3THINKS SCHOOLYARDS AMPLE.
"VVIlllam . A- Steelier, director of physi
cal education In tho public schools and
a. member of the Board of Recreation,
fay:
"Asldo from nny question of legality.
I I do not believe that the closing of
i Btreets to permit clilldren to play with
out the hindrance of trafllc Is necessary
In Philadelphia. In this city there Is
nmple space. If wo will only permit tho
little folic to use It
"We .have several hundred school
yards, each of which can be used as
playgrounds by the city children. As a
matter of fact, only 20 are used as per
manent playgrounds, because the Board
ot Education has appointed supervisors
tor that number. The board Is not cer
tain that the public Is anxious thnt Its
money should be spent for the main
tenance of several hundred playgrounds.
"But If Philadelphia definitely dem
onstrates thnt It Is willing to pay for
the organized play of Its child popula
tion the board will soon appropriate
enough money to keep all of the school
yards open all of the time. I hope that
the public will at some time demand
suoh an Improvement. The schoolyards
of this city represent an Immense finan
cial Investment. As a matter of busi
ness policy, It appears to me unwise and
wasteful to use them 'for no more than
nn hour or two each day.
"The streets ore not the. Ideal place
for play. The highways were Intended
for traffia nod not for public recreation.
If we close the streets for this purpose
we may be tiding considerable harm to
the playgrounds movenent, because the
parents of the city may become satisfied
with such accommodations.
"Of course. In New York the problem
Is a different one. The majority of
schools there have no yards at all. The
entire city Is so built that even the
roofs must be used as play places; but
Jn Philadelphia, where the' space Is
available, If only the necessary legisla
tion Is obtained, such a radical move qs
i ;the 'roping off- of streets would be without
fRooxl cause."

YOUTHFUL BALLET
PLEASES AUDIENCE
BY UNUSUAL ART
Depict the Artistic Union of
Poetry, Music and Motion
at the Little Theatre.
Pupils of Mrs. King. '
Mrs. Mary Perry King, noted dance In
structress and Interpreter, presented a
novel program of "Bnllad Dances" at the
Little Theutrc yesterday afternoon. These
dances, the oldest nnd tho newest combi
nation of poetry, music and motion, re
ceived tho applause of a largo audience,
In which thero wero many society people.
Under the auspices of the Philadelphia
Physical Education Society, of which Dr.
R. Talt McKenzIo is president, Mrs. King
was able to give her program before an
appreciative assembly of persons Inter
ested In dancing-from a standpoint of In
terpretation and physical education.
The dancers, MIsm Sybil Maitland, Miss
Marian Bnllln and Miss Laurel Garcy, ore
students of Mrs. King and have been
trained by her for months. They will
go with her on her trip West this winter.
"Physical cducutlon finds motion alone Is
inadequate," said Mrs. King. "Scientific
motion, music, nnd speech, nil aro em
bodied In theso dances. The original
drama, of course, was tho ballad dance,
but It was without the accompaniment nf
music, and descriptive song, or poem.
Motion here Is accurately significant ot
thought and feeling. Tho steps and music
synchronize with tho song or story, und
blond Into one perfect thought. This Is
the ideal dance."
Tho dnncers themselves feel no re
straint In their art. In their airy grace,
their feet scarce seemed to touch the
lloor, nnd swoeplng. swaying, swinging,
they sung as they danced.
"These dances are. novel, they are real
demonstrations of what America can do.
Nothing like this has ever been done,
either hero or abroad. This Is tho only
troupe of ballet dancers anywhere In
eNlstence," said Doctor McKenzle,- who
IsShe physical director of the University
of Pennsylvania. '(Mrs. King hasfound
something absolutely distinctive on which
to apply her art. Th,ls can never bo
called an imitation of nnythlng produced
before."
Mrs. King's students are artistic ama
teurs. Dancing to them Is tho highest
form of living. They would rather dance
tlinn nnythlng they can conceive. They
dance for the love of It, for tho enthu
siasm Is great and compelling. As they
dip and sway, pirouette and bow, they
are following out tho action dt the story
they portray, with the subtlest charm
and grace imaginable.
Thev danced the "Pas de trols," the
dance' of three, dividing the action be
tween them. In a riot of music and danc
ing, In exuberance and exultation, the
theme was carried out. portraying' the,
Joves of' Pierrot, his confusion upc-n tneet
Ing two rpaldena at the same time, how
they dalljed with him, tilrted, and finally
how they left .In one embrace.
The "pas de trols" Is the newest thing
In dancing. 'The book from which it wus
taken, "Earth Deities," by Dllss Carman
and Mary Perry King, Is being released
by the publishers today, and when shown
was a novelty of whlqh none knew. Doc
tor Mcltenile nnd Mrs. King were unani
mous In thinking this will revolution
ize all conventional or unconventional
dances. ,
Tho first number was "The Enchan
tress." This was a. pastoral -dance, show
ing the spirit o( the blossoms, with a
faun In pursuit- Another ilance, "An
Idyl," showed the shepherd and his shep
herdess and their Jove. 'The "Shadow
Pance," a sqlo by Miss Carey, was a
dance of -a'nyniph and her shadow.
Miss Dorothy Hoyle, a talented "Voung
artiste, played the violin for th dancers,
She 'was accompanied, by Mlsa Kmelle
Harforil.hf so'ngstress. at: the piano.

account of a quarantine placed on tho an
nual Joint hunt at the Harford Hunt

David H. Lane, Hepubllcan city chair
man, yesterday spoke vigorously against
tho abolition of the two-branch system
of Councils.
"I am opposed both to the reduction In
numbers nnd to tho elimination of orte
chamber," he said. "I believe In the
larscst representation that Is possible In
a deliberative body. Every element .In
tho community, social, business, religious
and racial, should be recognized. I nm
In favor of Pcctlonn) representation. I
nm opposed to the abolition, of tho smnll
wards In the old city of Philadelphia.
Tho agitation by the wards constituting
that locality In tho consolidation period
was that tho outlying districts would out
grow them In numbers and that their rep
resentation therefore would bo minimized.
"The tacit understanding was that the
Integrity of the wards should not be dis
turbed so that each ward Would havo
representation In Select Council. Tha
enormous revenues derived from the old
wards have been used for the Improve
ment of the outlying wards. If they had
refused to enter Into consolidation with
their great amount of real and personal
properties, their tax would havo amounted
to practically zero. Wo are In honor
bound to abide by that obligation."
State Senator-eleqt Edward W. Patton
last nlgjit described the Bullitt bill as
"tho worst curse Philadelphia has." Mr.
