T ADY CONSTANCE STEWART
RICHARDSON, most startling
and unconventional OF aristo-
Gratis. has Just startled London with
a new dan,
Lady Constance is giving the
British public a new Interpretation
OF The Greek Faun," together with
most extensive vista of the I'M
draped shapely limbs for which she
is widely celebrated
Can this be the mysterious dance
that caused New York society to
drop Lady Constance and caused
Lady Constance to condemn New
York society in terms that were
something more than sarcastic?
Whether society found Lady Con-
stance too ridiculous OF too shock
Ing is somewhat uncertain. II IL
certain that after giving one of her
dances at 1.-The Friday Evening
Club" an organization of the bright.
est social lights In New York, she
left abruptly.
The Club met last Winter on Fri.
day evenings in the Della Robbia
room, at the Hotel Vanderbilt. Such
leaders OF society as Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt. Jr., Mrs Ogden L. Mills
and Mrs Leonard NJ. Thomas we're
members.
Ruror says that one or more mem.
bers Uttered audibly at the sight of
Lady Constance doing a bare.footed
classical dance, whereat she said
"Unappreciative Philistines" or
Pigs" OF words to that effect,
turned her back on the club and in.
dignantly departed.
Those who had been present said
afterwards that they ought rot TO
talk about 1t. and then some of them
said that il was really too ridicul-
GUS" and others said that that sort
OF thing isn't suitable for social
affair"
So 1t looks as il Lady Constance
had given society a more than COM
mon surprise. doesn't it?
The performance which Lady Con-
stance is now giving at the Empire
Music Hall in London is Greek
ballad dance called THE Wilder
ness" with words by Surge Moore,
and music by Gustave Ferrari. Lady
Constance takes the part of the prin-
CT L faun. That OF the God Pan Is
ASS ned by Chief Kagbawgan, an
+ Indian gentleman with sympathy
for fauns.
The piece was evidently inspired
+ by Lady Constance, for she has for
come years said that we should live
sd dress as much like Greek fauns
Richmond times-dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1914-current, 1915-05-30

as possible. On the programme are
some little notes on the habits Of
fauns. which are interesting:
THE idea Of The Wilderness Is to
revive the Greek ballad dance-using
voices as extra instruments in the
orchestration One Of the most inter
esting types in Greek mythology, the
fauns, man-like in form, but with all
the instincts Of the animal, have
hitherto had but one side OF their
disposition displayed on the stage
In The Wilderness their
many other entertaining traits will
be revealed-they will appear in turn
suspicious, fearful, playful, irrespon-
sible in their gaitev, passionate and
cruel-traits which the interpreters
have studied from the Greek anti
ques"
Lady Constance as faun wears
a little drapery around her waist and
a little less about her shoulders. Her
well-developed. unspoiled feet and
lower limbs are bare and so are her
equally we'll developed arms
Her dances symbolic and portray
wildly the simple emotions OF the
faun-joy, anger, pleasure. love-
That member of ducal family
should be giving such an exhibition
at London music hall has caused
tremendous shock in Great Britain.
The picturesque dancer is the
daughter Of the late Earl of Gro
martie and the granddaughter of a
former Duke and Duchess of Suth-
erland. This duchess was an es-
pecial friend OF Queen Victoria, and
this fact has made Lady Constance's
plunge into barefoot dancing all the
more striking.

the faun's dance.
