looked is that the Greeks had strict:

looked is that the Greeks had strict
physical training in gymnasium, and
generally the heritage of a strong phy-
sique to begin with. The average per-
son today can with difficulty hold a
pose on one foot for ten seconds. Yet
to express lightness in dancing, the in
dividual must have the power to put
his body into positions that are really
easy and graceful. For US. who lack
the heritage of the Greek, this means
hard work. But the casual devotees or
art flutter along, trying to build top
story Of bacchanals and Amazon
dances ON a wobbly foundation. :; -
Another scarcely understood fact is
that Greeks used |in:;rheir dances the
natural ways OF expressing emotion
that are used in real life. When jeal-
'oussy, grief, hatred and love are strong
enough, even the: fingers eyes and,
shoulders respond with certain reac-
tions. Isadora Duncan understood this
She found the Greeks inspiring be-
cause their dancing expressed emo
ton in ways which seemed to her nat
ural and beautiful. Her aim was Tor
the dance to interpret some aspect OF
life just as a poem or painting does'
not to initiate Greek poses for the sake
Of doing q classic dance.
Many barefoot dancers, however,
have wandered from this ideal Of art.
They take it that the same gesture can
be used in every dance and that so long
as step is graceful it is appropriate.
This leads to the confused waving OF
arms and legs with which so many
dancers greet the Hungarian Rhap-
sody" and Chopin's Funeral March
alike. Then. too. we have the ether ex-
treme of Greek dances produced with
a. deadly precision that reduces them
to the inspirational level of a Swedish
clap dance. - -. -
Greek dancing has been most popular
with us because, in dancing. as in 9TH
er things, we have more in. common
with the European than with the Ori-
entail. Egyptian and Hindu dancers
with angles. elbows, contortions and
Turkish trousers have added a dash OF
the exotic to our artistic efforts, but
their vogue has been limited.
Strangely enough. the American In
dian has never figured to any extent In
our reviyals Of different styles Of dane
ing Yet the primitive Indian puts re-
ligious and emotional expression In his
dances no less than the Greek. The
form of the Indian dances Is often at
tractive. It is a mistake to think OF
them as nothing but monotonous leap
ing in g. circle with grunts from the
chorus. Indian dancing should appeal
to u.s. too, because Of its symbolic and
dramatic qualities. AS people, we
respond most quickly to dancing that
tells story.
We seem to be drawing more or less
inspiration from the various peoples
who made Of dancing an art. We have
this. for a foundation. And now that
the rhythm of machinery has been put
into the language Of the dance by one
pioneer, it Is possible. that a school
may grow. up and that we shall have
descriptive and dramatic dancing with
modern themes. 1t may be the begin
ming of an American dance art.

Robertson has not yet complied

express the opinion that the gov

out a story to the press announc-

institutions OF the State, and had
reduced the amount asked for to
S17. 100000. With much trumpet
ing IL was heralded that this was
such a drastic slash that the gov

great economist OF his time. This
story. as be has II given out, was
