Incongruous "Correct Imita

of Dances.
COFflPANY IS LARGE ONE
'Cleopatra," First of Dramas
Wrought In Pantomime, Breathes
of Passion Only Once Does
DanseuM? Suggest Spiritual.
BY LEONK CASS BAER.
Gertrude Hoffrua,n"s season of Rus
sian ballet, artistic in Its splendor,
with Its unneeded snd wholly-out-of-place
introduction of "correct Imita
tions" of well - known actors and
actresses, forces the natural conclusion
that Miss Hoffman certainly an
artiste, snd versatile to her finger tips
feels the crying need of exploiting
her positive genius for mimicry, and
therefore does It, no matter what the
occsston.
We should be thankful Miss Hoffman
doesn't spoil the entire entertainment,
current at the Helllg. by Introducing
"Myself making a pie." or "Gertrude
Hoffman laundering resl-lace hand
kerchiefs." She drags tn Harry Lauder.
Kva Tar.quay. the Inevitable and always-to-be-expected
George M. Cohan,
snd a dosen others each Impersona
tion a masterpiece ;of Its kind, but as
wholly out of the (Russian ballet at
mosphere as the proverbial porker In
the parlor.
Of Itself, the drama to'd by Miss
Hoffman's aggregation of dancers be
comesrart. Society Tars, Out.
Portland society turned out en
masse lust night to witness this new
est and decidedly most alluring sen
sation of the-artistic. Never in Port
lsnd's history of things theatrical have
Its people seen such barbaric beauty
and classic splendor, such exquisite
pastoral grace as Is this elaborate
demonstration of the chirographic art.
With Miss Hoffman's performers
and she has a stage-full the dance
reaches pre-eminence. Through It the
performers express In a perfectly nat
ural way all emotion, running the
gamut of black despair and Joyful hys
teria, from bitter woe to gayest com
edy, and sounding the depths of trag
edy and. scaling the heights of love
snd abandon. Not only are they won
derful dancers, but actors as well;
their dances are not alone the poetry
of motion, but as well the poetry of
action.
Miss Hoffman divides her entertain
ment Into three parts, each having no
connection with anything that goes
before or comes after.
leopatra" First Drama.
First of these Is "Cleopatra;" like
the others, a drama In one act. This
one picture brings a sense of the storied
magnificence 111 the life of the "ser
pent of the Nile."
Miss Hoffman's entrance In this si
lent drVma is splendidly unloue. Her
slender body, swathed In many veils.
Is borne In among the mad revelers by
a retinue of black men.
A young archer, Amoun. beholding
her as she slowly unwraps each veil
from her body. Is fired with a passion
which makes him forget his newly be
trothed Ta-hor, and dances In wild
abandon about the queen. She Is about
to sentence him to death when sud
denly the youth and fervor of the lad
touches her. She leans forward, al
ways dancing, and whispers a pro
posal. She will deign to love him for
one night, but on the morrow he is to
be beheaded.
Frankly suggestive In plot, the dance
Is even more so, were such a thing
possible. About the couch on which
recline the bead-trimmed Clepatra and
Amoun, the dancers swirl a riot of
color, in voluptuous maze. By a won
derful electrical contrivance the tragic
hours of the dance are noted by the
changing lights, and when the purple
dawn breaks over the revelers, the
queen gives Amoun a poisoned chalice
Then with her court she withdraws,
leaving Ta-hor dancing about the dead
body.
Jilted Maldew Artistic.
Maria Baldena, in the role of the
Jilted maiden, simulates grief with In
nate artistry, and wholly by her beau
tiful dancing.
Theodore Kosloff. as Amoun, dances
with the very spirit of youth Incar
nate. In this drama. Miss Hoffman Is an
unforgettable picture of seductive
beauty, sinuous, snake-like, fascinat
ing, while repellent. She produces in
her audience no admiration except of
the physical Gertrude Hoffman.
Only In one part of Miss Hoffman's
entertainment, does she suggest the
spiritual, the clever, the decent. This
is when, like a .breath of glorious
Springtime, occurs the classic pastoral
Ies Sylphldes." set to Chopin's exqui
sitely haunting melody. The real
beauty and simple charm of this ballet
made a tremendous appeal last even
ing, certainly far more than the deep
lavender of "Cleopatre" or the phan
tasmagoria of a hundred murders and
the downright .vulgarity set In splen
dor which made up the last act.
ylpa Dim Honsaatle.
In the Sylph dance, a romantic revel
ry, Misses Baldena and Koshoff danced
as bits of thlstledown, while Theodoro
Kosloff proved himself a purely classic
male dancer, reminding one of Mord
kln In his beautiful leaps and bounds
Then followed the series of Imita
tions, but after Los Sylphldes. they
were as the ridiculous after the sub
lime. Beautiful was Miss Hoffman's Inter
pretation of Mendelssohn's "Spring
Song." after she got bark to the clouds.
