When Mous. Molasso introduced the Apache and French dnnce pantomime in this countrj , Miss Payne was his premiere. She quickly hecame a vaudeville star In her own right. Her dancing ability and her individuality have advanced her to the hrst rank. Those urtists who undertake to tell a story in dance, al most without exception, utilize fantastic themes. .Miss I'ayno is again n pioneer in descriptive dancing in presenting a series of dance patterns which are real character studies. Iu most part, they are travesties, but each dance tells a story distinctly.
