamemnon" of Aes-
chylus will be performed in the an
cient Greek theater of Syracuse.
Nearly "a centuries have passed
since Hero I embellished his city with
the theater which tradition attributes
to the architect Democopor Myrilla.
Aeschylus must have taken refuge
in the court of Hero very soon after
its completion, and 1t may be conjec-
tured that the great trilogy, which be-
gan with the "Agamemnon," was
often performed on its stage; 1t Is
known that the "Persae" was per
formed there and work written for
Hero by Aeschylus. entitled the "Et'
neae," Of which no trace remains