Clad as a nymph, swinging between
blossom-blown branches. Miss Hoff
man's dance took on the values of art
and aesthetic sincerity. This number
was, without doubt, the most appreci
ated' of a generous programme and its
appeal was made entirely through its
exquisite delicacy and simplicity;
through Its absence of anything that
even bordered on suggestlveness, de
spite Its scanty apparel.
Any description of the last number.
"Sheheraxade." would melt the types
and run these lines together. So sug
gestive even In Its gorgeous beauty of
accoutrement; so positively Indecent,
despite the sugar-costing of wonder
ful Oriental costumes and scenes. Is
Miss Hoffman's piece de resistance
tsupposely so, since she leaves it to
the last) that it leaves a dark brown
taste in one's mouth. ,
Throughout the performsnce the mu
sical settings are perfect, and beau
tifully Interpreted by all the dancers,
each flttlrg Into the other In an har-.
monlous entirety. Miss Hoffman car
ries her own orchestra, and their "ac
companiments alone make an enter
tainment worth while.
This evening, tomorrow evening' and.
at a matinee tomorrow afternoon Miss
Hoffman will again present feer Rus
sian Ballets.

COUNCIL DEFENSE HEATED
John Montag Explains That Stand
ard Oil Company May Remove
Branch From Portland if Pro
posed Policy Is Pursued.
A stirring scene was precipitated at
the mass meeting of South Portland cit
izens held at Gevurtz Hall. Front and
Gibbs streets, Thursday night, called tor
purpose of protesting against the
action of the Council Tn permitting the
establishment of oil tanks . in South
Portland, and for devising ways and
means of preventing their establish
ment, when Attorney C. H. Piggptt
launched Into a defense of the Council s
action, and declared that South Port
land would suffer no injury from the
establishment of the tanks there, but
on the other hand, would profit by it.
South Portland, he said, had always
been a backward and unprogressive dis
trict. ,
The speech came at the end of argu
ments in which the Council, and par
ticularly Councilman John Montag. who
was present, and had previously of
fered an explanation of his action in
voting for the ordinance, were more or
less severely handled.
l.auEhter Greets Speech.'
"t would call to your attention," said
John Heitkemper, the chairman, while
Mr. Piggott was In the midst of ex
plaining why the establishment of 'the
tanks In South Portland would be the
best thing that could happen to that
part of town, "that this meeting was
called for the purpose of devising ways
and means, of getting rid of the oil
tanks."
A storm of derisive laughter and ap
plrfVse greeted the announcement. Mr.
Piggott attsmpted to explain, but he
was drowned out by cries of "sit down."
Councilman Montag was on his feet In
an Instant, and was greeted by similar
cries. He at length succeeded in get
ting a hearing, and made an impas
sioned plea for fair play, which met
with applause.
. Mr. Piggott again attempted to speak,
but Mr. Heitkemper interposed. "We've
paid rent for this hall, so that" w
might devise ways and means of get
ting the oil tanks out, and I don't pro
pose to sit here and hear a defense of
the Standard Oil Company." he said.
Mr. Montag arose again, and was
met with cries of "sit down," "call
him to order."-
"Haven't I got a right to say a word
In my defense?" ho asked.
Mr. Piggott at length sat down in
a huff.
"I see that the property owners here
don't want to be consulted in this
matter," continued Mr. Montag. "K
you want to know the remedy, come
to my office."
Lou to City Plea.
Speaking in defense of his action.
Mr. Montag said that the Council had
been Informed that if oil tanks were
not permitted within the city, the
Standard Oil Company would take all
I ineir tanas w.aeaiuo. uu mv
Liacd consumers .would &avo to pay j
heavily for the resultant Increase In
the price of oil. He said that the
Council had also been informed by the
underwriters that insurance premiums
would not be increased on structures
close to the tanks, and gave as a fur
ther reason for voting for the meas
ure, that he thought it would result In
a benefit to South Portland, in the In
creased traffic and revenue diverted to
that part of the city.
He denied imputations of bribery,
which, he said, he understood were be
ing circulated, and declared that he
stood ready to do the bidding of the
citizens and to use his efforts toward
rescinding the measure.
A permanent organization was ef
fected, of which John Heitkemper was
elected president, B. C. Jones vice
president, and Mrs. E. A. Chambers
secretary-treasurer. A committee con
sisting of John Heitkemper, Isaac
Swett, V. K. Strode, John Montag and
W. D. Smith was appointed to draft an
Initiative petition, and to report at a
meeting to be called by the chairman.
