Following were Ruth St. Denis and her company in a series of classical dances, subdivided on the program but no one cared about the specific divisions. The bare legs had some attraction, the settings more, but somehow, though Miss St. Denis and Lieut. Ted Shawn staged the turn, it doesn't seem to be there in the way it should. The St. Denis dance display may have a story in it. One could suspect as much from the appearance of a couple of Hindoos (maybe) who sang, talked and played a tom-tom, if that's what India's uke is called. This broke distastefully into the general scheme, though needed for a wait or other reason. But Miss St. Denis left a pleasant impression. If made more positive she would not be in the No. 3 spot, but it should not be overlooked that at the Palace the St. Denis turn is following after but a short interval the new act of the Morgan Dancers.
