L. of the hour when interviewed
Mile. Anna Pavlowa.
Here was this worId-famous dancer
bestoWing the most beautiful kisses
upon her Indianapolis friends-they
were all women.
Never have I encountered so much
kissing in an interview in all my life
! had to halt my chat with the worlds
greatest dancer at the ClaypOoI while
she bestowed her kisses upon others
kissing her friends is not a fad
with Pavlowa. 1t is a delight. It
seems that this wonderful woman can
say so much with just a wee little
kiss upon the cheek.
During my chat with Pavlowa and
her musical director. Theodore Stier
(and he even bestowed a kiss or two
on old friends, not mel, Mrs. Lafay-
cite Page OF this city arrived. She
embraced Pavlowa just as the dancer
was trying 70 make me understand
what she thinks about jazz music.
Now. I ask you, what can {. mere
man do when two women renew old
acquaintance?
Pavlowa forgot all about the inter
view. She wanted to know all about
Mrs. Pages famous daughter, Ruth
Page. Pavlowa was invited to motor
TO the Page home. Yes, she would
do that very thing.
I appealed TO Pavlowa's musical
director.
He talks, yes Mr.. Stier knows
how I feel on all subjects. yes said
Pavlowa between remarks TO Mrs.
Page.
Madame means. said STEERS. that
there is no elevating influence in jazz
music. If you have vulgar music. you
naturally viii have a vulgar move
ment in dance.
Madame does not object to the
steps Of the modern dance. There is
graceful dancing in good music"
AS Iavlowa talked on to Mrs Page,
STEERS told me of the marvellous Orien-
tai tour that the dancer had Just COM
pleted with her company of eighty
people.
PavI0Wa Likes India
Best, bat Japan Loves Her
Madame likes India the best. "
Stier told me.
.'Why?" I asked.
Because India took to her art. -
he said "She liked the attitude OF
the natives. Japan was most gra-
cious. The audiences there were com
posed of natives. In Bombay our au
. diences were filed with the British.
Madame tried to bring western art
to Japan. I conducted a Japanese
orchestra during some of the perform
ances. The japanese people always
wanted to shake hands with Madame
and all of us. Not so in China. as
that nation still holds aloof
I'm Egypt It was a strange expert
ence to see yelled ladies in the boxes
THE remarkable thing about this
company is the family feeling and
spirit which prevails. There is no
quarreling or jealousy. Just one fam.
fly and all love Madame. She is SO
wonderful" Stier said
Mrs. PAGE excused herself so that
I could hurry along with my chat
with Pavlowa.
so sorry" said Pavlowa as she
waved her two expressive hands
Sorry TO have interrupted you. One
so pleased to meet old friend like Mrs
Page"
PavloWa Discusses the
American Girl and Fads
What do you think of the Ameri-
can grip 1 asked
She clapped her hands to her face
and said, as she struggled with her
English: Il think two kinds girls
two styles. Like best Camp Fire girl. -
Stier came to the rescue by saying:
Madame means the out-of-door girl
the natural girl"
Yes. yes, the natural girl-the
healthy girl; girl with personality.

She explained that she does not
