Gertrude Saunders Gives
Her Ideas About Dancing

Gertrude Saunders, the eccentric
comedienne of shuttle Along" the all
colored musical melange now playing at
the Sixty third Street Music Hall, has
some ideas of her own about what con-
stitutes good dancing.
"A dancer" said Miss Saunders,
should do more than simply frisk
gracefully about the stage. She should
be able to give her audience a message
and her dancing should mean something
definite 1t must either tell them a
story or reflect some emotion, happi-
ness, jealousy or anger.
THE actress who simply goes through
certain mechanical steps, no matter how
gracefully she may do it, IS not a
dancer or an artist. That sort Of
dancing is insipid and unsatisfying and
means absolutely nothing. Any grace
full person can learn to do It,
"The artist dances with her face, her
hands and her whole body, not simply
with her feet. AS she goes through the
various ateps her expression and her
gestures clearly convey message to
the spectators"

has begun negotiations with Sir Alfred
Butt for one. and possibly two, thea
ters in London, where Mr. Morosco is
anxious to make several productions
next season. Since it was in Sir AL

London Success Aided
BY American Ambassador

"Of course!" exclaimed Nat Goodwin,
referring to Mr.. Hopper's London en-
gagement. GLOW could he help it with
the American Ambassador to the Court
Of st. James's as his press agent"
Following the long run of "El Capt.
ten" at the Lyric Theater, Mr.. Hopper
was seen in London at the Comedy
Theater in "The Mystical Miss" before
he returned to New York to join forces
With Weber and Fields in the con-
6 Generation Of nonsense at the Weber
g. Fields Music Hall. Following a
two-years' delightful association with
these fun-makers, Mr.. Hopper toured
in a revival of Wang" starred for
three seasons in "Happyland," which
in turn was followed by "a Matinee
Idol" Next came the Gilbert and
Sullivan operas a period in Mr.. Hop
per's brilliant career which he holds
most dear
~ think they stand out as the high
lights in my career because they all
aiorQed me real INTERPRETATIONS,
Mr.. Hopper said recently, referring to
these operas. 1--WE never liked musical
comedies, because they are so lacking
in just such characterizations. But
when | say musical comedies | don't
mean such revues as 'Selwyn's Snap
shots of 1921 for in this aggregation
of travesties | feel that have plenty
of chance at distinct characterization
Well take the detective in the Who
Done It?' satire, for example, or my
burlesque of 'Deburau.' OF course,
they are travesties, but, even so, they
afford an opportunity for characteri-
cation almost as great as one might
find in fuil-length comedy"
Asked the role he remembers with
the greatest pleasure in all his great
gallery Of famous stage portraits, Mr
Hopper replied without hesitation:
"Why, it's Ole Bill, hero of THE
Better 'Ole,'" he said.

Study and Engagement
AS Comedian in Opera
1t was shortly after Mr.. Hopper was
we'll started in the theater that some
body gave him the idea that he was des-
tined for grand opera basso. This
resulted in year devoted to the culti-
walton of his voice and his becoming one
of the principal comedians with the Nc
Call Opera Company. During his five
years association with this organization
Nh. Hopper was seen in many roles so
familiar to the public that it is not nee
essary to recall them in detail
Mr.. Hopper credits his godfather
with much of his London success Mr..
Choate was at that time Ambassa ador to
the Court of St. James's. Shortly
after the presentation of Gel, Captain"
in the British metropolis Joseph
Choate attended banquet at which
Nat Goodwin presided. Requested to
speak, the ambassador talked for fif-
teen minutes. Twelve of these were
devoted to praise Of De Wolf Hopper

Winter Garden Breaks
Tradition With sWhirl''
Continuity of Production Marks Its Difference From
the Usual Revues Played at
This Theater

Of the things Of the theater is mora
suited for New York in the summer
tiIne.
In "The Whirl of New York" thers
are just as many pretty girls and there
scarcely seems TO be less of the cos
tune element. But the present piees
has a definite story which runs
throughout the evening, with distinct
Characterization upon the part of the
st, which includes Dorothy Ward,
Shaun Glenville, Nancy Gibbs, Flor.
ence Rayfeld, Adelaide and Hughes,
the Rath Brothers and others. Natural
ly, the presence of 3 plot instead Of
revue type calls for fewer scenes. So
in this musical production there are
seven scenes.
The music, too, receives a different
treatment There are character themss
which recur at times during the course
of the performance, while there is
sustained musical interest which can
not be found in q revue. 1t provides
background for the story.
1t has been said that production
such as "T'he Whirl of New York." With
its continuity of plot and musical
treatment, is better liked by some au-
diences, since in revue the spectator
must interest himself in each new
scene as separate unit, while in "Ths
Whirl of New York" the plot and musi-
cal continuity carry him with them.
The difference, say the theater observ-
ers, is illustrated by book of short
stories and novel.
There is also continuity in the eos
tuning of "The Whirl of New York"
In revue there is usually small def.
mite reason for any costume of givea
moment, but in the current Winter
Garden production the costuming is in
accord with the requirements of the
plot and action.

