"DANCER DEFENDS
' HER ART AS AID
TO ROBUST HEALTH
Violet Zell Argues in Behalf
, of Exercise Which She
Says Has Tonic Effect if
; Not Overdone.
"Alt honlthy people should dance the
modern dances. Danclnff prolonRS life;
It cures nervousness, It makes one grace
ful and, above all, It makes people nat
ural, which In man caies counts far
more than beauty,' said Miss Violet Zell,
ttho has delighted theatregoers with her
uelnl exhibition of "modern dancing
burlesque" In "Chln-Chln," nt the For
rest Theatre.
Miss 55ell Is considered an authority on
dancing by members of the theatrical
profession. Sho has danced virtually all
her life, and she has succeeded In mak
ing a suitable partner for Fred Stone,
and that Is "going some," ns one of tho
profession put It.
Weighing only 95 pounds Miss Zell
dances as If her limbs w.ere made of
India rubber. Fred Stone In tho "Dance
Poetlque" throws her over his shoulder
and finally falls over her and people
wonder that Bhe does not break In two.
Sho appears ns Fan Tan mid besides
many ncrobatlc "stunts" her perform
once Is wonderful In many respects.
Miss Zell said jesterday that sho had
never been sick a day of her life and al
though she "knocked wood" as sho said
It, she attributes her remarkably good
health to dancing.
DANCING AQ A TONIC.
"In the first plaoe," she said, "dancing
keeps down the weight. Of course, every
one knows that, but I do not think that
It makes one thin. It may at first, but,
like any other healthful exerclso. It acts
as a tonic and keeps ono In fine condi
tion, both montally and physically, and
keeps the weight down to Just where It
should be.
"Dancing Is a natural Instinct. Some
of the modern dances nre practically tho
kind our primitive forefathers danced,
and after all they are natural, and being
natural. It Is only natural that they
should be beneficial.
"The modern dances make one graceful,
there Is no doubt of that. When you
think of It, all people should be grace
ful We all start with enual chances.
nnd Is there anything moro graceful than
an Infant7 In youth we are all graceful,
so to Bpeak, and clumsiness Is an ac
quired habit that may come from many
sources. Will power and determination
can make every one graceful, nnd danc
ing can bo of tho greatest help to the
will power In reaching tho desired goal.
"Many people are ungraceful through
self-consclousness or nervousness. We nil
know tho pretty girl who looks like a
doll, and we also know that there Is
nothing graceful about a doll. The good
dancer should relax nnd become per
fectly natural, and If the true spirit of the
dance is reached any affectation will dis
appear. TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING.
"All healthy people should dance
those with weak hearts and other af
flictions should see a doctor, but danc
ing Is, -without a doubt, the rxst kind of
exercise that there Is. Of course, like
everything else. It can Iia nirnrHnn. c
clety girls and others who dance morn
ing, noon nnd night. In other words, girls
who really have the craze to the extent
that they want to be dancing all the time,
ore really doing a very foolish thing.
That Is, if they dance to excess.
"Girls who dance continually run tho
danger of having their bunion Joints en
larged nnd you know how ugly a Bwollen
bunion Joint can make the foot look.
Moderate dancing mny enlarge the feet
slightly, but that Is quite natural.
DANCERS LONG-LIVED.
"Dancers llvo longer than other peo
ple, I think. I remember an old lady
who taught me. I have heard that she
was an old woman moro than 20 years
ago, and she must be nenr SO. Even to
day she can do the most graceful steps.
Many famous dancers have lled to a
very old age.
"Society people who really have the
dance craze should take plenty of sleep.
Dancing puts one In such good physical
condition that we get to the stage where
we no longer feel tired. Nevertheless,
plenty of s'eep Is absolutely necessary.
Theatrical people seem to keop their
youth longer than others. That Is a
well-known fact, and goodness knows
they have to work hard enough at that.

THEY CALL HER THE INDIA RUBBER GIRL
She is Violet Zell. She is 19 years old and as light as a feather. She is
tossed about until you imagine you can hear the bones cracking, but she
comes out of the rough Chin-Chin dance unruffled.
The secret Is that they tnko good care
of themselves, they take plenty of eleop,
and the constant use of cosmetics or
'make-up,' through the constant massag
ing, helps to keep tho skin fresh and
clear. There Is no need to mention LI1
llanRusscl and n. few others.
FOOTWEAR AND-GOWNS.
"For the ballroom I would ndvlee girls
to wear medium-high French heels. They
look so much better than low hcejB, nnd
after all we nil try to look as pretty ns
we can. High shoes are to be recom
mended whenever It Is possible to wear
thorn. The support they glvo the ankles
Is very beneficial, and I see no reason
why thoy should not be worn nt after
noon teas.
"Massage Is a great thing for the legs
nnd ankles, nnd I would advise girls to
use wltchhazel or alcohol. Personally I
always use witch hazel. Tight corsets
are undoubtedly Injurious, and all the
more so when the wearer wants to dance.
I think the elastic gowns are great things,
as there seems to be Just enough pressure
to make one comfortnble.
"One thing alt dancers should learn, and
that Is to breathe properly. There Is nd
reason why dancing should mnke one out
of breath, that Is, as soon as wo have
done enough of it I would not go so
far as to say that the 'tango breath' will
be the latest thing In the modern dancing
line"
