Genee’s Dancing the Intoxication of ‘The Soul Kiss.”’ AISE your glasses to Gence! | The airy, fairy dancer who for ten years has been the pet of London | is to-day the toast of the town. At the New York Theatre last night Mlle. Adeline Genee tripped to triumph, just as every one who had seen her at the Empire knew she would. And yet, after the first fall of the curtain, with sounds of her conquest as fresh as the flowers that nodded sweet from every side of her dressing-room, this modest Uttle Danish woman turned to ask: “Do you think they meant it? Do you believe —— ee) they rea like me ‘or answer—if any w needed—the house rose at the end as though it had been rehearsed, | and cheered her until it was pink in| the face, Before she had finished her first dance the audience her feet And at wonderful were Of course, the gray will tell us that only w ont and Fannie Elisler danced did poor human ’ ity real at is meant by the “poe-| a try of mo le But we know better, for Genee is not only the poetry but| the humor, the drama of motion as well. v When the audience tle blond lady pat ehead, f n. one dan seen b 2 it wonder long r h | on se stage things went in lightning J finches, With ler lithe, slender fieur ; . viurling now like a Columbine, nov f Into the afr < fn + Mle.

Getrazzini. 1) tongue {5 a veritable stum- bling block in the path of the singer. he tongue Is an enormous mus- cle compared with the other parts of the mouth and throat, and its roots, particularly, ean by a slight movement block the passage of the |throat, pressing against the larynx. jThis accounts for much of the pinched singing that we hear. | When the tongue forms a moun- [tain in the back part of the mouth |the siager produces what you call in |@nglish slang “a hot potato tone’— |that is to say, a tone that sounds as {if {t were having much difficulty to : | cet through the mouth. In very fact, it 4s having this difficulty, for # has to pass over the back of the tongue. The would-be singer has to learn to control the tongue muscles, and, | above all things, to learn to relax the tongue and to govern it at will, 6o | that it never stiffens and forms that hard lump which can be plainly felt immediately beneath the chin under the jaw. It requires a great deal of practice to gain control of the tongue, and there are many different exercises which purport to be beneficial in gain- ing complete mastery of {t. One, for instance, is to throw the tongue out as far forward as possible without stiffening it and then draw it back slowly. This is done in front of a mirror by trying to throw the tongue out not only from the tip but from the root, and keeping the sides of the tongue broad, Another way is to catch hold of the two sides of the tongue with the fingers and pull it out gently. | For my part, I scarcely approve of ; dd to the resonance of ithe head note: these mechanical ways of gaining |siving the cavities of the Head fre control of the tongue except in cases | play. where the singer 4s of a phiesmatic| You can easily see your back palate temperament and cannot be made to| working by opening the mouth wide and feel the various sensations of stift|6!ving yourself the sensation of ono tongue, or tongue drawn far back, in| out to sneeze.
