THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO N, D. DENISHAWNS GIVE AMERICAN DANCES Classical Caliber Placed in Steps Interpretative of § New World Life. American dances by American dancers for an American audience seems to be the new slogan for the Denisshawn dancers, who appeared at Poli’s Theater before a capacity audi- ence yesterday afternoon under the ieadership of Ruth St. Denls and Ted Shawn. The artistic dance revues of classical caliber given by these dancers have become increasingly favored by the public. A group of five American sketches, itled “Crapshooter,” “Around the “Gringo Tang: “Boston Fancy, 1854" and “Invocation to the Thunderbird,” covered a wide scope of typical rhythms. feature w. American dance steps and Perhaps the most striking = the genuine spontaneity and whole-hearted understanding of these dances by the performers. Other numbers were given with care- ful artistic interpretation, traditional to other countries than our own. This group was danced to remarkably in- taresting music by Eastwood Lane and John Philip Sousa. One dance, which was a composite of steps used i days of the polka and quadr recelved with such enthusiasm a partial repetition was glven encore.

Dance Without Music. A unlaue feature of the divertisse- ment was “Traglca,” ensemble work, almost morbidly realistic in its primitive eme, danced hout music. The effect on the audience, ‘whose attention seemed held ihrough- out, was to the feellug of tense wat ithout the distrac- tion of even beautiful musio. This expertment, arranged by Miss Hum- phrey, was remarkable. It is doubt- if an audience could stand the strain of an entire performance giv- en along the same lines. The non- use of one entirc sense, that of hear- ing, has an effect on an audience.

An Algerian dance drama in two scenes, entitled “The Vislon of the Aissoua.,” was the final number. It was created and produced Ly Miss St. Denis with dance steps by her, as sisted by Mr. Shawn. The story is a simple one, telling of the love of a poor youns native for a girl in lis tribe, who must be sold, as is the custom, to dance in the cafes of Al- giers, and their flnal happy reunion.

GENEVA, February 19.—The state- ment that the American delegation to the International Oplum Conference, by fits boldness, directness and de- votion, gave supreme impetus to the whole anti-drug campaign 1is utterly unchallengeable, President Zahle de- clared today in his valedictory to the conference. He characterized as most unfortunate the incident of the withdrawal of the American delega- tion from the Geneva meeting. “No volce was ralsed, no voice can be raised against the justice of the principles enunclated by the Ameri- can delegation,” asserted the presi- dent M. Zahla sald that the only ques- tlon as to the moment when the American principles could be realized. Without taking any position on the lcting viewpoints of the one favoring immediate ion and the other demanding more time for the suppression of opium smoking—the speaker said he wanted to express his regret, first, that the Americans should have felt the mne- cessity of withdrawing and second that they had withdrawn before the end of the conference. ~ Says U. S, View Followed. The President emphasized, however, that the conference, since the with- drawal of the Americans, had tried not only to take no action that might make future co-operation with the Unlted States difficult, but had sought to apply the American viewpoints as far as they were understood. He sald that the conference had safeguarded Ameriea’s right to a seat on the cen- tral anti-narcotic board and hoped that the United States soon would re- turn to the world-wlde movement launched at Geneva. The speaker frankly admitted that the American principle for the limit- fng of the production of opium to medical and scient!fic needs was not included {n the convention as an ob- 1igation, although it had been accept- ed both by the league's advisory oplum committee and the assembly it- If. He sald the conference had made every possible effort, up to the last moment, to find a solutlon, but when none appeared, the frankest and wisest course seemed to be to strengthen the provisions of The Hague convention Thinks Problem Unsolved. As for the problem of opium smok- ing in the Far East, M. Zahle believed the conference had done its best, but had not solved the great problem over production of opium and coca leaves nor crushed the world's drug evil. He pointed out that the great pub- lcity given the conference had sound- ed a warning to the whole world. He predicted the result would be the education of public opinion. The president mentioned, among the concrete achievements of the confer- ence, the creation of international Friday Is Vanity Fair Day at control of the drug traffic under a central board which Is expected even- tually to eliminate the evil aspects, and the widening of the supervision of dangerous drugs In all directions with restrictions even on air ship- ments. Says Evil Is Trapped. President Zahle concluded by saying that the drug evil had been caughl in the machinery of the League of Natlons and never could escape. Delegate MacWhite of Ireland pre- dicted another conference in Wwhich both the United States and China would participate with renewed vigor. Dr. Riddell of Canada also urged another conference, hoping the time would come when the visions of the idealists would be practical politics for all. Dr. Eckhardt of Germany an- nounced that Germany and China had signed an agreement on December 31 for an obligatory exchange of certifi- cates on the export and import of oplum. The conference delegates will sign the conventlon this afternoon and the document will remain open for the signatures of other powers until Sep- tember 30. Great Britain announced that the British signature would not bind the dominlons which were sepa- rate members of the league. China already has a woman suf- frage party.
