NEW YORK, Dec. b.-''The differ

labor has no significance to a bride.
Neither does q living book who
catechises her on political economy

her in his two strong arms and
smother with bites and kisses"
This Is the philosophy-backed by
personal experience-of Nina Lane

Divorced from her first husband
whom she describes as an limitation

believes that her Mac--as she terms
husband No. 2-needs a physical
mate"
Now the statuesque authoress an
nounces she is in a vigorous search Of
the third husband, "a real cave man,
tall blond man with a cleft In his
chin" who will drag her into his lair

dances. The tribal dance. of course was the first form of dramatic art. It was the races first form of self expression and was developed in con- nection with religious worship. The dance is still the only form of dra- matic art practiced by primitive tribes existing in the world today.
 Among the Aleutians mystic mask dances form part of their holy cere- monies" we are told by one authority
 Some of these dances are performed by women. Hundreds of women darce round their idols by moonlight, and all have their faces covered with wooden masks, painted in imitation of the heads of sea animals These masks have no apertures for eyes, only holes beneath the nose. which allow the ebearers Id look downward but in no other direction.
 American Indians also have mys- tic festivities at which whole panto- mines are performed and the actors appear disguised, usually as animals, and belong to secret societies. No outsider is admitted to these strictly ritual dances Many Of them have passed out Of existence but others are still held with great regularity. Membership in these secret societies Is always restricted and the members enjoy certain special privileges Thus the 'Hamatsa. which is a society among the northwest Indians. wal once allowed to eat human flesh. The secret societies among tEe Polynesians kill and eat anybody who happens to intrude upon their dances. The dancers wear monstrous animal heads or grotesque human faces, carved of light wood and gaudiiy painted in rcd black and white: the head covered with a framework of cane. decorated with vegetable substances to represent hair. Sometimes the masks arc made of two tortoise shells elaborately put together and carved.
 Tn New Britain the natives ob-
 serve the pleasant custom of using
 the skulls of their deceased relatives for masks The skull is provided al l the back with a transverse bar which the dancer keeps in his teeth while whirling about. The head is covered with a kind of clay. painted
 with red. white and blue stripes

NEW YORK CITY One of the most notable features of this year, 6 theatrical season, now drawing to . close, has been the revival of masks upon the stage. The season has been an exceptional one. containing many surprises and thrills, but nothing more sensational than the moment when the American dancer, Margaret Severn, paused in the midst of the Greenwich Village Foliies and took off her face-a beautiful, painted face that had seemed unquestionab1y to belong to her After that, the au- dience was prepared for anything, and Miss Severn did not disappoint 1t. She put on and took off whole se- ries of convincing faces
 The new masks are the work of the well known artist, w. T. Benda- They have nothing in common with the kind affected by highwaymen, noi yet those worn by department store Santa Clauses, but draw their fnspi- ration from the early days of the race when the mask was an important factor in the religious ritual. It is tc be assumed that the race has forgot ten those weird. ancient ceremonies Certainly, the twentieth century is 8 far cry from the days when men anced around the temples of heather gods. disguised in the grotes1us masks of secret religious societies Yet the new Benda masks arouse 8 curious thrill = as of something strange and yet familiar
 To John Murray Anderson belongs the distinction of bringing back ts the stage this oldest or dramatic features. Anderson is a member oi that group of theater radicals. led by Rhinehart and Gordon Craig, wht have rebeiled against the photo graphic realism of the present-day theater and are going back to thu primitive for their inspiration. H. first saw the Benda masks when they were worn by Margaret Severn in z pantomine produced last spring at tn, New York Coffee House club. H. was immediately impressed with thei great artistic value. and decided tha the follies should feature them.
