Whether New York City has requested a “moral dance code” is @ mystery, IT’S ALL ON ACCOUNT OF THE INIQUITOUS “SHIMMY.” Of course the moral dance wave has been’ brought on by the iniquitous shimmy. Something must be done. ‘On a slumming tour in Chicago Mr. Bott first saw the shoulder shake, “It was characteristically-in keeping with a dive,” he said yesterday when interviewed, “but I never would have believed tt poamnle that it could éx- tend its vulgarity even the stage, much lessthe lig dance: fleor.” “Then you are not going to try and send the shimmy to the laundry?” I asked. “No; the shimmy is anathema and should be relegated to the ash-heap, the reducing plant, or better still the city incinerator, “That part of the public which has fallen under the spell of shimmy dancing,” went on Mr. Bott, “is really not responsible, The fault lies In the music.” And here’s where the national jazz was delivered a lambasting. THAT AWFUL SAXAPHONE THE * CAUSE OF IT ALL. The extreme jazz music is respon- sible for the quivering movement of the body conducive of the shimmy. | It is almost’ impossible to ‘refrain from the syncopation under that in- | sinuating. rhythm.” other words, can't make our shoulders behave. The villain in the piece 1s the saxophone, and the ac- complices in crime are the slide trom- bone (allag slip-hora) and the clari- net. Once bring these instruments in the dance Jaundry and wash out their Due notes, you can trust yourself again on @ dance floor. ‘The plan of the dancing masters ts to regulhte t) ‘guilty jazsers 80 that they wilf not be permitted to play with their mufflers open. In keeping with other important reforms of the day, their intoxication is to be reduced to something under 2 per cent. Once this is done, it is believed that the shimmy and kindred wiggles will give way to the polka, or, some- thing equally’ thoffensive. If sup- pressing the instruments doesn't work as expected, the municipalities can eventually appeal to the Interstate Commerce Commission to rule against musicians carrying concealed saxo- DOWNTOWN BROOKLYR _SDAVENUB | AVENUE'A | BROADWAY Cor, 1234 8, Cor, 4th st. at Garateaa Ave. /Thenk heavet!
