Mnybe Ihnt looks like all the dramatic
criticism "I.ady Luxury" needs or can
stand. Hut devotion to tho reader and
playgoer demnnds n, few more explana
tions. Ono of them Is that the gentlemnn from
Tcxn? converts Miss Van Cuyler from her
mad expedition Into luxury and tangoe"
On her 21st birthday, nnd marries her.
Another Is that the musical piece nt the
l.yrle hnsn't nn ounco of comedy In It.
Here's Its lono Joke; "I never read the
papers. I'm a Progressive." The rest of
the humor of this comedian-less
piece consists of puns like mistaking "her
suite" for "her sweet" (some ono she Is
In love with, you know), the soit of
thliiK-i the actor laughs at himself to put
tho audience on the right track.
And yet this Is a pretty harsh trounc
ing for so well-meaning a piece ns "Ladv
Luxury." It certainly has no vices buf
dulncss. It Is unusually clean-minded.
It recognizes Intelligence In the audience,
even If ft can't satisfy It. The story Is
consistent and continuous The music Is
far from obvious. The whole ntmosphero
of ihe plcco Is one of evident endeavor
on honest attempt to make a dainty, in
telligent musical comedy. Unfortunately
the author has been trying to make
dramatic bricks out of tho paving ma
terial of Hades. "Lady Luxury" is sim
ply uninspired.

and How to Perform Them, which ap

living dance.r, but the, greatest living
authority on the art of the dance.
By ANNA PAVOLOWA
AIITICUE X.
The fourth flguro of tho Palownnn Is
one of tho prettiest In tho entire dance.
It follows the walk-around, la which
there nro two salutations. And In Its
execution tho dancers have need for a
nice Judgment of distance and a well
controlled polso of their bodies.
Oil the first count of the music the lady
places lier upraised right hand In that
of her cavalier who tnkes It ns ho slight
ly stamps the hcol of his right foot nnd
places hi8 left hand upon that of his
lady, which It resting upon her left hip.
The cavalier Is somewhat beyond his
partner, tho weight of his body resting
on his right leg, his left being; extended
behind him; the balanco being thus con
trolled by the right feet. Tho evolution
of this figure consumes four counts, with
a supplemental portion of four more In
which the cavalier and his lady progress
Into position preparing them for the fifth
figure.
In detail, figure four, which wo are
now considering, starts with the lady
moving forward and to her left for the.
purpose of describing nn under-arm circle.
On count one she permits her right hand
to be taken by her partner and as he
stamps his heel she starts' the turn under
her own upraised right arm and that of
her cavalier.
The lady takes her first step on her
right foot.a short step which, for the
woman of average height, should not be
much longer than six Inches. The step
with the left foot, which comes on count
"two," Is probably not more than two
Inches, and consists of a shifting of the
foot In an aro to tha left to permit the
further turning of the body. As tha lady
more nearly completes the circle In her
movements, she must manipulate her ele
vated right arm and hand In a manner
that will enable her to progress with
freedom. This, she will find, can be ac
complished by slightly lowering the arm
and carrying It a trifle backward on the
second count.
When the third count arrives she will
be aufflolently beyond the difficult point
in the evolution of the figure to cause no
difficulty In proceeding under her up
raised arm. On this count the step s
with tho right foot, and again It Is In
slgnllrant In distance. It Is more a shift
ing of its position, a little forward and
to tho left. ,
The concluding step In this turning fig
ure, for the lady, la the extending of her
left foot to that side of her body, and a
few Inches backward, placing tha toe
upon the floor, At the same time she
turns her face toward her cavalier.
Throughout the evolution of the "un
derrarm turn" by the lady Jhe cavalier
has no steps to take. It Is his duty to
assist hla partner, by steadying her up-

lion ever, to move Ills torso slightly for
ward nnd lo his right as the lutly more
nearly completes her turn.
Tho conclusion of tho first four counts
brings thn dancers into position where
they release their right hands and pro
paro for the supplemental part of tho
flguro mentioned In paragraph three of
this article. On count "live" the cava
lier releases his lady's elevated right
hand nnd removes his left hand from
the buck of the left hnnd of his part
ner. These movements by the cavalier are
accompanied, on the "five" count, by, a
very slight step forward and to tho left
on tho left foot. Mennwhtle tho lady
continues her turn to tho left, which she
accomplishes on the ball of her right
foot, and on the count of "five" com
ing with her partner Into an "open"
position, side by side. This position calls
for tho cavalier to take with his right
hand the rulsed right hand of his lady,
which extends In a lino Just beyond his
face, and to place his left arm about his
partner's waist, the left hand resting on
her left hip.
In this position, which is completed by
tho lady placing her left hand upon that
of her cavalier, the dancers take a Btep
with their right feet on count of "six,"
short nnd of stntely character. On count
"seven" tho lady takes a long stride on
tho left foot and to her right. It must
he a step that will enable her to suing
In a qunrter-clrcio so that on the fourth
count she may, by aguln turning the
same distance, bo brought Into a position
facing her cavalier, who meanwhile has
not changed his lino of direction.
On count "seven" then, the lady takes
her step nnd moves away from her part
ner; but ho still retains her right hand
with his own, being careful to assist her
In lowering It as she makes the turn.
The cavalier takes no step whatsoever on
this count, nor on the "eighth" and last
count, save to carry the Instep of his
right foot to the toe of his left. The lady,
on the comit of "eight," moves her right
foot so that It extends before her, sup
porting the weight of her body principally
with her left foot.

