THE SHAWN PROGRAM.

The dances of labor, which will
be featured in the program to be pre-
sented by Ted Shawn and a group
of male dancers at the Belasco
Theater Sunday evening, are based on
the movements of labor, which were
learned in practical way. Several
years ago Mr.. Shawn bought an aban-
doned farm in Beckett township, in
the Berkshire Hills, called Jacobs
Pillar, for the training of a COM
pany of man dancers. The dancers
chosen did the manual labor on the
farm and later worked in the studio,
creating dances from the actual move
ments used in work during the day.
The company which will appear in
the benefit performance for the Ten
O'Clock Club Sunday is the only
group of dancers who have used the
postures and- Gestures OF manual labor
to form the patterns for the dance.

When Harry Cohn-and, by the

say a minor studio-took Clark

enough to know why.

What am trying to say in my
