Mi«s Allan say as results and no
tights. VTrien she first glided into view
h«-:-sccen the curtains at the back of the
tag th«» spectators did not perceive
the trie, nature of her costume. It came
S5- a revelation and as a shock. Never
before had such an area of bare flesh
been presented to the raze of a London
audience. There were those who said it

?n far as London was concerned. Miss
Allen's delicacy and erace carried all be
fore her. The public, never critical it»
'his matter, seemed willing to accept a
7<->etic intention in plant of technique. If
■ bad n^ver given the Salome not a

"Did you see her in 'Salome"?"

There was long ago in London a lady

this dialogue between two bm

"No. but I have seen Mrs. A."
That, hvwever. was only an instance of
s general fashion carried to an extreme

-r absolutely new fashion. It has been
followed to an extent which is perhaps a
little disquieting- I believe Mis? Allan

«"as -•■-.-■ who brought It to
Lo^fon and also made 11 popular. Miss
T-sdora Duncan lints priority, and she,

freest movements with reserve, but the
significance of It remains. It I". a* any
rate, a real dance, and not. like Miss
Allan's in "Salome," » compromise be

else. The Dans-- Creole, in Colonel
Xewnham Davis's ballet. "Round the
"World." has a different motif, but Miss
Collier dances it with the same mastery
and the 'same dramatic effect.
Th*» doctrine of dancing is less under
stood in London than In any other Euro
pean capital, or perhaps than in an
other jrr«=at capital except New Tork.
where it is nor understood at all. Alike
in London and in New York, if a. dancer
is quick on her feet and has an expres
six-e. face, she may acquire a great celeb
rity and a great popularity, although she
sever attempts a difficult figure. Since
th» dancing craze s«t in, one dancer
after another has come from the Con
tinent to London, mostly from Russia.
There is beyond doubt a school of danc
ing in St. Petersburg, but the pick of
the basket remains in the Russian cap
ital. Some of those who have been lent
to London are good dancers, but not the
best. They are all advertised as the
best, which seems to answer the same
purpose.
The story of Idle. Genee"s connection
•with the Empire Theatre m London 1? a
good enough example of -what may be.
done, by advertising. She danced there
for some years, unknown and unnoticed.
She was not even "billed." Her name
never appeared in the papers or on the
front of the theatre. She danced then
neither better nor worse than now. After
a time the management seemed to be
come aware that they had in this Dan
ish lady a possible star. Her name fig
ured in print. She was announced as an
attraction. Ballets were mounted for
her. one after another. The public of
•"the halls" is in London a docile public,
and when invited to admire, admires. It
thronged the Empire, which, like some
other places of amusement, is a hall
which call? itself a theatre. Royalty
began to take notice: perhaps the purest
of all ways of inducing others to take
notice. The Queen sent for Mile. Genee
into her box. Society took up the note;
it became the thing to accept and extol
this lady as a dancer. Presently the
facade of the Empire bore an Inscrip
tion in gilt letters. "Adeline Genee: the
World's Greatest Dancer." It had taken
the Empire people many years to make
this discovery. It was all cleverly done,
though in the end overdone. The dra
matic critics, whose ideas about dancing
are, for the most part, of a primitive
kind, echoed in good faith the interested
panegyrics of the Empire manager.
Alas! no sooner was Mile. Genre's back
turned upon London and her face set
westward than There appeared upon the
front of the Empire another flaming leg
end: "Lydia Kyashkt. Europe's Greatest
Dancer." For dancing purposes the
world and Europe mean much the same
thing-, and a bewildered public could only
conclude that this hemisphere held two
dancers, both greatest, or each greater
than the other. Mile. Eyasbt had been
better taught than Mile. Genee and was,
much younger, and very much prettier,
but never quite succeeded to the throne
on which the adorers of the little Danish
woman had placed her. She was adver
tised by the ever enterprising Empire
management as "Premiere Danseuse of
the Imperial Theatre of St. Petersburg:."
She certainly was n^ver that, and it has
been said she never danced a solo in that
theatre. However that may be, she baa
danced a great many in London, and
her technique will compare favorably
with Mile. Genee's.
As Urn Empire ann the Alhambra are
rival? and «=ach calls Itself the home of
ballet, «-a--h must have a =tar ballot
dancer. The Alhambra has as a rival to
Mile. Kyasht. Mile Britta. who, like
Mile. Genee, halls from Denmark. She
came to London imperfectly trained, but
has studied, and in the latest Alhambra
ballet, "Our Flag." dances with a light
ness and spirit pleasant to see. Both
Mile. Britta and Mile. Kyasht — oat of
■whose, name the second "V has been
dropped — belong to the classical school,
but neither of them any more than Mile.
Genet can be said to have found a place
in the fr-nt rank. G. W. S.

