Chicago, June 9.-Fhey might do it

into the convention hall on stretcher;
they might do it by escorting William

asking him to smile; they might do
it by presenting Charles Evans Hughes

They've got to inject a salt solution

A M u S E NJ E N L S
Famous Russian Ballet Dancer N
SaIome Dance, "a Modern Salome."

One of the many interesting cpl

Hope Hampton makes her screen de-
hut. and which is distributed through
Metro, appearing at the Isis theatre
tomorrow represents the court or King
Herod of ancient times. 1t is the incl
dent where the notorious Salome does
her famous Dance of Enchantment,
at the end of which the monarch offers
her whatever she desires as gift
and she asks for the head of John
the Baptist.
This story, narrated in the scrip
lures. inspired the dramatic poem OF
'aSalome." by Oscar Wilde and the
opera by Richard Strauss. Recollec-
tions Of the way this famous dance
has been performed by various artistes
is woven into the plot of the picture
through a hallIcination suffered by
the heroine, in which she imagines
herself to be the famous Saiome of
old. 1t is in this incident that she
performs the Dance of Enchantment.
Theodore Kosloff, the famous Rus
sian ballot dancer, whose work has
been seen on the stage and on the
screen, was in charge of the ballet
which supported the star in this dance,
and in fact staged the entire episode.
When rehearsing the ballet, Kosloff
commenced to instruct Miss Hampton
in the steps she should do for the
number, but was so struck by her
natural grace that he asked her to go
through the dance as she conceived it
without any suggestions from him.
Miss Hampton ran through series
of steps and movements, and Kosloff
Immediately decided that she needed
no further instruction from him, but
assembled his supporting ballet and
told Director Leonce Perret to shoot
the scene, since the star was all ready
for it.
Bearing in mind the fact that Hope
Hampton has never had any terpsi-
ehorean training. and that she has
never seen anybody else perform this
dance, the fact that the young star
won such high praise from an artist
like Kosloff is regarded as worthy OF
note.
Hope Hampton Productions. Inc,
made "A Modern 'Salome,' which is a
lavish and spectacular drama. Wynd-
ham and Percy Standing are prom1-

scenario, suggested by Wilde's poem,
and directed the picture.

FULLERTON'S
SPRING DOPE
By HUGH s. FULLERTON

There go the chances of several
otherwise perfectly laudable ball clubs
to win the championship of the spring
dope. The figures on the American
League pitching strength not only fail
to show a big gain of strength such
as has been claimed and advertised
by some of the clubs but appear to
strengthen Cleveland's claim to su-
periority.
The lead of Cleveland over the Yam
KEGS, the next most formidable club
in pitching strength, is much greater
than L anticipated and, study the Of
ficial averages of the men as one will,
it is impossible to figure the much
heralded strength of the Yank pitch
ing corps, as compared with that of
Cleveland.
The tremendous surprise to me lies
in finding the st. Louis Browns rank
ing third in pitching strength, and
rather comfortably ahead of the
champion White Sox who have lost
caste and strength to a great degree
In fact, comparison of the pitching
strength of the White Sox, with their
dope strength year ago, shows a
loss of twenty-five points on the sec
ond doping Gust prior to the opening
of the 1919 season. although a gain
of several points over the compare
tive figures three weeks before the
opening of the season.
