THE DENISHAWN DANCERS
A review, by Robert Henderson.
There are two tasks trat falbergast
a criticism: a production nearly good
and a production superlatively gnpd.
To estimate an all but perfect per-
formance can result in nothing save
extravagant enthusiasms, which none,
barring those actually in the audience
will even begin to believe.
The program presented last eve-
ning at the Whitney theatre by the
I Denishawns was little less than fault-
ness; number after number with ka-j
laedioscopic versatility each main-
tained "a height of artistic accuracy;j
but to make you believe the fact is1
impossible. In our present age of
sophisticated ennui, no one will admitj
perfection.1
Picture, if you can, the production,

A HIGHER TYPE OF EDUCATION
A most representative body of alum-,
ni, members of the Board of Directors
of the alumni association, came to
blackboards where coat hooks ought
to be. We did not attempt to discover
whether the ceiling had been consid-
ered.
All these excuses are good enough.
But when The Daily commenced its
agitation for coat hooks it did not in-
tend to be taken quite so literally.

OPINION-NOT LIBEL
The Campus Opinion column of The
Daily has recently been swamped
with communications purporting to
show (according to the side which the
writers took) that Theodore Roosevelt
was in favor of the League of Nations,
or, on the other hand, that he was
not. In the beginning, the exchange of
views was interesting, although it was
of no practical importance. In the
light of changing conditions and the
complete metamorphosis which the
original League has undergone, his
opinion of a league still unborn at
the time of his death can have littleI

"Havelock Ellis said, 'Dancing and
architecture are the two fundamental
arts, all others are based upon them.'
Because of the conditions of the ,
growth of civilization, the dance has
fallen far behind the other arts. Five
hundred years from now I believe that
dancing will have reached the stage
of advancement that music has today.{
It has- only been in the past twenty
years that any serious dancing has
been done in America.
America is yet in its infancy any-,
way. It bases too much on mechanical,
tangible things. It ignores the emo-
tional and the spiritual. Picture if you
can, a group of children-only these
children are 40 and 50 years old-
playing with mechanical toys, soon
tiring of one and turning toward an-I
other. I believe in time America will
outgrow this and turn toward thej
more permanent arts of life. The be-
ginning of dancing in America is a
turning toward this goal.

Good athletes are made, not born! Given
all the inherent qualities, the star runner,

physically. So the methods of trainers
and athletic experts are of interest to all.
And it is significant that an alkohol rub
