DANCE UMBO-JUMBO"
AND TAKE OFF FLESH
Conventionalized "nula-Htila" Rec
ommended by Congres-iional Delo
pnto from Ilawa'J a an Effective
Rcdncer of Too Much Fat.
Washington Well calculated to
remove superfluous flesh Is the new
mumbo-Jumbo" dance, which "Prince
Cupid," otherwise Jonas Kuhlo Ka
lan'anaole, the' congressional delegate
from Hawaii, has Introduced here. It
U an Americanized version of the
"hula-hula," a native dance, which
make9 the performances of the Roulin
Rouge look like a high school class
in calesthenlcs.
According to those who have seen
It on its nat've heath and that In
cludes all the friskily Inclined tour
ists whj vi'!t Honolulu, the "hu'.a
hula" exceeds the speed limit of ter
pslchorean achievements. Even in its
denatured form, the "mumbo-Jumbo"
makes the "turkey trot" and the
"grizz:y bear" seem quite tame.
"I can assure you," gays gen'al
Prince Cupid," "that the new dance
is worth a whole cour-e of Muldoon
Ing .o those who want to take off av
ordupols. but I am told, the Ameri
can! l'ke anything unique It's
unique, all right.'
"The native dance was not consid
ered risque unt'l the Americans de
manded something with local c'o'or.
Then I am told the native dancers
added a good many trimmings to
their original gyrations."
"Prince Cup'd" thinks that In its
conventlona.lzed form the dance is
"all right." However s'nee fashion
able Washington ha frowned on the
"turkey trot" and the "grizzly bear"
partisans of the new dance hardly ex
pect It to obtain widespread popular
ity. There Is no prospect that it will
supplant the ea'd waltz and two-step
at debu'ante affairs.
