Chase Club, through their golf
chairman, Morven Thompson, have
expressed themselves as eminently
satisfied with their present golf
course-and for that reason the
club is only spending quarter
of million dollars on general
improvements.
The changes in the Senatorial

holes as they are at present
built are suitable; the improve

air OF the Maryland suburb. Forty

1t is not the Charleston. 1t is the So
called classic, interpretative of physi-
cal culture dance cults which have

of these dance aspirants.

forces in the world, ting a tre-
mendous creative power in the dancer.

that physical imperfections can be
cured by various bodily postures and
movements. but to compare this sys.

Most dancers, whether profes

give of themselves-to make their

they are eager and capable of inter
preting some of the truths of life as
expressed through music and the
dance. Beyond that point they seem
to face a closed door, a blank wall
Consequently they fail to generate
the vitality needed for the creation
of beauty.
