hearsals. In short time she was re-
hearsing twice day and dancing profess
sionally all evening at the gardens.
1t was while in the midst of these re-
hearsals and performances, Miss Ehlers
says, that she received her first horrifying
hint that she had contracted jazz joints!
She had attended an amateur musicale
at the Englewood High School-the very
school from which she had been grad
uated. There, were her old school mates
and her old teachers. OF course, she was
on her very best behavior. Not that her
behavior isn't always good, but here she
felt it ought to be extraordinarily-wel
If you have ever gone to a musicale at
your old school you will understand Be-
sides, she had always been noted at the
school for her quiet and reserved deport-
ment. ' s -
One of the former students was playing
on the piano and suddenly swung into
some indigo syncopations. To her intense
shame Miss Ehlers found herself going
through some dance movements which
were trife too much even for the more
broad-minded of those who were there.
Her former teachers were indignant and
some talk resulted which reached the
parents of her former fellow pupils, and
finally her own mother. .-.0. .....

nerve connection with the hearing centres
OF the brain and is highly sensitive to the
pitch and rhythm of music. Sometimes
this little gland becomes morbidly sensi-
tive to certain kinds of sounds. When
this happens and whenever these sounds
sound, an irritation is set up in the pitui-
tary which is communicated to the spinal
cord and certain nerves running out of
it. This irritation causes the nerves to
pull at the muscles and joints they control.

Still, Miss Ehlers says, she did not un-
derstand what was the matter with her.
She was perplexed, mystifed, panied.
The day following, though, she was din
ing in a restaurant with her fiance when
in the orchestra a saxophone began to
moan.
Horrifed, her fance saw his beloved's
shoulders and hips begin to shimmy at the
table. People turned to look
"Stop the orchestra" gasped she. And
it was only when her escort had explained
the tragedy to the orchestra leader and
the indignant saxophonist was muzzled
that she could go on eating.
Then came the episode of the band.
Her family physician, DR.. Charles M.
Laury, was summoned. He heard her
story, considered moment, and then put
record on the Ehlers's' phonograph. It
was an operate piece and Miss Ehlers
heard it without twitch or tremor. DR..
Laury tried vocal selection. There was
no response. Last, he put on rag-time
selection by jazz band and Immediately
Miss Ehlers began to demonstrate the
same symptoms that had attended her
humiliating experiences on the street.
That's enough" said the doctor, turn
ing off the phonograph. "Diarthrositisp' p'
The suit was filed.
Producer Young shrugs his shoulders
and says that Miss Ehlers should have
thought about her "jazz joints" before she
decided to become an actress.
In discussing the case with Marie,s
mother Doctor Laury said that the onlv
dangerous possibility of her condition
was that her diarthrosis might possibly
develop into st. Vitus's dance. He ex-
planned that dancing-even "jazz" dane
ing-is healthy when it is not done to
excess. 1t is only when the dancer thinks
of nothing else and dances continually
that the nervous reaction may set in.
There are many young people afflicted
with the Jazz mania, so many that Eng
lish and French physicians who have wit
messed the dancing of Americans in
Europe have long predicted some nervous
or physical result.
Miss Ehlers's is the first definite case
Of physical reaction to the "jazz" mania.
Physicians who examined her in Chicago
expressed the opinion that If the dancing
craze does not subside there will be other
unfortunates suffering from the same
humiliating disease. .. -.
The Washington times., 1922-07-16

st. Vitus's dance is an exaggerated form
of the malady.
So much for what Miss Ehlers's ply
sicians claim is her unusual disease"
Here is how her jazz joints came upon her.
Miss Ehlers, 1T appears, recently grad
uated from high school. Like many other
young and impressionable girls, she
wanted to go on the stage. Her mother
and father were opposed to this ambition,
but Miss Ehlers went to Mr.. Young and
asked him to give her a chance.
Mr.. Young observed that she was pretty
and animated and possessed all of the re-
quirements that theatre goers pay good
money to see, and engaged her on trial
He found that she wanted to specialize
in dancing, at which she was already very
proficient, and so he gave her "jazz"
number to rehearse and promised her an
opportunity at the opening of the Mari
gold Gardens, one of the gay after-the-
theatre rendezvous along Chicago's ex-
elusive North Shore.
In order to perfect her dance Mr.. Young
insisted that Miss Ehlers rehearse several
times day. Even after her successful
appearance, which delighted everyone but
her parents and her fiance, Mr.. Young in
sisted on the continuation Of her re-
