A candidate In The Herald $2.".,n00
voting contest walked Into the contesl
department yesterday and In the course
of conversation made the remark that
she was paying no attention to any
thing but h< r campaign of \ ote .^ettiiiß.
"I am just going ahead, doing my
best eai'h day: easting a club when I
pet it. or as ninny votes as I gel i
few 'lass, and feel that I am acting
most sensibly by maintaining this at
titude."
RIGHT KINO OF M'lltlT
This is the kind of spirit that will
make a candidate successful, for "the
race i.s not to the swift, Imt to the
steady." Reviewing the past three
■weeks of the contest leads to some in
teresting findings. If you are a candi
date in The Herald $26,000 voting con
test it is necessary that yon stop to ask
yourself at this time: "Am 1 doing my
very best?" You should consider that,
inasmuch as you are a candidate, you
should put fortli every effort to be
successful. Success is nothing mow
than starting out to do a thing, and
doing it; Candidates who arc taking
part in this contest should be in for
no other reason than to win, and win
ning is merely a matter of doing your
very best all the time.
TWO MONTHS VF.T
The contest lias still two months to
run, and during that time tens of
thousands of votes are going to lie cast
for these candidates. It is up to you
to get your share of this support. The
harder you try the more support you
Will Ret; because people who are going
to vote will want to make then- votes
do the most good. Unless you are act
ive, and showing your determination,
you can hardly expeel i pie to become
thoroughly Interested in your candi
dacy. On the other hand, if you will
show a determination to win, they
cannot help be Interested in your can
didacy.

The American Movement in Dancing
MRS. RICHARD HOVEY
[T] HHKIC American girls have revolu
t ion I ted iinj art of dancing in all
•*• Europe iiini America—Maud Al
lan, whose name wu tirst. associated
with the "Salome Dance" and whoae
Cam* began In England; Isadora Dun
tan, who made her greatest early suc
cess in Germany in Greek dances, and
Ruth St. Denlß, whose oriental relig
ious dances have made world fame.
Maud Allan, who is a California giri,
wishes to ultimate In motion the desire
she has. in common with many, to
move at tin emotion caused by the
music suggests. Isadora Duncan, from
New York, studied the attitudes of
figures on Greek vases, and at lirst had
her dances accompanied by a lecture
on Greek arl given by a learned pro
fessor. Ruth St. Denis, a New Jersey
girl, reports herself as having studied
the movements of the animals kept In
the nark in New York. These three
American irirls, just now at the top
of a wave Of publicity with the eyes
of the world upon them, are, by conse
quence, leaders In a great movement
in which many others are doing- danc
ing that is akin, equally good and
often In some respects better. Mary
King is now lecturing In -New York
and Illustrating her lectures by dances
done by girls of selected talent who
Illustrate sometimes poems, sometimes
music, sometimes B theme. Ladles Of
y on both sides of the Atlantic
are dancing as beautifully in less pub
lic places.
All these dancers, unless they have
been deaf, dumb and blind, have been
influenced by the Delsartlan movement
which has c*rrled the study of grace
th.*ough most of the .schools of this
country and through the drawing-rooms
of the great cities, American and Kng
llsh. The whole great movement
toward the study of grace and expres
sion began in the discovery of a few
laws by one Delsarte In Paris In the
middle "of the last century.
The rediscovery by Puritan America
of the value of a strong, active body.
In the revival of gymnastics ami
games, prepared the way, and the
grace study brought us to the "new
dancing." which the New York critics
have wisely called dramatic dancing.
Some of it might, be called poetic
dancing. Certainly Los Angeles haa of
late seen some most poetic dancing.
This, however, is only a beginning of
what may be done In a comparatively
new realm and what will be done.
There was a few years ago in Ger
many a dancer called Marie, who held
the eye of all Germany. Her dances
were more humanly expressive, and
hence, in one sense, greater than the
dam • s mentioned above. She, by the
way. was said to be hypnotized by the
professor who accompanied her, a kind
of Svengali-Trllby performance.
Whether or not this was so, the same
thing can be and has been done with
out hypnotism by others. In this di
rection the growth of the new art will
advance in future. Any emotion,
thought or passion can be made the
theme upon which a poetical dramatic
nature can improvise the most ex
quisite things. A little conventionaliza
tion. Just a- decorative art convention
alizes a flower, can develop a dancp
from any theme. An artist can invent
tie ge dances a dozen a day.
A trained organism becomes sensi
tive to the emotional imagination, as
that of the genius sometimes is with
out training, and only art knowledge
of the laws of conventionalization arer
! to supplement the dramatic Im
pulses.
Previous to this new movement danc
ing had I n so over-conventionalized
thai it had mostly lost human interest,
or it had been .so exclusively confined
to foot action as to be unpleasantly
sensual in its expression. In America.
where the new dancing- is born, the in
f rest in dancing was less than in any
other country. Even these three Amer
ican r;irls had to find their first great
< abroad. From London, Berlin
and i-'t. Petersburg they came back to
New York and Loa Angeles—Duncan
first. Allan next; St. Denis probably is
still abroad. She was already engaged
in Berlin when a theater manager went
abroad last year to engage her for |
Ni w York, where she had previously
begun in clubs or by hiring a theater
herself In which to give her trial mati
nees.
The new dancing has only begun, j
Polk dancing is already beginning In
the schools. In fact the Greek dances
of Miss Allan would be mere folk
dancing if they were not Improvisa
tions. As H is, they are Greek in cos
tume chiefly, it Is really American
dancing; it la Allan dancing. If some
of the attitudes are copied from Greek
picturing or statuary, so much the
worse for the dancer and for the art,
for Imitation Is the least wholesome
and productive of methods.

