They're telling a highly un.
usual poker episode that took
place in Saratoga last week.
A famous gambler, here identi-
fled as Frank, was a 100000
winner in a stud game that
smacked of older and better
days.
The heavy loser was a chap
who was gambling far over his
head. He was out the 100000
that Frank was winning. The
other players were within 1000
of their original starting stacks.
A time limit had been set on
the game, and the last hand
was dealt. The pot grew and
grew until there was almost
$4,000 in it. Frank held three
aces on the last draw, and the
big loser had three kings. The
other players dropped out.
Knowing that the man with
whom he was gambling was in
difficult financial straits, Frank
did a most amazing thing. Al
though he knew he had the
other man beaten on the
table, Frank tossed in his cards
and said he guessed his bluff
hadn't worked. He arose,
cashed in. said goodnight to
his friends, and left.
The loser, who didn't know
he had just been made a pres
ent of some $4,000, slapped
down the cards in disgust.

Mitzi Mayfair
Discusses Art
OF Dancing
Seem Stars

Dancing, which plays a promi
nent part in the theater-whethe,
in vaudeville, revues, or musica
comedies-iS so popular with
American theatergoers, that ever!
patron instantly recognizes th'
type of dancing offered. So say
Mitzi Mayfair, the talented dance,
who, with the Twelve Aristocrats
is to be seen at the Earle The
ater.
There are four types of dane
ing, according to Miss Mayfair
They are, classical, acrobatic, tai
and ballroom. The various sub
divisions of these general dance!
are very interesting.
"WebSter," she says, defined
dance as a measured leaping,
stepping or tripping of the body
or limbs in unison to rhythmic
beats. The classic types of
dancing are adagiO or slow
lifting ballet; arabesque, or the
graceful ballet movements; the
aprezgrandsts, or butterfly
leaps; and the fly-away, which
is Self-explanatOry.
'The acrObatic dances are
the front and back paSnOkS and
aerial; the Russian wing with
one or two feet; the plier feish
and plier-up-pirOuette, which
means in simple language the
cake-walk and back bend and
the walkOver and back bOuret
all done on the toes. The plain
acrobatics include the front
and back walkOverS; the tins
ZigeS, which are hand walks
with hands lifted one over the
other; the rolling crab (chest
rOllS) splits (left and right dis
location split and the rolling
split.
"The tap dances require the
timebreak and step first of all.
The different styles of tapping
are termed acrObatic, buck and
wing, clog, eccentric, reels, high
land fling, soft shoe, song and
dance, hOrn-pipe, waltz clog,
SchOttische and sword dances.
The ballroom dances are well
known. These include the min
uet, mazurka, lancerS, polka.
quadrille, tango, one step, fan.
dangO, walking the dog, Balti-
more, Oceana roll, fox trOt and
balling the jack.
"SOme dance authorities in
clude Oriental dances in the
distinct classification. These
types are not included among
the acrObatic The better known
Oriental steps are the Nautch,
the Hula, the contortion and
the snake. These, of course,
are so often used as interludes
in other dances-Or certain
movements are adapted in other
types so as to produce a hy.
brid dance-that authorities
have come to include these
adaptations under the heading
of eccentric dances"