Interesting Chat and Stage Gossip for Playgoers
Mile. Mitti Says She Dances
Only Because She Loves Tt
1t Seems as Though She Never Had to Learn at All
She just Danced, aud Ii is Easy to Believe as
You Watch Her i'm the New Ziegfeld Show

their dances are wild affairs, without
the slightest suggestion of anything
save grace and freedom and beauty.
The frst dance is called "The
Harem." Here her lord and master sur
prises her with her English lover, and
he tosses her about in an alarming
fashion before he decides to forgive
her. In this dance Mitti wears girdle
and two or three pieces of heavy en-
broidery, which somehow, miraculous
iy, stay in place while he dances. In
the second act Mitti and Tilio are part
of the Ben Ali Haggin tableau, "Pas-
sion's Altar" From this they leap out
on the stage and do an Algerian dance
But the harem dance is our favorite
Mitti says it is hers, too.

Kyra Studied Dances in Orient

Kyra, the Oriental dancer who is
one of the features of "The Whirl Of
New York" at the Winter Garden, has
developed her dances from long per-
sonal study in the deserts Of the Far
East. Three of her Oriental dances are
shown-a natuch dance, q dance of the
sacred cobra and Syrian desert dance
Although she has lived much in the
Orient, Kyra is an American girl, born
in Memphis, Tenn. At an early age her
family moved to Kansas City. There
she posed for the miniature painter,
the Countess of Bloomberge, and the
Norwegian sculptor, Jordan Dryer. His
statue of her, called Life Drift" is
now in the Museum of Art in Boston.
Through the artists Kyra met
Syrian chieftain, who gave her her
first ideas of dances of the desert. She
became interested, and read every
thing she could find on the subject
She also studied desert paintings. Later
she went to Chicago, and at an artists
ball gave number of the dances She
went to the Orient and travelled
through the Far East studying dances.
When she returned to this country sha
adapted them to the requirements of
the stage. In the main they are the
exact dances of the desert, though for
stage purposes they are cut in length.
Returning to this country, she made
a tour of the principal cities. Next
she was engaged by D. W. Griffith as
solo d. ncer in "The Fall of Babylon"
Since that time she has presented
Oriental dances throughout the country
generally.

Joseph Choate Was
Eopper's Godfather

When he was boy Mr.. Hopper's
parents gave no thought to the theater
as possible profession for their son,
although they both were exceptionally
fond of drama. His grandparents, on
the other hand, were ritualistic church
people, with the belief that the stags
door opened directly into Hades. And
even by his father and mother his the
atrcal aspirations were not encour-
aged, for they educated him to study
law, and were abetted in this purpose
by Joseph Choate, who was warm
personal friend of the Hoppers and
godfather of the young William De
Wolf. The plan was for De Wolf Hop
Fer to become a. lawyer and go into Mr..
Choate's office. The distinguished
statesman recognized that young Hop
per would never become a student, but
he also realized that he possessed cer-
tain dramatic traits which might prove
valuable in arguing cases before juries
After brief association with Mr.
Choate De Wolf Hopper Gas he had by
this time come to be called) manifes ted
such restlessness and such distaste for
law that his godfather advised his par
ents to give him chance in the the
ater.
Acting upon Mr.. Choate's advice, Mrs.
Hopper took the lad to see John Gilbert
and Edwin Booth, and finally lent him
enough money to start company of
his own. With no theatrical experience
tc speak of. it was to be expected tina:
this venture would fail. However.
young Hopper accepted the chance 20

Company, which was followed by an en-

ELI, Ei,'' the Basis of ''Colem''
Musical Program at Criterion

Josiah EURO, director of the New
School of Opera and Ensemble and now
in charge Of the production of special
musical numbers for Hugo Riesenfeld
at the Rivoli, Rialto and Criterion the
aters, has seen his idea Of small oper-
attic productions in motion picture the
aters worked out. 1t has been tried at
the Criterion Theater during the past
week.
Two years ago Mr.. EURO, who had
been an assistant conductor and chorus
master of the Manhattan Opera under
the late Oscar Hammerstein, and later
assistant conductor of the Century
Opera Company, joined Mr.. Riesen-
fields forces. 1t was with the hope and
the understanding that he would have
an opportunity to try out theory that
was nearest his heart. He wanted to
give grand opera on small scale, with
good singers, for the millions who at
tend motion picture houses. 1t was as
director of the New School of Opera
that Mr.. Euro made his first expert
ments. He staged and presented at the
Rivoli scenes and acts from "Faust,"
~ Pagliacci" and al Trovatore." He
felt that acts or parts of acts were
good in their way, but he wanted to
do more. He wanted complete little
story in music, something that would
add to the picture that was being
shown and still stand by itself.
Prologue Suggests
Sorrows of Jewish Race
For the last few months, at the
Criterion and the Rivoli, he has had
his opportunities. For Deception"
he staged bit called "The Hurt Is
Uppe," with music selected from the
Tudor period and supplemented with
compositions by himself, Mr.. Riesen-
field and Frederick Stahlberg And
now, as the prologue TO "The Golemn
at the Criterion he has what he con-
siders the best thing of it's kind ever
shown at a picture house. 1t is called
"Eli, Eli" because that famous Jewish
chant is one of the principal numbers
in it and also because the name sug~
gests, to the members of the race, the
sorrows of which the Euro prologue
treats. In way it is one-act opera,
with the spoken words in English and
the librettos in Hebrew and Yiddish.
The curtain rises and reveals an oli
man who is telling to his little grand.
SON the story of his family. He re-
