ISadOra Duncan
in Flaming Scarf
Says She's a Red
Many Boston Spectators Leave
Performance Shocked at
Her Undress.

Special Dispatch to THE New YoRK HERALD.
BosToN, Oct. %. - Isadora Duncan
danced in Symphony Hall here this
afternoon in transparent costume that
left little to the imagination and
which left even less when at various
times during the performance the left
upper part OF It slipped from her shoul-
ders.
And at the close OF the dance, while
her audience gasped, she walked to the
footlights and. standing in the full glare
of the stage lights. waved a flaming red
scarf and shouted:
This is red. That is what I am!p
Virtually every person in the audience
accepted this as a defiance and recalled
that the dancer had been held up at
Ellis Island by the $mmigration authori-
ties when she returned from Russia
some weeks ago. Nobody hissed her at
any stage of her performance. but many
left the hall. Even the musicians of the
The New York herald., 1922-10-23

orchestra, accustomed as they are TO
dress, expressed astonishment that
nothing was done to stop the dance.
During the first part of the perform
ance Miss Duncan wore gown that was
not quite transparent but which per-
sisted in slipping from her shoulders.
Her next dance. however. was performed
in the transparent garment, with parts
OF her body entirely bare. She made
no ATTEMPT to cover herself when the
lights were turned on, and after she had
waved the red scarf she walked across
the stage under the lights with the
conductor Franko, whom she called TO
come upon the stage.
In the final dance Miss Duncan APP
peared in an abbreviated red ycostu~,.
and carried a scarf OF similar color.
Her contortlons and writings finished,
she came to the front OF the stage, fol-
lowing the applause. and told the audi
ence she would say a few words. She
began by urging those in the hall to be
sure to read the latest work OF Gorly,
the Russian author OF him she said:
"He is a real hero of the revolution"
With utterance of this sentiment came
a smattering of applause. She contin-
ued by saying. "Gorky refers in his
works to three kinds of people-blacS,
gray and red. Life here is not real.
Those statues overhead are not real.
Knock them down. They are not the
statues OF real Greek gods. L could
hardly dance here"
Americans are Wild" she said. Don't
let them tame you" She added: II
don't let them tame me. Thank God

like my copies. give you something
from my heart. l bring you something

MIXED ENTERTAINMENT.

Those seekers for entertainment who
venture into the Rivoli Theater this
week will do well to gauge 1t so that
they make their entrance at one OF the
following hours: as. s:45. or o.
In this way they will arrive Just in

upon his latest two reel triumph. His

through that, they can next turn their
attention to J. C. Williamsons WON

marine picture which was at the Rialto
last week.
When that Is over they can leave
and conscientiously vote the evening q
great success. II they wait longer. how
ever. they will have 20 watch Gloria
Swanson languish through one OF the
stupidest photodramas that has come
out of the West this year.
It is entitled "The Impossible Mrs.
Bellew." and It Is tailored to order for
Miss Swanson, which means that the
central character is a beautiful, viva
cious and vastly overdressed lady who
is necessarily misunderstood. The i'm
possible Mrs Bellew may have possessed
a tinseled exterior, but deep down within
her was all mother, as the subtitles take
great pains to point out.
There is, OF course. a terrific display
OF wealth--if not OF good taste. The life
of the social celebrities at Deauville is
subjected to several reels of pitiless pub
licity. and no secret is made OF the fact
that 90 per cent OF their jollity Is mere
sham. They frolic about and throw
confetti at each other. but underneath
it all are hearts that are starved for
love.
For all its blatant costliness 'The I'M
possible Mrs. Bellew" is essentially cheap
stuff. 1t Is vulgar in the worst sense

ACTION AT STRAND.
Every so often the Strand Theater
offers its patrons a real. old fashioned
movie melodrana of the type that used
to flourish when the motion pictures
first began to be in their infancy.
There Is veritable rip-snorter there
this week and "Skin Deep" is its name.
II Is a succession of fierce thrills, tied
together after a fashion and presented
as a continuous story.
Here is the outline Bud Doyle,
dish faced crook from New York, cap
tured a German machine gun nest single
handed and received a decoration. When
he returned to his native heath along
the Bowery he was railroaded to prison
by crooked politician who coveted his
wife. Bud then proceeded to escape
from prison by jumping from the wal!
TO a passing train and climbing from
that into an aeroplane by means of n
rope ladder. He fel, from the plane
into a tree, from which he was rescued
by an eminent surgeon who made
speciality of altering human faces. So
successful was he with Bud Doyle that
no one recognized the ex-crook when he
emerged from the hospital.
All OF which proves that IL beauty is
but skin deep so is ugliness
Milton Sills plays the leading role in
this boisterous melodrama and succeeds
in making real character of the op-
pressed Bud--aided as he is by liberal
supply of nose putty.
There are further offerings by the
Folxine Ballet at the Strand, one or
which, gacchanal. Is excellent The
other two, 'Humoresque" and Polka
suffered somewhat from the evident
oyerearnestness of the dancers.