Changes In Editorial Policy
Occasionally there will come n sudden
chango of policy In one or more of the
editorial offices of rriotlon-plcturo manu
facturing companies. Then it is that all
tho other editors sit up anil ,take notice
and endeavor lo ascertain Just what the
other fellow Is up to. Originality Is
at a premium In Filmland, One company
will film a number of comedies nlong nn
unusual lino nnd others will Immediately
follow suit providing the new lino of stuff
captures the public's fancy. Tnko the old
burlesque comedies of slap-stick persua
sion, for example. When they Ilrst up
pearcd sevcrnl years ago they Incited the
laughter of the motion-picture theatre
audiences. Immediately thero was a
scramble on the part of other companies
to go and do likewise. The result was
that there was an avalanche of Impossi
ble buffoonery released to Filmland's
markets. Sumo few motion-picture con
cerns, notably the Sellg Poll scope Com
pany avoided an overproduction of this
class of film comedy, but tho others re
leased the slap-stick stuff In great quan
tities, Last week one of tho Eastern film con
cerns, very prollflo In this class of com
edy, burned up all tho burlesque comedy
scripts In the safe, threw away tho hun
dred or more canned slap-slick dramas on
the shelves In the vault, und disbanded
the half dozen companies It has employed
to produce the knock-down-and-drag-out
atuff. The company announced that the
public, In Its opinion, had had enough,
and that they were goinir in for a higher
type of comedy. And now comes the
shift In policies. Other concerns are also
turning to refined comedy, and It will not
be long before the public Is given Biir
cease from the comedy "chases" of the
present.

'MOTHER BLACKED .
JULIET'S EYE SAYS
BREITPM MAID
"My Wife Still Loves Me,"
Declares Gardener-Chauffeur
in His $250,000
Alienation Suit.
NEW TORK, Feb. It. -"I love Juliet
still. I believe Juliet still loves me. I'd
be glad to take her buck and make a.
home for her, and I believe she would
come If It wero not for her1 mother.
"Mrs. Brellung Is the one who Is keep
ing her daughter away from me. I think
her father would give his consent If it
were not for Mrs. Brellung."
Max Klelst, gardener and chauffeur. In
these words today put all the blame for
hla marital troubles on his mother-tu-law,
Mrs. Kdward V. BreltUng, wife of the
owner of the steamship Dacla. Klelst Is
suing Mr. und Mrs. Brellung for $230,000
because, he alleges, (hey alienated hlc
wife's affections.
"Juliet always told mo that she would
like nothing better than to live In a lit
tle flat," he said, "where we could love
each other to our hearts' content. That
Is Just what I would like now. T wb'uld
be glr.d to tnke her to a flat non, nild
I am fully able to care for her. Iter
rather lies millions of dollars and I
haven't a cent, so to ftpealc. But It Is
not his money, It Is my wife I want. 1
don't suppose I wilt get a cent out .of
this suit, but If I get vindication I will
bo satisfied."
"MOTHER BLACKED JULIET'S IETE."
The first witness today was Ada Gart
ner, a maid employed by the Breltungs.
Her testimony wns both startling and
amusing. She said that Mrs. Breltupg
and her daughter frequently quarreled
over Klelst and finally came to a physical
encounter.
"Mrs. Breltung had one torn shirt
waist; Miss Juliet had one torn ehlrt
walst, and MIbh Juliet had. one black eye,,"
said the maid with precision.
"Miss Juliet had mo Introduce Max to
her at Marquette, Mich.," continued the
maid. "She told mo she liked his loeks
and sho ran out on tho lawn ono morn
ing when I was talking to Max. After
thnt I used to carry notes she wrote to
Max.
"She said ho was a nlco boy that she
loved him that he was just tho kind ,of
a boy she wnnted to marry. She said
sho never would marry a man her mother
would choose. Mrs. Breltung told Miss
Juliet sho would never let her live with
a man that took care of cows. She said
sho ought to have made a 'better -match.
FATHER'S ULTIMATUM.
Mr. Breltung said she could take tier
choice she could let him eend Max 'down
to the mines In New Mexico tn work for
six months to see whether ho was -any
good, or she could go to Max at once. If
she did that, Mr. Breltung said he would
havo Max arrested for nonsupport.
Miss Gartner admitted that Bhe some
times shared In "marshmallow parties"'
with Max nnd Juliet. She denied, how
ever, that Max ever had come to the
Breltung house at night to see Juliet
after Mrs. Breltung had retired.
Attorneys for Idlest rested their case
this afternoon without calling- Miss
Breltung to the Btand. De Lnnccy Kfcholl.
attorriSV for Mr. Breltung, at once moved
a"disml8s'at"of the suit.