LAUD NEW THEATRE
SPOXSORS PRAISED.
Diners Say Stock Company Is
Grown, Not Bought.
A good. sized gathering of actor folk and
others who help to "make the mare go"
in stageland was present yesterday after
noon at a luncheon in the City Club to
hear Th» New- Theatre and its active rep
resentatives extolled. The subject for dis
cussion announced was "The Theatre." To
the speakers this could only mean one
playhouse, and the diners had a sense of
humor sufficient, apparently, not to expect
too broad an application.
All the addresses were most optimistic
«-lth regard to the present and future of
The New Theatre; yet each of the speak
er? pointed out where room for improve
ment existed in. the plays produced, In the
acting and in the attitude of the public
toward" th« Institution. Miss Jessie Busley.
of the New Theatre company. exposed
herself on this last point by relating an
experience of her own as an actress.
"I was once playing a love scene— the
stage. •■ said she. "with a very unenthusl
astic lover. When I came off the stage I
paid to my maid: 1 wish that man would
make love to me properly' And my maid
consoled me. saying:
■" 'Never mind. Perhap? h« will. miss,
■when he knoxes you better.' "
She said The New Theatre wa? trying
to live up to the best traditions of the
stage, a difficult thing nowadays.
Wbxthrop Ames, ite director, thought
The New Theatre was a long way yet
from producing the acting that was to be
seen at the Com^die Frangaise or the Burg
Theatre, but he said he had n«»ver seen
such willing sacrifices or such willingness
to play "for art" as among the players
under his charge.
"A stock company cannot be bought." he
continued. "It must grow by natural se
lection. But The New Theatre has been
going only fourteen weeks and we are get
ting along pretty -well so far. Next year
we ehall not have the opera there. We
have found that drama is able to stand on
its own feet.
"We have had a.n extraordinary publtc
support sin :e the day we opened. After
the first week the receipts increased stead
ily, instead of diminishing. We are now
playing to more people than any other
theatre in this town devoted to drama and
our receipts are one and a half times
greater that at any euch theatre."
Norman Hapgood. who presided, said he
estimated that there were five hundred
thousand playwrights in greater New York.
John Corbin. literary director of The New
Theatre, said that in the fourteen weeks
of its existence he had rejected the plays
of over two thousand. Ke then touched
upon The Naw Theatre's opposition to the
"star" system and the disadvantages this
policy imposed. But he said he had never
seen such genuine response from the pub
lic to Shake- pearian drama as had greeted
it at that playhouse. This he considered a
sufficient vindication for the time being of
their refusal to emphasize^ the player by
distorting the play
"We are building more soundly, more
truly, more permanently." said he, "by not
building on the actor, but on the play, by
building on Shakespeare and Sheridan
rather than on the personality of a star."
Wallace Irwin told the diners that In
response to an advertisement of a "great
cut in the English classics" he had visited
a department store recently and found
"Shakespeare greatly reduced." "BheOey
cut In half" and •'Dante's Inferno" down
lower than ever before.
Miss Rachel brothers, author of "A Man's
World," also addressed the diner?.
At the speakers' table*, besides the speak
ers, were Edward D. Sheldon, author of
"The Nigger": Miss Edith Wynne Mathi
pon. of The New Theatre company, and
Howard Knoblauch. Mrs. Patrick Campbell
said about ten words to the diners at the
beginning of the meal and then was
obliged to depart to keep an engagement.
CHILDREN DELUGE MARCELINE.
Marceltne, the Hippodrome clown, cele
brated his "xth" birthday yesterday at the
big playhouse, and nearly three thousand
children shook hands with him and wished
him all the happy returns of the day. Slips
were passed through the audience, and the
little ones were invited to guess Marceiine's
a pp. Those who guessed right will receive
prizes of tickets to the Hippodrome and
signed photographs of Marceline. Every
child was given a. Hippodrome Primer and
a picture of the down.

