THURSDAY EVENING,
TERPSICHORE IN
SPLENDID FORM
Spirit of the East Beautifully
Interpreted by Famous
Classique Dancer
Preceded, flanked and surrounded
by a finished troupe of sterling vassals
of Terpsichore, Ruth St. Denis, aided
and abetted by Ted Shawn, unjustly
termed "The Beautiful Man," undu
lated her way into the appreciation
of many tensely Interested spectators
at the Orpheum last evening. One
feels somewhat at a loss to know
where to begin In writing the praises
of this most rhymic of dancers. It
was all so wonderful, so fraught with
the sense of. a fanciful unreality, that
it was with something of a shock
that the audience was brought at the
close t to a realization that the treat
was ended. Miss St. Denis deserves
all that may be said of her In a com
plimentary way, and it is peculiarly
flattering to say that she was not
overshadowed in the least by the
splendid dancing of her company,
which In itself could have held the
delighted attention of the audience,
whose sense of motion was lulled into
pleasant dreams by the smooth un
wavering movements of the various
dances.
The spirit of the Orient, so much
talked of and so little understood,
that intangible, abstract accumulation
of the thought, religion, emotion, and
action of the East, reached the climax
of its expression in The Mystic Dance
of the Five Senses, in which native
Hindoo assistants and elaborate
scenery provided the proper setting
for Miss St. Denis' interpretation of
Daurence Hope's "Garden of Kama."
But in the "Peacock" dance she was
at her best. Here she proved most
conclusively that one need not have
any feet at all in order to dance. In
this Indian legend, the choice of
vanity rather than love, condemned
the princess lo live the life of a pea
cock, and the realistic impersonation
of the proud peacock emphasized the
famous dancer's skill to the best pos
sible advantage.
Every single minute of the melange
of dancing was full of absorbing in
terest, but there are just a few fea
tures that are worthy of mention by
reason of the enthusiasm with which
they were received. One was the
"Impromptu" dance, in which Miss
St. Denis cast aside her Oriental at
mosphere, figuratively speaking, and
gave full expression to the modern
dance as it is undoubtedly conceived
and beheld on any dance iloor to-day
by the really aesthetic dancer. The
audience howled with appreciation
and again when Claire Nlles cavorted
about in a baseball dance, throwing
the imaginary ball wildly in all di
rections and finally capturing the
game in the tenth inning with a
beautiful home run and fadeaway
slide. The crescent moon, and the
soap bubble artists, beautiful girls,
every one—we fail from lack of
Ijreath to give due appreciation to
each and every member of the com
pany which entertained us so pleas
antly. It Is fitting, perhaps, to close
this rather feeble attempt to describe
the effect which such a series of
classique dances has upon the lay
mind, by mentioning the portrayal of
"Isis and Orisis," an Egyptian dance
with Egyptian settings, in which the
dancers blended so harmoniously with
the settings that one imagined him
self gazing at inscriptions and paint
ings on some old ruined temple. We
shall certainly be glad to see you
Ruth, if you ever return this way.

(iERALDING FARHAR APPEARS THE
SK( OND TIMK AT THE IIKGKNT IX
"CARMEN," FRIDAY AMD SATIR
HAY
Owing to the many requests from
those who were ur able to view Geral
dlne Farrar in "Carmen," during the
four days when it was shown here
sometime ago, the management has de
cided to show "Carmen for a return
engagement to-morrow and Saturday.
No woman in America is better
known than Miss Farrar. From a
modest beginning her artistic ascent
has been sure, substantial and rapid,
rhtough Jesse L. L,asky Company Ger
aldine Farrar now plays to innumerable
people and a."Carmen" not one whit
less wonderful is hers of the screen
than hers of the stage. That Farrar
should give to the screen such a won
derfully acted role is the highest com
pliment to her acting ability. The
"Carmen" -eleased on the Paramount
Program is one upon which there has
betn spared nothing that might add to
its effect. The production is lavish—
it is exact. Another treat is the music
of "Carmen," played on our four-manu
al pipeorgan.—Advertisement.

To-day "The Betting Bettys," a de
lightful girlie musical comedy, will ca
cort about the Majestic stage to the
unstinted delight of all who come
within a reasonable radius of these,
clever and pretty misses. "The Betting
Bettys" is just the type of a girlie pro
duction that always linds favor with
Harrisburg theatergoers, according to
their popularity along the Keith cir
cuit. The added attraction of the bill
is the excellent comedy turn that will
be supplied by Rockwell and Wood.
Gwvnne and Gossette are a clever young
couple in breezy songs and patter; Billy
El wood, the comedy cartoonist, will
demonstrate his new and successful
idea of presenting his talent, and

No play of a generation on the legiti

no l ' entertained so many people as
James Forbes' human comedy-drama,
"Tlie Chorus Lady," which was shown
at the Regent yesterday and will he
shown to-day. In obtuining this play
for picturization the Jesse L i.asky
Company captured a prize, liy tlie very
nature of its story tlie series of inci
dents which make up tlie play lend
themselves perfectly to pictorial rep
resentation.
"The Chorus Lady" is a comedy of
life on the stage as it really exists. It
is the human quality of the story with
its humor and characterizations which
has made "The Chorus Lady" a most
popul'ir play and, ptrh&ps among the
really lew great American plays. The
temptations of the musical comedy
stage, the petty jealousies that exist be
hind the footlights and the courage of
the young women who smile across the
