"in The Land of ’Make Believe! By WALTER D. HICK MA N

Do legs come under the subject of art? That’s a question which seems to have been answered In the affirmative by a number of producers who are grinding out revues at a feverish rate. Ofteu a revue reminds one of a bathing bench on a crowded Sunday afternoon. Sr me reue makers are not only liberal . Ith the exposure of the hosiery worn by the chorus, but they often call in the visible assets of a barefooted, dancer, put n few beads and a dim lrght on ber and then tell her to cavort as violently as possible without scattering the beads. This Is all presented under the camouflage of art and the art beautiful. Photographs of the darfeer In question are lavishly displayed In some revues and the producers grin with satisfaction when the money of the "art lovers" begins to roll Into the box office. "How the public must love art,” chuckles the revue producer, and he begins planning hi# show for next season with more "art" risible than ever. Mr. Florenz Zlcgfeid has mastered the trick of Inoffensively giving the public a glimpse of the art of hosiery. He knows when to stop and his revues stand at the very pinnacle. Hl* dres. makers know where to pin a drapery and where to allow the Imagination to start to work. The hosiery It as thin as cob web*, but there is hosiery in the Follies. Other producers have not b en so sue cessful In reflecting art. Bnm rely npon one dancer to reflect her "art” by prancing and wiggling on n dlml) lighted stage. Tile word "Oriental" 1 probably the most imposed upon In the English language. They seem to think thnt "Oriental" means one wiggle after another. The *b#t nee of tights mas give the dinners more freedom of movement, but for ninny tnorth i have failed to see much "poetry of motion” In some of these so-called barefooted dancers. If the pltter patter of a dancer's bare tootsies on a f.oor Is *•• essential to the uplift of art, It 1* then high time that the city councils all over th land he come art lover* nnd pass an ordinance creating a public promenade where the Ice man and the barber, the newspaper man and the chauffeur and all other* may cavort about In the li. V. p.'s and ■orklras sees The average bare foot In a revne I* Placed there fop its commercial value hs , a magnet to litre | enple Into the theater under the gulae o’ art. I ant referring to no particular dancer, but 1 have never yet seen a revue that con and not eurll; dispose of the bare tootsie* of tindancers. If the revue producer wants to give lus art, then let him give u* dancers like ! Ruth St. Dennis In her Peacock Dance ' or “The Dance of the Bea." | Pope has said, "So vast la art. so nar I row Is human wit." | “Legs" Is not art.

YESTERDAY'S QUESTIONS. 1. According to authorities of the Department of Agriculture there is no warrant for the statement that celery is u ; nerve food, “nnd the belief is probably a survival of the time when specific virtues were attributed to almost all plants and vegetables.” 2. Pan broiling is done in a frying pan, bttt the result is more like broiling than frying or sauteing. The pan should be greased to keep meat from sticking. It should be very hot to begin with and meat should be turned every ten counts. S. The best way to keep the kitchen sink drain from stopping is to flush with hot water with a little ammonia or washing soda every day or two.—Copyright, 1920. Anderson W. R. C.
