DANCER pLEASES FOKINE.

A new dancing personality has come
to the fore with Mecca" at the Cen
fury Theatre in the young woman who
leads the Fokine ballet Her name is
Miss Martha Lorber. F. Ray Comstock
and Morris Gest, in return for her ster-
ling performances, have just placed her
on three years contract to be the
principal dancer of their new produc-
tons.
Miss Lorber has been selected by
Michel Fokine as the best of the Amer
lean girls who have come under his OBJ
servation for training. He says that
Miss Lorber shall have the benefit of
his especial tuition this winter, and that
he hopes she may equal the accom-
plishments of his best known pupil
Pavlowa.
Miss Lorber, a comely and slender
young girl. who was 10 years old on last
June IL, was born In Brooklyn. Her
father is a retired business man. When
16 years old she made her stage debut
in the ballet of 1.-THE Wanderer'' in
February, 1917. When Ekaterina GAL
lanta, the principal dancer in tho bal
let. suddenly departed for South Amer
lea Mr.. Gest placed Miss Lorber In the
role Of the principal dancer OF 1.-THE
Wanderer." A year later she became
the principal dancer of 'tChu Chin
Chow" also on tour. After Fokine had
accepted her for mecca" he taught her
the difficult steps of the Bacchanale.
Now Fokine declares that of all the
girls he has seen in this country Mar
tina Lorber looks to him the best bet''
for developing a great American
dancer.
Miss Lorber recently has had about
two dozen offers from vaudeville and
other managers, but she has refused
them all. II will stay with Mecca"
she says. "Mr. Gest gave me my
chance, and there is no instructor like
Fokine.

Dear Miss Grey; I am n senior !
high school. and intend. when III
iah this courne, 20 take up msdicin
a nd surgery. The other evening
got into a heated argument wit
some Of my boy class mates on ~
subject Of women physicianA l coul
not make them admit that there wer
any women doctors who were nj
l would like 90 have you print som
thing In favor Of women physician
and obiiRs.
A FUTURE WOMAN MEDIC.
A succinct summary OF the
progress OF tho woman physician
was made at a recent banquet
Of the womenis State Medical
society, New York. IL was etab-
iished that one third Of the 5000
women physicians IN tho United
States registered for war relief
work.
Military commissions have
been conferred by United States
government upon a number OF
women physicians working In
France. where they have been
decorated by English. French
Greek and Serbian governments.
Requests that hospitals be staff.
ed exclusively by American
women physicians for war relief
work. have been made by both
Serbian and French govern
mentn. and have been granted.
At the present time. the sum-
mary stated. women are admitted
on the same terms as men. In
more than 40 oo-cducationai med.
teal colleges IN the United States,
including Columbia, Yale and
Harvard. Taking New York as
an example. there are women on
the staffn OF at least five large
hospitals in the city: many
women ara on the New York
board OF health and on the fac
ulty OF many co-educationai
schools. such as the New York
Post Graduate. Cornell. Columbia
and Harvard
And II you care 10 go still fur
Their into the argument, you can
obtain much interesting data on
the progress fnsde by our women
physicians In this city, aside
from the fact that several Of
them went 10 France and
rendered invaluable service there.