cular letti i to the various civic bodies
of Los Angeles, plai inj; before them
the Minis and scope of the proposed
world* fair at San Diego in 1915, and
has received extremely favorable re
plles, sayß the committee, from the
I ni'ii of l.i s Angi les.
The letter sent to the chambi r of
ni ree and other bodies of Los An
geles is interesting in that it clearly
defines the position of San Diego, em
phasizes the determination of the
southern city to hold the Panama lair,
and outlines generally the plans for
this gigantic undertaking. The letter
is self-explanatory, and Is as follows;
Recognizing the need for putting San
Diego's position fully before you, the
following considerations are submitted,
it is confidently believed that tln-.se
plans win be indorsed wrtien you know
just what they are.
The Panama-California exposition
will be held In San Diego In nan. This
Is settled, But there seems to bi Rome
misunderstanding us to exactly what
Is proposed. San Diego does not pro
pose to hold a world's fair. She! does
mean to have mi International exposi-
ion. By "International" it is meant
to Include" "in- Ide of the United States,
only I.aim America and the countries
bordering on the Pacific.
DOESN'T INTERFERE
There Is, therefore, nothing in San
Diego's plans to interfere with the
holding of ii world's fair in Ban Fran
cisco. All that san Diego asks .is fed
eral recognition of her project (so that
the foreign governments Included in her
limited program may he officially In
vited); and an appropriation ffcdcral

tion on that great green background

But there arc cither forms of beauty.
There are other moods of joy. There
are a thousand other dancers to come,
each singing a new motion song. Beau
tiful rags and scenery have long in Id
the stage, The theater is differentiat
ing as all art must do in a growing
people. The spectacular drama is be- I
ing dragged out of doors, where it be- j
longs, and is now called pageantry.
The human being is hit In the public
eye and begins the new movement with !
one little moving figure in the midst ;
of a great green expanse I nine an on
the full-sized green carpeted and hung
stage of the Metropolitan opera house-
In New Ymk or Allan alone on the

