PAVLOWA
Pavlowa will be at the Salt Lake
theatre on Wednesday next. Pavlowa
is supreme in that she makes all that
see her dance enter into her spirit
completely forgettln0' technique where
as great dancers of bygone days were
praised because they could pirouette
or do this or that so many times.
Pavlowa Ib not only a dancer but a
creator of moods, a lyric poet so to
speak.
The transcending art of the Russian
ballet as exemplified by Pavlowa and
her grqat troupe, is really not funda
mentally Russian at all, but German,
French and Italian. And although bal
let dancers have been trained at the
personal expense of the Czar for cen
turies in Russia no native Muscovite
dancer attained world-wide fame till
Pavlowa's time. Until a generation ago j
the Imperial ballet masters were not I
Russians. And today the basic tech
nique taught at the Imperial Mar- 1
iensky Institute of the Dance is Ital
ian. With their innate love for music,
and their aptitude for the graceful
national dances, Russians were natur
ally adept pupils for the ballet. It
is strange then that unitl Pavlowa's
time the greatest of the dancers who
appeared before the Czar were Ital
ians or French. But now the Russian
dancers, having made the art of the
other nations their own, are beyond
any dispute the greatest dancers the
world has ever known.
THE PRICE
"The Price" is nothing to rave
about and though containing many
dramatic situations Is a vehicle pro
viding little for any one in its cast
with the exception of the part Miss
Ware, the authoress, created for her
self. As was to be expected, Miss j
Rambeau played the part to perfec- j
tion ably assisted by Mr. Mack, How
ard Scott, Mrs. Lillian Rambeau and j
Frederick Sumner. '

I FROM THE PLAY OF GEORGE M. COHAN BY EDWARD2MARSHALL
M (Copyright, 1913, by C. W. Dillingham Co.)
H (Continued from last week.)
Wm'- "I started looking for a 'boy-want-
HBf ed' sign. It sounds funny, but it is
B" a fact. My intentions were the best.
B in all the world. But I got to think-
H ing of something else, after I had
H walked a block or two, and where do
HI you suppose I was when I woke up?
Hl. fin Delmonico's, eating breakfast!
B'j Turned in there out of force of habit.
B "I made a dozen attempts to do
Hf. the right thing. I cut out automo-
Wmtt biles, and rode in street cars for three
Bjl days; I went to an opening night at
Kf a theatre and sat in tho gallery; I
bought a pair of ready-made shoes;
I ate meals at a forty-cent table d'
bote and smoked five-cent cigars
practicing, just practicing, trying to
get used to it.
"But I couldn't. That was all I sim
ply couldn't! All my good resolutions
went to smash every time I took a
look at Broadway. I knew my credit
was good; the things I wanted were
there; I could have them; so well.
I took them, that was all!"
"And now," said Wallace, who had
sat, at first Incredulous, and, 1 ter
apellbound, during the recital, "you
are fifty thousand dollars in debt!"
"I don't know the exact amount, but
that's a fairly good guess."
"You've been pretty quiet about It.
It hasn't seemed to orry you much!"
"Hasn't worried me?" Broadway's
voice was bitter. "Well, I dont mind
telling you that I have just come out
of the first sound sleep I've had in
weeks. I'll betI walked to Chicago
and back every night the first month
I was broke."
"I don't ur lerstand?"
"I mean if you had measured up my
carpet by tho mile. I thought so much
and worried so much that I didn't dare
trust myself alone. I had the weird
est ideas; I did the craziest things. Do
you know that I belong to the Salva- '
tion Army?"
"What!"
"On the level. I went to Newark
and joined one night.
"What was the idea?"
"I thought it might help me forget
my troubles. I played tho bass drum
for two nights and couldn't stand it
ony longer. Er-rhave you ever been
in Newark?"
