Our friend. Theodore Kosloff, a Russian
dancer who is now prominently identified
with the movies, is Of the opinion that
Jazz dancing" is doomed.
The following statement OF Koslof

recent revival, previous to the present,

artistic cocktail with dancing serving as
the basic ingredient, is to be done this
week by Raymond Hitchcock in associa

music by Devi, Spanish dances from Mad

Rosalind Fuller, Margaret Petit and

Of the greatest cities Of the world. The

give pleasure to the eye.
There is gayety and a carnival spirit
that is exotic in a Spanish American
type. People love their opera and the
great orchestras, and their playhouses.

Of the biggest successes OF the decade

Faun" and ''Milest0nes." Heading the
cast in the walker production will be
George Gaul and Spring Byiaston.
MY Lady's Dress" is composed Of
six little plays, introduced by q pro
logue and followed by an epilosue, and
have no connection the one with the
other insofar as the characters are con-
cerned- Each OF the stories has TO do
with people Of its own and Is played
in a locality OF its own. The plays, or
strictly speaking, scenes, deal with tbs
history OF milady'S evening gown. They
are dreams Of an eItrGvaganI wife who
has fallen asleep IL her boUdo.r after
discussing with her husband q beautiful
dress which she has just received from
the modistes, and the costliness Of
which o'--rages the husbands sense OF
proprieJy.
When she awakes, rememb ering her
dreams, she renews her discussion with
her husband and arrives at a more
wholesome attitude about clothes. In

dieuce sees the origin Of the dress-frst.

finally the making. So, the second scene
IS an incident connected with the silk

cerned with its weaving il southern

facture Of lace in Holland, the fifth to
the making Of its artificial flowers in
