Miss Ruth St. Denis, who is one of the leading exponents of modem danc ing, and who enters the realm of vau deville this week at the Palace Thea tre, New York, has declared that the , Negro is the real dancing teacher, and that modern dances have learned grace and naturalness of movement from him. She so expressed herself in an interview which appeared in the Evening Mail of January 29. Said Miss St. Denis: “The Negro is our real dancing teacher. To him it is a vital and necessary thing to dance. He loves it and gets much joy out of his easy and graceful, if somewhat heavy mode of movement. From the black we have learned what little underlying grace and naturalness of movement we possess.” “When she was an actress on the legitimate she got two hundred a week, and now in the movies she gets five hundred.” “Well, it’s worth three hundred a week to keep anv woman from talk ing.” j Use the Monitor to Reach the j Colored People of Nebraska. | It’s their Only Newspaper. .«.
