Modern Dance Held
Separate Art.

JOHN MARTIN, a foremost critic Of
the dance in America today, lee
tured at the King Smith Playhouse
! last night on The Modern Dance"
advising his audience to accept the
modern dance as an expression Of ideas
and emotions entirely disassociated
from literary and musical themes. In
current terpsichore. he said. music is
supplement to the action OF the
dance. and narratives are discarded
IN favor OF kinesthetic expression OF
ideas.
Mr.. Martin made a clear distinction
between the modern dance. which
seeks to discover in movement and
gesture the significant facts OF our
civilization. and the modernistic dance,
which is an exaggera ton and sophis-
tication OF the meaning of present.
day life.
Admitting that the dance of our
times cannot be regarded as a popular
entertainment, he said that never
theless. to those who follow and at
tempt to understand it. the dance
oners an exaltation OF the spirit. an
insight into the flavor OF the era, that
cannot be gained through the con-
temptation of any other medium.
"A recital by Martha Graham is no
more spectacle for the masses than
q symphony Of Sibelius," the lecturer
said. but both are of incalculable'
value to the audience which wishes to
absorb them as a tonic and a stimulant
to thought about our civilizat ton.
The dance is an end in itself. Its
music is Complementary. 1t does not
depend on story to reach its audi
ence any more than an orchestra
ton. Let those who attend dance re-
citals come prepared to feel. to think,
to understand. but not to witness the
enactment OF bedtime stories"
