Art i'm Classical Dancing
Cannot Be Borrowed From
Teachers, She Warns Girls

Punch and Judy might have become
great dancers had the gentleman who
manipulated their joints through a hole
in their dummy frames been able to
work his fingers fast enough. But who
would care to see q dummy dance?
There you have the idea that Mar
garet Severn, who is to dance in the
Greenwich Village Follies OF 1920
would impart to those thousands of
young women who in recent months
have thrown aside knitting bags and
golf clubs to take up the more artistic
pastme Of the creative dance.
The person who leaps from spot to
spot, counts one-two- three four to the
direction Of his dancing MASTER" she
says, land doesn't put a little Of his
own Imagination into the matter, will
become no greater than his teacher
And that spells doom. We must sur
pass our Instructors"
A thorough course in her art at the
British Normal School of Dancing and
in America under Ruth ST. Denis, has
not caused this young woman to believe
she has reached the zenith of her abi-
ty.
"Nor should any girl be satisfied"
she adds, "to reach the goal set by
her instructors.
"Thse who prefer to be ballet dancers
usually enter a school and spend years
learning to be mere dancinr automa-
tons. In their efforts to master the
various steps and in their close attcn-
ton to the rigorous routine of the
classes they completely neglect the
creative sides of their natures. They
do what they are told to do, and that
is all. They never think an original
thought or make movement outside
Of what is considered correct by the
ballet master. And. IN the end they
become wooden dclle--they stand in
q perfect fifth position, to be sure, but
their work lacks meaning and is in
human.
"The interpretive dancer, when really
sincere, is likely to be more of an ar
fist; but, alas, how frequently are her
poses marred by lack of balance! How
often she attempts a step that she cam
not do! How she is constantly bound
and hindered by body whose move
ments she cannot properly control
The training given by an expert ballet
master is invaluable if it is combined
with intelligent thought on the part of
the pupil. She must learn to think
about what she is doing. She must see
the relation between dancing and the
rest of life. Very few who are studying
ever think of that. And, aside from
her work with the master she must
spend hours alone listening to music
and dancing according to the mood that
it inspires in her. She must learn to
cast aside at will all of the masters

rules and do entirely as she pleases.
Only in this way will she give her
imagination freedom to express itself in
original movement. But when she is in
the classroom she must be able to con-
centrate upon what she is doing with
her fullest intensity, for after certain
muscles are once developed, technique
becomes almost entirely matter of the
mind. The pupil must work for CO.
ordination more than anything else.
Her body must become the absolute
slave of her mind. Her lightest thought
must be instantly expressed in move
ment. She must work for delicacy and
subtlety Of expression as we'll as for
dramatic strength and power"
he dancer advises others to study
character and folk dancing with their
masters mast, and also to perfect their ballet
The girl who is studying to dance
should work on lyrical compositions.
dramatic compositions and on symbol
cal and fantastic creations" she saws.
She should do humorous dances and
tragic dances that are the very essence
of beauty as she sees it, In this wav.
and IN this way only, can a dancer be-
come truly great artist. She must
be the absolute master of her body and
us movements. linen she is free to
express what she will-to show other
people, through the beauty Of her art,
what life means to her. Her technique
must be so perfect that one does not
know it is there. She must be able to
leap and whirl and fall to the ground
in apparent defiance of all the laws of
gravitation. She must be the very spirit
OF beauty come to life-then will her
dancing bring real JOY to those who be-
hold it,"

The Summer Time at Lights
Club, Actors Organization

Wednesday evening in July is the
time. The rays of summer sun are
beating down on the defenseless and
unfortunate jewellers in cities. coun-
try breezes afford some relief But
out in Freeport, l.. l., at the home of
the Lights Club, it is Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve with the temperature
nearing the century mark!
When white blanket of snow COW
crs the ground, when an icy wind
whistles through the leafless trees,
when the Christmas tree is lighted
and trimmed in real holiday weather,
where is the actor? If he is not play
ing on Broadway he is on the road, In
the latter case adequate Christmas
festivities are out of the question. He
cannot gather his own about him and
celebrate. SO he waits and in the
summer time at the Lights Club an
increased amount of holiday good
cheer makes UP for The postponement.
The windows of the clubhouse are
covered with cotton to represent frost,
large tree with gifts for all stands
in the main hall and Santa Claus dis
tributes them.

Of theater folk gathered five years ago
to discuss plans for social club.
Around the town lived actors and man
ayers, owning homes and property val
ued at about half million dollars. In
the summer months the wanderers from
the road came home to rest. and it was
decided that a playground where they
could meet and enjoy themselves
should be started So from the meet
ings at tho garage the Lights Club has
developed. Victor Moore was the first
president or "angel," and others who
took an active part in the organization
were Harry Bulger George p Murphy,
Robert Henry Hodge and Norman E.
Manwaring. Nh. Manwaring has been
secretary of the club for the last four
years and to him much of the credit
for the growth and success of the
club Is due.
A series Of performances by men,
bers of the newly formed club to raise
money for the building Of q clubhouse
was given, and with an inconside rable
sum to start with work began. and the

about the fact that Mrs. Patrick Camp

When Mr. Hackett returned from

of his future work, Mr.. Hackett said;
