LONDON-"Dancing is as old as
humanity itself, as old as tears and
laughter, the natural rhythmical ex-
preston OF human emotion and OF the
JOY Of life" said the Dean OF Man
chester. Dancing is not merely a
product and feature OF town lifc. 1t
is remarkable that Scottish Puritan
ism. even in its severest days, has
never suppressed dancing in the High
land glens. Today in districts OF the
Highlands, where the old strict OBJ
servance of the Sabbath survives.
dancing is the most popular social
recreation, and lads and lasses. who
TO the townsman might appear heavy
and dull, as soon as the fiddle strikes
up suffer a change and appear alert
and graceful. In our great industrial
towns dancing has never been more
popular or more universal. II seems
to provide a natural outlet from the
drabness Of surroundings and the
mono,ony Of modern industrial pro-
cesses.
Girls especially seem to feel an ab-
solute necessity for some outlet for
their physical energy. Even after
long hours in a factory. though men
tally tired, they will still dance. In
the absence OF male companions they
dance freely and readily among them
selves:
tnprofaned by grasp of man.
Maidens speed their simple orgies;
Mary Jane with Mary Ann.
Many girls go wrong because they
are not provided with some whole
some outlet for this physical energy.
They come out from the factory long
ing for some fun Some one sus.
gess drink, and the descent is easy.
TO girls and men of the working
class dancing is, as a rule, a far more
solemn and stately proceeding than il
IS TO their richer brothers and sisters.
No doubt there arc undesirable dane
ing halls where the bunny hug and
the dip are unduly prominent, but
,hi, is by no means necessary part
OF the Joy of dancing for them.
TO the majority dancing is an art,
and they have retained many of the
stately measures of our forefathers.
which have entirely disappeared from
the modern society ballroom. Many
varieties OF step dancing arc praeticed
instead Of the perpetual Boston and
waltz. An N. c. who takes his posi-
ton very seriously rules the proceed
ing with a firm hand, aud all obey
him implicitly.

THE BIRD OF PARADISE"
Opens It's Third Engagement At
MaCauleys For Week Commenc-
ing Mar. oath.

Theatergoers will find more than
passing interest in Richard Walton
Tully's charming play, The Bird of
Paradise, which opens its third en-
gagement at MaCauleys, Louisville,
for the week commencing March gath.
The play touches a virgin field so
far as the stage world is concerned,
that preserves in dramatic forms the
vanishing customs, beliefs and
legends of Uncle Sans far-off pos
sessions. 1t shows Hawaii, with its
shores girdled by lazy waves on Ian
guouorous moonlight; its native
homes with its laughing and dancing
maidens casting eyes of witchery at
white strangers.
Against this background of unique
beauty is lived, rather than acted, a
powerful story of two men and two
women. One with the sensuous charm
of a young Hawaiin maiden, vows
that she will WOO and keep her hus-
band "by the power of her lips and
arms" The other, an American girl,
says: 81 will keep and hold him by
the power of the mind" The girls
live, love and pay the price for their
mistake. They seek each other when
they fail to acknowledge defeat. II
was wrong" says the American girl.
my way has failed. Teach me your
way to win and keep a mans love"
This is the knowledge that every
woman desires to learn beyond all
earthly things, and the famous Tully
play offers the solution to the prob
lem. In the play the American abroad
both as trader and as missionary, is
accurately described in his prevailing
instinct for money-making, receiving
a touch of gentle bit certain satire
from Mr.. Tully's pen.
During the life of the drama, sew
eral sterling actresses have played the
role of the Hawaiian Princess. Man
ager Morosco will offer Florence
Rockwell talented and we'll known
actress in the title role. She is assist
ed by John Waller in the role of the
Beachcomer, Spring Byington as
Diana, the American girl; George
Leffingwell as Paul Wilson; Albert
Andruss, as Captain Hatch, and Rose
Watson as Mahumahu. The singing
of the native melodies by quintette
of Hawaiian boys is one of the at
tractive features of this delightful
performance
