heavy sleet broke an overhead wire
leading to the plant of the Washing
ton Steel and Ordnance Company,

The Science of the Dance

O'Hanlon and Zambouni, whose
dancing is one of the big features
of Monte Cristo, jr.," have evolved
a plan of their own to perpetuate
their ideas about their art
In the very near future, perhaps
next spring, my husband and I are
going to open our dancing school
in New York City" said Miss Kath-
1een O'Hanlon. Il am delighted with
the prospect"
Yes" assented Theo Zambouni,
the 1.-THE and slender husband Of the
dainty dancing doll, "in all the years
we have been before the public, we
have worked out a whole philosophy
of science and dance, and we want
to let little children who expect to
make the stage and dancing their
careers have the benefit of it The
trouble is that you cannot teach
grown-ups the things they most
ought to know.
Children are different. We in
tend to begin by teaching them the
fundamentals, such as the proper
positions Of the feet. arms and body.
Then comes q long training In
rhythm alone, and after the ground
work has been mastered, social
dancing will follow.
SO many dancers are self-con-
scious. And that is one thing that a
dancer cannot afford to be. When
the child Is to be taught how to use
arms and feet, he or she will enter
the ballroom with unconscious grace
and still more important, know
how to act once in a ballroom.
Science plays a large part in all
this. without science, the dancer
does not know how to breathe, and
will pun and pant after strenuous
acrobatic dancing. But the dancer
can so master breath control that
there need be no fear of being
winded, Just as the singer must
learn to control his breath"
