the grounds that there is more

more than six minutes on thS
stage; the ten minutes is a re-
hearSal stunt. 1t took her two
years to learn her routine about
two days to figure out what she
wanted to do and the rest of the
time training to do it. She tired
on one foot dancing in less than
three minutes when she started
out.
Before she became a one-footed
specialist, Miss Croker was an
acrobatic dancer. Now she
couldn't do an ordinary routine
if she had to. She's danced on
one foot so long that she can't re-
member how to use both.
She gets her balance from her
arms; her strength is in her legs.
Because of the muscular control
and strength needed to hold up
the foot that doesn't touch the
floor from the start of her act to
the finish, she has not override
veloped the pedestal on which she
stands.
Dorothy could go on dancing 81
weeks out of a year if she wanted
to. Her unusual routine doesn't
tire her. She does like to relax
for a week once in a while, how
ever.
