By WALTER D. HICKMAN mHE dance recital which Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, assisted by the Denishawn Dancers, gave at the Murat yesterday afternoon, failed to reach the standards of all-round perfection which I expect and demand in these people. Thera was so much noisy talk going on behind the scenes during the first number, "The Spirit of the Sea," that the beauty of the affair was entirely lost.

number and "Ishtar of the Seven Gates." The rest of the program was so so as far as I was concerned, with the exception of the waltz divertissements presented by Miss St. Denis. Here was poetry and true artistry of the dance. A masterpiece. If conditions back stage were normal as they always have been at the Murat, I probably would have enjoyed the recital much more. I must Remember that the scenery was very late arriving and that might account for certain things, but it will never explain the loud talk behind the scenes to me. -j- -|- -|- Some Enjoyable Music and Singing on Palace Bill The Marimba Band, a splendid organization, and G.

The Marimba boys have a speedy and pleasing program. This act is a real reason for waiting until the final curtain. Miss Haager paid Moore belong to those refined personality entertainers who are so needed on the vaudeville stage. They have an individual offering of song and chatter.

It la an ideal holiday act for the children, Peggy Brooks sings a number of songs, her best one being the “r" song.

Aooordlng to Edna Wallace Hopper, 62-year-old “flapper," there is no such thing as old age. Miss Hopper proves her assertion by her youthful appearance- In her vaudeville act, which she will present at the Lyric next week. Thirty years and more ago Miss Hopper, then known and beloved as "Little Edna,” was the reigning beauty of American light opera and musical comedy. Father will remember her as the star of the original "Floradora” company, and for her delightful performance with her ex-husband, De<*Wolf Hopper In "Wang.” Going back a little farther grrandad will relate that she scored a big hit In 1892 with Roland Reed, Isadora Rush and Mary Myers in “The Club Friend.” Miss Hopper retired from the stage some time ago.
