SOt, of course. If you're In tho last seat, Ust row and haven't broUKht your spy glasses, you don't think Maud demoralizing, no matter what kind of n dancing Ameri can you are, because your point of view Is blunted by the distance. If Miss Allan had her way our cabaret dancing would bo different. Maybe It wouldn't be nt nil, but If It were wo'd all Invest In a few yards of Mesh-colored chif fon, leave our shoes nnd stockings "to home" and Just danco according to our natures, as tho pagan Greeks did. When Miss Allan first "Interpreted" Greek dancing for America, not quite a decade ago, wo were shocked. Vt'e hadn't thought that of the Orceks. nut we liked It To use our own words, she 'treated a furore." Others, like Lady Constance Etewart Itlchardson, took a couple of yards of chiffon and did tho same thing. 1'fcn ntly there wero so many barefoot. Illusion-draped dancers that we quits forgot who was stealing whoso thunder, but tboso gifted with tho kind of sight that looks back accurately say that Maud Allan In Xxmdon and Isadora Duncan In Paris were the first to "take off" tho Greeks and other things. CltlTICIZKS OlTIl DANCES Miss Allan talked to mo about the fright ful turn that dancing has taken In America. "You havo gone mad over round danc ing. You use no discrimination In your dance music and this frightful step danc ing that one sees In tho cabarets Is hideous. "yhy don't tho Blblo societies turn their attention to cabaret dancing? In New York I don't know whether this Is nlso true In Philadelphia an artist Is prohib ited from giving concerts or classical dances in a theater on Sunday, but n waddling, fat old man can take a littlo flapper to a cabaret and, hugging her body to his as Close as possible, walk around the mom to tho strains of low music. You call that dancing hero. It In frightful, demoraliz ing. It will have a bad effect on the morals ef your country." Miss Allan xpeaks of our country In a detached sort of way, although she herself was born In California of Canadian par ents. She Is Very, very English In .her view point and tastes sho admits It and very (Oreek In appearance. She has tho most beautiful neck I have ever seen. It's columnar and her head sets en It gracefully, as though It wero resting en some loely Grecian pillar. She has a classic countenance, n fine, straight nose, limpid blue-gray eyes very wide apart, and the low, broad forehead characteristic of the Grecian maids. Her legs are not ugly, as are those of most dancers, and TODAY'S FASHION .i. U 4? Smart topcoat for days that aro blustery.

Thirteen years ago." she told me. play Ing with the orchid-colored crepe flchu on her dark blue robo. "I excltrd the world with a new kind of dancing." Miss Allan's atti tude of mind toward her own achievements cannot exactly bo labeled conceited. Her manner Is rather that of one person ex pressing a nice appreciation of tho attain ments of another. "I had studied muslo In llerlln. I was taken .there when I was quite young nnd nt the ago of fourteen was .one of seven out of seenty-oeven to bo admitted to the Hoyal Academy of Music at llerlln. I was a pianist. At that academy one got In on merit. The fees were only nominal. My health broko down, though, and a year later I was taken to Italy. Thero I becamo In terested In dancing. Tho ancient Greek dances with their true dramatic force had not been given. I decided to give them. I had ancient books translated for me. I studied tho dance as It was actually danced In the early Greek days. I was tho first to give them." "And Miss Duncan?" I put In, Just to be mean. Miss Allan rose to the bait nobly. "I have great admiration for Miss Dun can's extraordinary ability," she pro nounced slowly, "but I feel she has not taken the care of herself that a great dancer should I" "You mean she has had too many chil dren?" Tho retort was quick. "Miss Duncan has become fat She has not cared for herself as she should have." "Whom do you consider the great woman dancers of today?" Miss Allan's hestttatlon reminded me of tho story about De Pachmann. A reporter naked him whom ho considered the great musicians. After much hemming and haw Ing he said "De rachmann" and then stopped. Three times he said "De Pach mann" and then said no more. But Miss Allan did not go that far. "I'll exclude myself," she said, "I ad. mire Miss Duncan, but, of course, she does not Inject the dramatic into her work as I do. Genee Is the greatest ballet dancer and Pavlowa Is admirable if you like acrobatics." I do when Palowa does them. ltArs AUD,nNCKS I.V CAST i"S?mo day your eastern audiences who rT.B H".

"Of course," nho replied nonchalantly: "why not? llut wo like to play before the I.uropean audiences; we'd almost rather Play to them for nothing." Here I held my peace. Miss Allan told ma further that she enjoyed a social pres tige in England that Is unique for a dancer, but that she does not care for society. Her homo Is In Ixnulon. where she has dogs and cats nnd n garden. No loterK. She does noe hold, with so many artists, that love affairs are necessary to the successful rounding out of a great career.
