She is Mlle. Andree Rapo, direct from the Follies, Bergere, of Paris. Of her specialty, she said:— “The can-can—it is the dance that makes the jobs. It makes you excite. It is like the strip-tease— with the clothes on. It is the tease- dance. It makes you feel s0-0 so!” The encyclopedia says of the can- can:— “A dance, something of the na- ture of the quadrille, but accom- panied by violent leaps, and indeco- rous contortions of the body, or- iginated by the demimonde of Paris. and resembling the old Bacchic | dances.” | Your father will remember hear- 'ing about it when Queen Vietoria |banned it from England.
