“The dancer appears in a jeweled arrangement, respectable appearing enough, although she does not wear shoes and perhaps not fleshings.”
"She executes a backward kick that has never been touched by a dancer, an acrobat, or contortionist."
"Public interest in the 'Salome' undressed dance has risen to a high pitch. Just how hard the public may have fallen for it may be judged by the packed houses at 125th Street this week, when most of the other New York theaters were playing to the ushers."
The act that gained the most applause was "a sort of skirt dance on the toes."
"She is a dancer out of the ordinary rather than anything else."
"The dance is itself in no way objectionable. It simply gives the young woman an opportunity to display advantageously her sinuous body in what was a series of graceful contortions."
