Ruth St. Denis, at
81, Plans Tour
Of Dancing
By TALBOT LAKE

INFORMED persons say there Is
: nothing more enervating than Q
career devoted to the dance. DAN
GERS start their training when they
are mere tots. reach their zenith IN
the early twenties and fade IN the
thirties - 1t least many OF them
seem to. Pavlowa was an exception
and our own Ruth st. Denis seems
to be another.
Now, at 81. Ruth st. Denis Is
planning a tour. She still has the
same supple. graceful hgure as she
did that day In 1904 when Belasco
launched her at the Hudson The
ater In New York.
Miss st. Denis Is q striking look
ing woman, with pure white bobbed
hair and blue eyes. An exponent OF
the dances Of the East. she has
made many trips to those far-on
countries. absorbed much OF their
culture and brought their dances to
Occidental audiences.
There was quite q furry about
the dancer when she appeared In q
Presbyterian Church In New York
City In 1895 and gave her interpre-
tation Of the Psalms. entitled;
when Mediate on Thee In the
Night Watches" She has done q
great deal Of research In compare
tive religions. especially In relation
to the use Of the dance IN express
ing religious ideas.
When she wes q little girl. Ruth
st. Denis uSeSfto dance around In
bare feet In TIL fields Of New Jersey.
Later, In the Nineties, she scandal
tied and thrilled theater audiences
when she danced bare-footed and
bare-waisted before IN audience. At
that time. such goings-on were dis
tinctly taboo.
About the only place I haven't
danced II In the circus" said Miss
st. Denis. As q pioneer Of going
into places I have danced In every
kind Of theater In America and In
the Orient. ] have always wanted to
dance for dining audiences. those
who are not particularly interested.
and to win them over.
I'm nuts about the Orient. And ]
believe the barriers Of misunder-
standing should be broken down as
quickly a. possible. Arts are the
