'Peg O' My Heart’ Is
Noise, Says Judge
BOSTON, Dec. 19. -Judge Murray,
of the Municipal Court, has decided
that "Peg o’ My Heart,” played on a
"fluiaphone” on the street, is noise.
Following his decision, he fined Dol
phin Ploud, who played the selection
for him, $3.
There is tangoing and tangoing.
This much Atlanta society has
learned in the brief time that Miss
Donna Bain has been giving exposi
tions of the modern dance steps at
the Piedmont Driving Club.
Dancing, of course, is not a diver
sion with Miss Bain. It is a profes
sion. Cor sequently, it is not surpris
ing that she glides and dips and floats
about a ballroom floor with consid
erably mere airi.iess and grace than
the mere amateur.
Young society women—and the
young men as well—have been great
ly impressed by the dances shown by
Miss Bain. They have wondered that .
there could be so much difference In
the tango as it commonly is danced
at all of the society functions and as
it is demonstrated by this young
woman whose home was in Atlanta
until.six years ago, when she went to
New York and then abroad to make a
close study of the various dances of
the world
The tango, for example, Miss Bain
dances with a rhythm and grace that
takes away from her interpretation of
it the suggestion of a calisthenic ex
ercise or a drill that a studied pre
cision ordinarily gives a dance step, j
Miss Bain is precise. There is no
question about that. Those w ho sit at j
her feet to learn find that she insists
upon doing it “Just so.” But while
she is a stickler for the fundamental
principles of the dance, she lays just
as much emphasis on the grace that
must accompany all of the dance ,
movements.
That tile combination of grace and \
precision works toward the best pos- !
sihle result Miss Bain establishes I
quite convincingly by her own danc- j
ing. She will continue at the Pied
mont Driving Club until December 27. !
