DANCING PENDULUM
SWINGS TO DECENCY
Wriggling, Squirming, Jazzy Dancing
is Losing its Popularity In Nearly
Every Part of the United States

Los Angeles. Sept. 2t.-wriggling,
squirming, jazzy dancing Is losing its
popularity in nearly every part of the
United States, and modesty, propriety
and reserve are coming back in the
dance halls, according to Fenton Bott,
national director of dance reform,
who attended the summer session Of
the normal school of American Ma
tional Association of Dancing Masters
here.
The touching OF faces, semi-em-
braces and excess of muscular re-
Spouse to overdone syncopation are
now taboo in virtually every dance
hall in America, said Mr.. Bot. Men
and women have swung back to the
human normal of propriety and good
taste, he said.
The most undesirable Of jazz dane
ing was the result of adding dreamy
oriental atmosphere to highly synco-
pated music" continued Mr.. Bott. 1T
is almost impossible properly to SUI
pervise dancing when the time OF the
selection is broken up by great num-
Der of beats. When the jazziest Of
music is played, II is hardly possible
for the dancers not to respond.
Improper department on the floors
of dancing schools and public halls
has become rarity in the last three
years. The campaign conducted by
the National Association of Dancing
Masters for clean dancing is partly
responsible for the change. It also is
to be crediated to the people them
selves.
Private clubs and cafes have been
beyond the influence of the associa-
ton, and In these privileged places
jazz dancing in the extreme may still
prevail, but the bulk of the nations
dancers, those who attend schools and
public halls. are dancing with as much |
modesty, propriety and reserve as ever
was seen in the days of the waltz, /
polka, schottische and their running |
mates.

the "Jarnowick" (l74I, and the
"Healy" Stradivari (1711). The Bot"
Ia regarded as one of the most wide
ly known instruments in the United
States. 1t was at one time owned by
the Duke of Cambridge, and after
! Wards by Louis Spohr, passing later
into the hands Of the late Prof. John
Bot who, as young man, had been
pupil of Spohf.
The Earl is of exceptional size
and, weight, which distinguishes 1t
from any previous or later work of
Stradivari. 1t was purchased about
1920 by the founder of. the London
Royal Academy of Music, the Earl of
bassador at Vienna.
The "Jarnowick" is a splendid
specimen of the last type of the mas
ter. 1t is contemporary with the
"Paganini" Guerneri d743), now pre-
served in the Municipal Palace at
Genoa, which. in the hands of the
great Maestro, delighted so many
thousands in Europe.
