Elizabeth Gardiner Returns
With Foreign. Dances.

.EL1zABETH GARDINER, we'll
known in Washington as tai
cnted dancer who has studied the art
since she was d very small child, and
was with Anna Pavlowa's company
several seasons, has just returned
from abroad. where she spent the
Summer. Miss Gardiner studied under
several leaders in dance schools of Eu-
rope, from whom she obtained first
hand the accurate steps of unusual
dances. which. in most cases. were
danced to the old native folk music OF
those countries.
In Seville, Spain. Miss Gardiner
studied the dances of La Bella Otero.
a famous ballerina in the days of our
yrandmothers. Under the supervision
of La Bella's nephew, Miss Gardiner
learned the intriCacieS of the Spanish
gypsy dances, which are very different
from the usual Spanish dances seen
on the American stage. The flamenco
was a particular dance which Miss
Gardiner found especially fascinating.
In Paris. under the direction of
Nine. Tretilova: q cotemporary of
pavlowa's Mss Gardiner learned
0tl-~- dances. While there she saw
Pavlowa. who visited her friends
school en- paSSant. Under a Russian
dance master, Miss Gardiner learned
the national dance of the Caucasus,
which is based on the subject OF the
,ilatinE of eagles. This dance, it
seems, is not unlike the Mexican dance
based upon the mating of doves or the
American Indian dance of the eagles
An Armenian national dance was also
based upon folk music, and proved
similar to the Caucasian dance in the
gestures employed by the women
dancers. The men have the most to
do in these native dances.
While in Paris. Miss Gardiner saw
the great Russian, Mile. Spessiotseva,
and was most enthusiastic over the
excellence of the work done by the
ballet corps of the Paris opera. She
was considerably amused by the mod
frnistic cayortings of the Diaghleff
ballet, which corresponds choreo-
graphically to the ultra modernists
0tmong music composers, such as
Schoenberg. Milhaud and Poulanc.

Fisk Jubilee Singers Oc-
tober 81.

The Fisk Jubilee Singers will make
their first appearance in washington,
under the auspices OF the American
Missionary Association, after tour
of England, France and Germany
which was recently concluded. They
will appear on the opening program or
the Missionary Society October II and
on other programs during the week.
Following the Washington engage
ment the group of negro singers Will
appear in New York and Brooklyn
and from there will start on coun-
try-wide tour that will keep them
busy until the end of the season.
Until this year the Fisk Jubilee
Singers have appeared in various
cities as part Of the propaganda for
Fisk University in Nashville, Tenn.
Now, owing to the fact that their
European tour was not only a success
d d'estime but also a decided success
from the box office standpoint, they
are being booked as a straight musical
attraction.
In London, Paris and Berlin the
critics praised the quality of their
voices, their remarkable ensemble
singing and the character of their
programs. Large audiences attended
their concerts.
To those who cherish what is genu-
fnely of the soil in American music,
who wish to preserve the folk songs
of this country, the programs of these
singers are especially valuable. The
old spirituals, plantation melodies, as
we'll as some of the more modern ex-
pressions Of negro music, such as
Deep River" are sung. This year
their programs will be of the same
type. Each season sees the inclusion
of numbers that have survived for
generations which are unknown to
the average concertgoer.
The five singers in the present
group are the third generation of
Fisk Jubilee Singers, the first having
appeared many years ago before
Queen Victoria. 1t is only recently
that the group has become known to
the public.
This season the Fisk Jubilee Singers