Subscription Books for Nc,rt
Season Are Now Open.
Oscar Hammerstein said yesterday that
the subscription books for the season 1910-11
at the Manhattan Opera House, comprising
twenty weeks, have been opened. They will
close on May l. He appealed to the opera
going public to support him In his efforts
to maintain competition in the opera, field
by the largest possible subscriptions.
"Notwithstanding the almost panicky con
dition which prevailed In operatic circles
during; the season now coming to a close,"
paid Mr. Hammerstein, "I have given to
my subscribers all that circumstances with
in my control permitted me to give, fulfil
ling the promises which I made.
"Hampered and interfered with by a ma
licious competition, backed by enormous
wealth, my position has been and is a mo«t
trying one. Every opportunity is grasped
by my competitors to create a state of
anarchy among my artists by offers cf
higher salaries and promises of future £d
vancement. the ulterior motive being my
elimination from the field. I hardly need
to reiterate the often made assertion that I
am not in the operatic field for monetary
gain. The record of the part 1? ample evi
dence of that."
In order to utilize the services of the
large number of singers which the presenta
tion of his productions demands. Mr. Ham
merstein announced that operas would be
given at the ruling prices during the com
ing season on Wednesday afternoons and
Thursday evening?, in addition to the regu
lar nights. Saturday, evening performances
will be at popular prices.
YESTERDAY AT THE OPERA.
"Carmen." "Lucia." "Tosca" and
"Tristan und Isolde " the Offerings.
Th°i only ev^nt of special interest in the
opera world yesterday was the appearance
at the Manhattan Opera House for the first
time in two years of Charles Dalmores In
the part of Don Jos£, in "'"armen." The
part is one of the best of this fine singer's
impersonations. He. was last night as ef
fective as ever, and the "Flower Song"
brought forth vigorous applause. Mile.
Cavalieri was th* Carmen and Mr. Du
franne. the Escamillo. "Lucia," with Mme.
Tetrazzini and Mr. McCormack and M.
Sammarco. was the opera in the afternoon.
Migs Geraldine Farrar charmed her ad
mirers once again at the Metropolitan in
thr. afternoon. Others admired her, too.
for her eourace. in essaying a role that as
yet is very much unfitted for her. But her
youth and her beauty, and her gracious
ness and her clothes— above all. her im
agination—carried the day, so that her
Tosca received Its tribute of applause.
Mr. Scotti was the Searpia and Mr. Bonci
the The evening opera was
"Tristan und Isolde." with Mme. Gadski
as the Irish princess. Mr. Burrian as
Tristan. Mme. Homer as Brangaene. Mr.
Amato as Kurvenal and Mr. Blass as
King Mark. Mr. Toscaninl showed that
German music has no terrors for his
nation.

Movement in Washington.
[From The Tribune Bureau.]
Washington, Feb. 13.— President Taft was
the principal speaker this afternoon at the
mass meeting held in Continental Hall
under the auspices of the George Wash

terest in the raising of a fund to erect a
building in commemoration of the first
President. Mr. Taft spoke in favor of the
movement, and said that he hoped that a
building would be erected i "iat "will be able
to stand a blizzard, for that seems to be
necessary in connection with an inaugu
ration." The President had in mind his
inauguration last March, when Washington
was visited by a severe storm.
When the President referred to the suf
fragists a titter went over the audience.
He said in reference to them:
"I know there are some who live in this
city and think that in some way or other
it has a local quality— that they, being
free born American citizens, ought to have
an opportunity to vote. I don't sympa
thize with that feeling at all. If they
want to vote, they ought to move over to
Man-land or Cincinnati or to some other
good Place. They ought to understand
that by living in Washington they are en
joying" a privilege which is furnished to
them at the expense of the entire nation
and that they are living in the capital
city, which la under the care, control and
direction of all the people of the United
States through their Representatives in
the House and that subservient body, the
Senate of the United States.'
TAFT PRAISES YALE SPIRIT.
Says It Is Better Now than in His
Student Days.
Washington. Feb. 19. -President Taft at

sociation at the Raleigh Hotel to-night.
He spoke on the "Spirit of Tale," which he
declared was better than in the days when
he was a student.
"The spirit of Yale to-day has a higher
tone morally than it had in my day." said
the President. "Tale to-day has a moral
tone that makes a Yale experience more
valuable to the student, and I congratulate
Tale that it is so, and the parents that
have son* to send to Yale.
".. Th(? spirit of Yale is one of endurance,
a desire to win and a willingness to rail, a
willingness to meet defeat, bat unwihing
nessto resort to^ any method that shall
taint ■what comes."
