Laddie
is doing some very difficult steps in buck,
dancing. His lanky legs give the impression
that all his dancing is “loose.”
“The scene in which the dancer appears is night upon a desert, very pretty, effective and subdued. La Sylphe’s conception is Salome’s remorse.”
“The dancer is dressed in fleshings underneath the regulation Oriental garb, and the tights apparently are made to include the bodice covering.”
It is a Russian dancing act,
probably among the best over there, for
it classes with those seen here.
“The curtain that rose on Salome’s remorse disclosed a stage setting adapted by Wallace D. Lambelle from the following Bilbical quotation: ‘ And they departed into a desert place by ship – Mark vi, 32.”
“La Sylphe was prudently dressed in fleshings, as if fearful of climatic contrasts between Harlem and mid-Broadway, and was adorned with beads, plates, and much gauze.”
For other comedy Mr. Wilson wears fantastic women’s clothes.
