Sixteenth Wife" Studies Famous
American Dancers.

"Mv new role in "The Sixteenth
Wife" that of an American girl sue
cessful abroad as a classic dancer, is
of unusual interest to me, since
have always been an enthusiastic stu
dent of dancing.
"The modern dance owes practical
ly everything to American girls, al
though few of their countrymen real
ize it. Consider Isadora Duncan,
Ruth St. Denis, Maud Allen and Lois
Fuller, all good Americans True,
they were unappreciated in this coun-
try until they went abroad Miss
Fuller belongs to the earlier days of
the dance. She created the serpen-
tine and fire dances, which electri-
fed Paris and later swept around the
world. Miss Duncan's dances of ma
ture have revolutionized the whole
art dancing. Miss St. Denis stands
quite alone as an interpretative and
| impressionistiC terpsiChorean artist.
Miss Aliens success in London as
Salome was phenomenal. Whatever
| its sensational qualities, it served to
introduce the beauties of the classic
dance to people who would otherwise
never have been reached.
/ "Curiously the classic dancer, tAe
barefoot, scantily clad artist who
/ seems to have stepped from a Grecian
vase, is looked upon by the average
citizen of the United States as an
Outgrowth of the exotic art centers
i of the content. We must not for
get that Duncan, St. Denis, Allen and
Fuller were all Americans. Right now
Miss St Denis maintains a dancing
colony in the outskirts of Los An
geles, where shs is teaching young
America the art of the dance in the
shade of olive trees. My one ambi-
tion is to give Americans a sense of
the aesthetic Miss ST, Denis has told
me.
You can understand my interest in
playing an American dancer in the
films. l hope it will go a little way
towards awakening Americans to an
appreciation of their young women
who have practically recreated the
art of the dance"
