TURKEYTROTTOD'
ROUGH FOR ROCK
Expert Dancer Declares It Is of
Low Origin and Will Not
Live Long.
"The turkey trot is too rough. It is
g dance of low origin and I don’t care
how expert or how graceful a perform
er Is he can not rob the dance of its
native grossness."
No; the speaker wasn't the presiding
elder of the Atlanta district nor the
head of the Men and Religion For
ward Movement. Ke was William Rock,
of the dancing team of Rock and Ful
ton, which is appearing at the Forsyth
this week. He scored roundly the pop
ular society “bear dance,” and said that
he would not ask his partner to put
such a dance in their repertoire.
"It's a fad dance,” said Mr. Rock,
'and for that reason will not live long
among professionals. And for the rea
son that it never has been and never
will be danced as it originated and,
therefore, exists in a modified and ex
aggerated form, it won’t last long in
society.
Few Have Seen. Real Trot.
-I doubt if the real turkey trot has
ever been seen In Atlanta. On ‘the
Barbary coast' in San Francisco some
25 or 30 years ago the longshoremen
would crowd into the resorts and dance.
Longshoremen are flat-footed natural
ly, and the fact that they were tired
would cause them to dance without
lifting their feet from the floor. This
forced all motion to their waists and
upward. That was the turkey trot. As
danced by them it was very pic
turesque. The hanger-on at these
places attempted to imitate the dance,
but he always put a certain hop into
his steps. The hop takes away all pos
sible grace from the step and makes it
look only peculiar and vulgar.
"The reason why Miss Fulton and I
don't dance, the turkey trot is because
we believe the public had rather see
truly graceful dances and pantomime
work. The dance —as danced is a lit- j
tie rough, and one could never get
away from the low origin, anyhow.”
NAMES HISTORIC BEAUTIES
IN MAINTENANCE SUIT
DENVER. COLO., July 25.—That the
astral body of her 80-year-old hus
band, Alonzo Thompson, millionaire,
goes on night excursions with such
dwellers in the spirit world as Cleo

Sappho, is the charge made in a smt
for separate maintenance filed here by
Mrs. Annie L. Thompson. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Thompson are spiritualists.
The wife admits that the husband’s
body stays home at nights, but she in
sists that his spirit is nightly “cutting
up” along the Great White Way of the
Spirit World.
When the case comes to trial Mrs.
Thompson will name women famed in
history. She will explain to the court
that her husband is nightly master of
ceremonies at gatherings where the
spirits of those women are his com
panions.

GIRL WITH “HEARTBURN”
WEDS MAN WHO CURED HER
ST. LOUIS, July 25.—“ Heartburn” is
not supposed to affect the heart in any
way, but it did in the case of Miss Mar
garet Gately. As a direct result of an
attack of heartburn, she eloped to St.
Charles and became the wife of Wil
liam B. Adams, manager of a drug
store.
About three months ago, according to
the bride’s acquaintances, she went into
a drug store to get a remedy for heart
burn. Adams happened to be the clerk
to whom she applied, and his remedy
and manner were so efficacious that
Miss Gately became Interested. So did
Adams when the petite and pretty
blond made other visits to the store.
The love-making progressed rapidly,
the marriage taking place 90 days after
the two met.

were married by a justice.
At the time of the last divorce, thir
teen months ago, Mrs. Salzman-Kienlen
told the story of her much-married life.
She married Kienlen, she declared, not
because she loved Mm, but because she
was lonesome. She told him, she said,
that she felt no affection for him, but
that she desired company.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS
GJ. SOLDIER BOYS
DOE HOME TOOM
Fifth Regiment and the Gov
ernor’s Horse Guard Break
Camp at Anniston.
•
Atlanta’s soldier boys are coming
home today.
The Fifth regiment and the Govern
or’s Horse Guard, some 600 Atlantans
in all, struck camp yesterday and began
packing up. They took trains out of
Anniston this morning and are due to
arrive here this afternoon.
That all Atlanta will hail them gladly
is not to be denied. There will be
numbers of the fair sex on hand to ad
mire the soldierly swing that John or
Tom or Harry acquired through ten
days association with the regulars, and
there will also be many a kind-hearted
boss, who let that young fellow go,
but who is glad to see him back to take
up his work again.
When the soldier boys reach the city
they will parade through town, letting
every one know that they are here, and
then, after a trip to the. armory for
final inspection, it will be the soldier
life no more, but back to offices and
shops for twelve months.
Officers of the regular army have
spoken highly of the Atlanta troops,
according to General Clifford L. An
derson, who conversed with many of
them. He considers that the ten days
of maneuvering has done the Fifth
regiment worlds of good from a mili
tary standpoint, and has done more to
bring the regiment to a unit than any
thing else could have done.

merous relatives.
CHANNEL SWIMMER

DOVER, ENGLAND, July 25—Fred
Record, the Rochester, England, swim,
mer who failed for the second time in
an attempt to swim the English chan
nel, today declared that he would have
won had it not been for a change of
tide.
“After being in the water eleven
hours,” said Record, “I had gotten eight
miles from Cape Gris Nez, France, and
would easily have made the remaining
distance had not a sudden shift in the
tide begun to sweep me back toward
the French coast.”
