Ruth ST. Denis.

One of the most important Of the sea

Denis, the worid-famous dsnse artistic
who viii appear at Polls Monday

large company of assisting solo dancers,
headed by Ted shawn, Americas fore
most danseur cisssique, corps Of beau
tiful GrecIan ballet dancers and sntive
Hindoo assistants. Miss St Denis roper
toire will include besides her Oriental.
Javanese and Egyptian dances, many d.
vertissements Of Greek. character and
newest modern dances. all elaborately
staged and costumed in the same man
ner that has always made her produc-
tons so perfect in point of costuming
and correct settings.
Although Miss St Denis repertoire will
embrace almost every variety Of dancing,
she will still feature her Oriental num-
bers, for II Is in the Indian that she is
and always has been recognized as the
superior of all the barefoot dancers. In
this speciality she gives rhythmic art pro-
ductions as no other artist. for in these
dances she brings into. full effect those
wonderful arms that are so marvellous
and expressive in depicting her dance
dramas of the Orient. Reviewers have
written columns trying to describe these
arms that move with such snske-like
motion that they appear uncanny and
seem to have life independent of the
dancer.
