THE latter point is extremely sig

Washington, especially the ones who
go to see Miss Graham. That lady
has been pronounced a great artist
by those who should know. As a
freshman dance critic having his fling
at a first season, one of the greatest
thrills I've experienced all year came
when I realized at Miss Graham s
recital that this was art, and I didn't
understand it very much or like it
at all. That sensation makes one
feel practically like taxpayer: maybe
like one who is preparing to plant
his first garden-combinatio Of emo

Miss Graham is serious person,
she knows exactly what she wants
to do and, in her estimation, does it.
