The musical feature of the special celebration at the Congressional Coun- try Club last night was a series of three groups of dances presented by Anne Middleton, a dancer who is new to Washington. Miss Middleton was ably accompanied at the piano by Kurt Hetzel. There was a large audience. Miss Middleton became established In an artistic ‘career first as a pianist, studying with Mme. Fannie Bloomfield- Zeisler, Jeannette Durno and Friedberg. She had harmony and analy- | sis under Louis Bobyn and - Adolf | ‘Weidig. Her dancing was studied with | Alys Bentley of New York, formerly of Washington. Later she had a year of training in_ the Daleroze eurythmics ynder M. Paul Boepple, also in New | ork. ] | Miss Middleton last night did not | follow completely either the Greek barefoot type of dancing or had she any consistent suggestion of other defined styles of dancing. She wore ballet slip- pers with a costume that suggested the old Greek in its lines. She moves rhythmically, but with gestures pre- dominating that are of Oriental qual- ity. When she gestures with her hands there is no aliveness in her fingers, but her hands are used as solid units. Here and there, particularly in interpreting | the Beethoven music, there were sug- gestions of the modern symbolical mo- | tions to indicate mood, especially tragic moed. Her Chopin waltzes were given very simple interpretation. In her first | group Debussy “En Bateu” won partic- ular applause. 1t is possible thai Miss Middleton has more individual dances than those done to such familiar interpretative dance music as was used last night. &o one who recently saw the Moscow group of the Duncan Dancers and what Miss Lewisohn's dancers are doing at_the Neighborhood performances of New York, the work last night lacked color, originality and dramatic power. —H.T. A KANE DANCE RECITAL. Ethel Hoffman Kane presented her adult class in an impressive program of “‘motor-mental-rhythmics” in hes studio | on G street last evening. o - e BUS AT THE CLOSE - - Whitmore and Gompany 1225 F STREET AT I3TH, A Splendid Choice of WEDDING GIFTS Now 20% w© 5 Sterling Silver Platedware Glassware Diamonds Fine Jewelry Watches, Etc. Entire Stock Must Be Sold This Store Is GOING OUT OF reading of music, in notes, in pitch, dynamics, tempo, melody and phrasing, is the departure that Mrs. Kane has made in using the bodies as instruments in interpreting the moods of a com- poser. ‘Two of the most striking illustrations were dramatic portrayals of the entire Brahms “Sonata, F minor,” and in some dozen of the “variations” from Beeth ven's 32 variations. Here was struc- tural idea brought into stunning fluld sculpture, one might say, except that vivid or subtle colors form the pictures in_ filmy costumes of the rhythmic dance. For idea, the Brahms mass of perhaps 15 dancers, emerged like some torment- ed souls doomed to earth-bound limita- tions, while out of the mass a central form like light, beckoning to freedom, tried to release them by leading to higher visions, and between—to enrich the three-fold dramatic themes—were two figures who were the guides to this turbulent mass whose forms were amaz- ing in their billowy movement of emo- tional expression. = So true was each movement, each mood, to the music's bidding, that it revealed more in its con- | tent than one might read into it un- aided by the eye. Stage work, this, of more than beauty, Technique, for many moods, some of light, airy waltzes, an enchanting “Soiree de Vienne” of Schubert or his “Valse Sentimentale,” showed some buoyant youth in charming excerpts. Schumani’s “Soaring” floated upon multi-colored wings, now gay, now full of fear, drooping with heaviness. while never in the dancer’s movements did one lose the elements of correct note values to the dramatic story. Palmgren's “Sea” was turbulent green and foamy white tossed in vital sweep of silk ‘that | a painter might long to capture on canvas, while Debussy's “Veils” gave something different in the use of flow- ing chiffon. There was a “Guilt" in of St.|gripping pantomime. But foremost, above individual at- INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES AT WILDWOOD Have yon money to fnvest?