Others will come. A new movement
is sweeping the world, and as much as

world is ;. better place than ancient
Greece, so much greater than Greek
dancing w ill be the modem product of j
dramatic dancing. The soul of man
will play upon the human organism in
ever differentiating and ever grander
eloquence, just as the composers of
ages have produced a richer music i
than Hi.- Gregorian plain song.
"We have, we Americans, and particu
larly we of the southland, the same
lithe limbs the Greeks had. the same
number of muscles and bonei and
nerves, and we have a richer heart ex
perience to express In the arts. We
have more people who think, we have
greater development of the dramatic
passions for the arts to mirror, and
best of all, we have for the good of the
arts the science of expression as basis
of study in developing an art, just as
we have the noun sciences with
which to deal with the material world.
The first rippling wave •>( the great
tide of the new expressive dancing
blessed our eyes as it pas-ed over the
Auditorium stage and we call it Maud
Allan and our own art, "The New
Dancing."
Maud Allan we have all seen; she
has greatest invention of all the promi
nent dancers, albeit Invention over a
very narrow scale of notes. She pre
sents perhaps the truest Impression of
the meaning of the musical accompa
niments. Duncan, however, rose to a
physical, vital, not sensual, exaltation
In her Bacchante dance, and carried the
audience with her to an enthusiasiasm
that .Miss Allan docs not reach. For a
few minutes Duncan gave the apotheo
sis of rhythm.
St. Denis, moreover, gives some
rhythm of the whole body, melodious
motion from head to foot, or from foot
to head, that as beauty of body worlc
and magnetic truth of bodily rhythm
distinguished from the musical beat of
tin- accompaniment and technical diffi
culty, and beauty far beyond any one
movement by either of the other two
dancers in question. Thus one sees
that no one of these three has the
whole gamut of idealized bodily action.
Aliss Allan this week in Ijos Angeles
used perhaps 10 per cent of the funda
mental motion themes the body pre
sent:; for the dancer's use, but not 1 per
cent of what can lie and therefore will
li" done in conventionalized, idealized
expression in what is perhaps best
called the new dramatic dancing.
In lectures and teaching for a. past
decade or two or three an esthetic ex
erclse has been proclaimed and used.
The exercises referred to are bo close
to nature that their repetition breeds
impulse and leads to an instinctive im
provisatlon. This improvisation, draw-
Ing on inherited tendencies, produces
inspiration to acting, dancing, personal
expression and personal culture in
many directions. These newly discov
ered laws of expression in the body it
self were first found useful to the ac
tor, but It might have been more help
ful to the race had they gone first
into that education which prepares the
body for skilled labor instead of wait-
Ing to appeal through the mind and
Of beauty to the motional activ
ity, to the deeds and ordinary acts of
work.
The new dancnig is but a part of a
great coming of Intelligence In all the

planted rules, freedom will be every
where productive of Impulse.
$1,000. la about to lie obtained by
a city bond issue; and only $1,000,000
more is asked from outside.
Another fact not generally under
stood is this: San Diego does not in
tend to have the usual comprehensive
exhibition of the world's achievements
in the domains of manufacture, the in
dustrial and liberal arts, and the mul
titudinous accomplishments of inven
tion and handicraft. It is proposed
principally to demonstrate the oppor
tunities and to exploit the natural re
sources of the coast and of such coun
tries as will be most directly and po
tently affected by the Panama canal.
Not the time-honored show-case dis
play of finished products, but a unique
exhibition of all that is typically local
in the way of possibilities and their
significance to the capitalist and the
settler this is What San Diego means
to have And San Diego rightly claims
that for the holding of such an expo
sition as this, San Diego Is the "log
ical" place.
NO CACHE FOR HOW
i
It is felt that the above considera
tions fully establish the fact that there
is really no reason for any conflict of
interest between San Diego and any
city wishing to hold a "world's fair"
of the usual character and scope. San
Diego has no desire to hold such a
fair, It may very properly be argued
that a world's fair, calling for Immense
"machinery halls," "art buildings" and
league after league of showcases for
manufactured articles, necessitating
perhaps from $25,000,000 to $40,000,000,
should never be attempted anywhere
but in a large metropolitan city. But
for such a unique educational exhibi
tion as San Diego has decided to have
—with its out-of-doors demonstration
of native and typical life, Irrigation
and other developing processes, agri
cultural, mineral and all Indigenous
features—San Diego is certainly not
only the logical, but the only place
v here sui h a show could be adequately
carried out at all. In San Diego, for
twelve months in the year, It can and
will be carried out.
Therefore, San Diego trusts that you
will support her position and work for
the success or the Panama-California
exposition in 1915.
