"At to toe . dancing, this young

her. In thccr.artittry the excels.
"What an opportunity there is in
vaudeville for a .person, a dancer,
especially, to be creative in her work
and constantly present 1 soirtcthlng
new," the say.. "It is different from
ballet work, in that ballet require!
closely following a certain routine,
on account of itt musical score. In
vaudeville there is a chance to dis
cover which dance it liked the better,
and this can be changed at often at
desired. Vaudeville audiences have
been kind to both Mr. Gygi and
myself, and we deeply appreciate it,
I want to emphasize."
Film Audiences
Equal to Test of
Mark Twain Humor
. A great discovery has been made
the playgoing public has inlcllli
gencc and a sense of humorl
And it was made thr ;h a mo
tion picture. Incidentally, it bears
out the recent dictum of George M.
Cohan who, . discussing acting, sail
a player never needed to slam his
comedy points at audiences; if they're
any good, they'll score, said the
great George M. '
"A Connecticut Yankee in King
Arthur's Court" in films has already
run six months in the Central theater,
New York City, and bids to go a
year. Therein lies confirmation 'of
Cohan's tribute to the public. For
Mark Twain's character, it is said,
was. acted by the comedian Harry
Myers with due respect for the sub
tle humors of the story and no effort'-
to pilcdrive its satire into au
diences. ' " '
