patrolman's terse commands and began
to expostulate. i
" "S enough." decreed Patrolman Eu
banks, "you'll have' to present your

Western Maids Are to Be Feature
of Road Show Sunday and Car
of Elaborate Scenery Is
to Be Vfeed In Act.
Sixteen girls gleaned from the Far
West, who astounded New York last
Winter by dancing In the snow in
Central Park, will arrive here next
Sunday for a four days' visit. They
are the "Greater Morgan Dancers,"
stars of -the Orpheum road show in
which they will present the- same act
that set Old Manhattan agog.
The war forestalled foreign bookings
for the act and Mr. Beck, managing
director of the Orpheum circuit, pre
vailed upon Miss Morgan to traverse
his chain of theaters to show her own
Western people the artistry of the 16
girl dancers who took New Ion by
storm and In a montB gained honors
that have been sought long and tire
lessly by Eastern devotees of classical
dancing.
Girls Are Callfornlans.
Miss Marlon Morgan Is an American
girl. She took a two years' course in
physical culture at the . New York
Normal School and was appointed
supervisor of city playgrounds in Los
Angeles. Then she was appointed head
of the physical education department
of the Manual Arts High School of
that city.
Miss Morgan then went East with a
pupil intending to revel In European
art and outdoor Continental life. When
in New York awaiting to sail Miss
Morgan became interested in dramatic
work and entered the Academy of
Arts. She sent to California for 16
of her former pupils and in a short
while she had arranged a dancing act
which commanded the attention of New
York's greatest producers.
The act offered by "The Greater
Morgan Dancers" Is a historical ballet
in three episodes, featuring the ballet
of the Vestal virgins. The story is
historically accurate and relates the
adventure of a young man who enters
the inner shrines of the temple of
Vesta and is killed by a thunderbolt
when he attempts to steal away the
chief of the vestals after he has dared
to look upon the virgins in their watch
over the fire that must never cease to
burn.
Car of Scenery Carried.
The act requires a carload of spe
cial scenery and seven men are carried
to handle the mechanical details and
lighting effects, which are declared to
be the most magnificent ever seen In
vaudeville. Ashton Stevens, the great
New York dramatic critic, in reviewing
the act said:
It J to be doubted If the Palace eoold
navfl obtained anywhere a mors beautiful
act than Marlon Morgan's classic dancers
It wns beautiful and It was artistic, too.
In the tallest definition of the word. You
will find that the Russians themselves have
done nothing- finer in its kind than the
Roman ballet executed by Miss Morgan's
beauteous 16 and the Wo but not unhappy
William Williams, albeit his fate for peeping
at the vestals Is sudden death
Tadema would have rejoiced in the colors
Mis Morgan has chosen for the rlrls'
draperies, and Belasco one says It modestly
