"in The Land of ’Make Believe!
By WALTER D. HICK MA N
Do legs come under the subject of
art?
That’s a question which seems to have
been answered In the affirmative by a
number of producers who are grinding
out revues at a feverish rate. Ofteu a
revue reminds one of a bathing bench on
a crowded Sunday afternoon. Sr me re
ue makers are not only liberal . Ith the
exposure of the hosiery worn by the
chorus, but they often call in the visible
assets of a barefooted, dancer, put n
few beads and a dim lrght on ber and
then tell her to cavort as violently as
possible without scattering the beads.
This Is all presented under the camou
flage of art and the art beautiful. Pho
tographs of the darfeer In question are
lavishly displayed In some revues and
the producers grin with satisfaction
when the money of the "art lovers" be
gins to roll Into the box office. "How
the public must love art,” chuckles the
revue producer, and he begins planning
hi# show for next season with more
"art" risible than ever.
Mr. Florenz Zlcgfeid has mastered the
trick of Inoffensively giving the public
a glimpse of the art of hosiery. He
knows when to stop and his revues
stand at the very pinnacle. Hl* dres.
makers know where to pin a drapery and
where to allow the Imagination to start
to work. The hosiery It as thin as cob
web*, but there is hosiery in the Follies.
Other producers have not b en so sue
cessful In reflecting art. Bnm rely
npon one dancer to reflect her "art” by
prancing and wiggling on n dlml)
lighted stage. Tile word "Oriental" 1
probably the most imposed upon In the
English language. They seem to think
thnt "Oriental" means one wiggle after
another. The *b#t nee of tights mas
give the dinners more freedom of move
ment, but for ninny tnorth i have failed
to see much "poetry of motion” In some
of these so-called barefooted dancers. If
the pltter patter of a dancer's bare
tootsies on a f.oor Is *•• essential to the
uplift of art, It 1* then high time that
the city councils all over th land he
come art lover* nnd pass an ordinance
creating a public promenade where the
Ice man and the barber, the newspaper
man and the chauffeur and all other*
may cavort about In the li. V. p.'s and
■orklras sees
The average bare foot In a revne I*
Placed there fop its commercial value hs
, a magnet to litre | enple Into the theater
under the gulae o’ art. I ant referring
to no particular dancer, but 1 have never
yet seen a revue that con and not eurll;
dispose of the bare tootsie* of tin
dancers.
If the revue producer wants to give
lus art, then let him give u* dancers like

' or “The Dance of the Bea."

Hrs. Housewife ,
Do You Know?
Throe questions a day for the house
w Ife.
1. How to account for the charseteris
; tic flavors of different fruits?
2. What sort of sugnr should be se
lected for cake-making?
3. How to prevent covered stationary
washtubs from acquiring an offensive
j odor?
(These questions will be answered to
morrow by the Housewife.)
YESTERDAY'S QUESTIONS.
1. According to authorities of the De
partment of Agriculture there is no war
rant for the statement that celery is u
; nerve food, “nnd the belief is probably
a survival of the time when specific vir
tues were attributed to almost all plants
and vegetables.”
2. Pan broiling is done in a frying pan,
bttt the result is more like broiling than
frying or sauteing. The pan should be
greased to keep meat from sticking. It
should be very hot to begin with and
meat should be turned every ten counts.
S. The best way to keep the kitchen
sink drain from stopping is to flush with
hot water with a little ammonia or
washing soda every day or two.—Copy
right, 1920.

movie favorites as well as of those
who seek to be favorites will be seen
on the local screen next week.

screen offerings will be Alice Brady
in “The New York Idea;” Claire An

The supporting casts of the stars is
heavy on the names. Most of the

or reflect comedy situations.
-|- -I- -|.
"The New York Idea,” a satirical com
edy treating with hasty marriage and
equally hasty divorce, will be presented
at the Alhambra the first half of next
week with Alice Brady as the star in a
role originally played on the stage by
Slinnie Maddern Fiske. Langdon Mitchell
wrote the play ot a time when divorce
was the popular diversion of society folk
in New York City.
The story is in nowise a preachment,
; nor has the author offered a remedy. He
i has simply taken, as examples, a group
|of New Yorkers who look upon marriage
i lightly and who seek an escape from Its
1 bonds whenever the mood strikes them.
The chief characters in the picture are
i Cynthia liarslake and her divorced bus- ;
band John, whom she left because she
| did not like hi* Indifference In the matter
•of dress. A large cast Including Lowc'.l
i Sherman, George Howell, Margaret Lln
