cos to catch the fancy of toe curiosity
seeker after the sensational.
"After years spent in the study of all
forms of dancing, says Quigley, “I have
come to the conclusion that eccentric
dancing is the most difficult and most
artistic of them all. riccentrlc dancing
Is, at the bottom, euaracter dancing,
As to character dancing being artistic,
I believe that as the greatest acting is
found In character work, so the greatest
dancing Is found In charcter dancing.
Primarily the different dances have
their origin witii the various nations.
They Indicate as much as the music of
a people, the character of the nation
from which they spring. For Instance,
we have the Highland Fling of the
Soots, the barbarous whirling of the
Dervishes, the Indian War Dance, the
dreamy waltzes of the Soutiiern countries
and finally the sensuousenss and passion
so the Far Fast. It is Interesting to
watch the effect the different
dances will have on various audi
ences And this holds as well »or
individuals In an audience. And then
the different parts In which passion Is
the basis will appeal more strongly to
the South than to the North and while
educated Boston would enjoy the state
ly minuet. Butte, Mont., would fairly
"eat up" the free-for-all."
Brown of Harvard.
A conspicuous social product of col
lege life is Athletic sports. In the Eng
lish public school and university, the
great majority of students share active
ly In sport of some kind Pricket foot
ball. boating, tennis, each has its vo
taries, and there are few who are not
concerned In one or t.ie other of them.
In the American college those who ac
tually take part In some form of sport
are not many, but a good share of the
rest are keenly concerned In what Is
going on. Competitive athletics affords
| a constant theme of absorbing interest,
comparable only to the eager attention
given to horse racing, ot professional
j baseball by a considerable number of
ih*» general community. The chances ot
j the teams, the merits of the mdivMti il
I members, are discussed with s**st. and
the games ate attended with an excite
ment which carries all before It. Ath
letic# in the public mind has become ut
| most a synonym for coellge life.
It Is therefore quite natural that Rida
Johnston Young in her play of*Brown
of Harvard which the Sluiberts wilt
present st the Grand. matinee and
night during this month «houl<\ have
seized upon an athletic contest' as a
• Umax. The boat race scene Is doubt -
! less well remembered by all theatre
i goers, who saw the piece last season.
The cast Is composed mainly of college
men. most o» them varsity athletes In
