The American 11 show girl didn't know how to dance CO years ago. and John Tiller of London, jwho invented the pony ballet and Intro duced it as a novelty to Broadway In jthe spring of 1902. Jnst cant imagine what she's been doing with her time psince then. Because she hasn't learned Tiller, who resembles the conventional bookkeeper of late middle age more than the resembles Ned JtY'ayburn. or Leon Kr- roi, or any or the other great American fchorus drill masters, has come' back to LBroadway .wlthA" aaotherktabiaof ia pony girls from London. They wiU waggle their kneea and alan - thir little bare calves in unison in the new Follies, not so much to show their American sisters how it's done as to earn their salaries and get out of the theatre by midnight, for they are the mobt practical, unromantlc and work aday chorus of show girls that ever bhnked into a spotlight. Most of the girls In Tiller's new troupe appear to be not older than 15. but hs claims there isn't one under 16, and it's his word against the unlearned judg ment of a casual observer, claiming no. ei per tn ess in the tremendous subject of girls. So they must be 16 or, over. But they can dance and nobody need take Tiller s word for that. It is 40 years since Tiller undertook to train a group of extremely proper Victorian young church ladies in the provincial city ef Manchester for a very mild parish entertainment. Nothing risque about that show, you understand, except, perhaps, where the young gentle man kissed the young lady's hand. He has been at it ever since and ha .has got the girls down to a dancing regalia which . would have stopped the show and caused the producer's arrest in Man chester 40 years back. There is something in what John Til ler says about the relative dancing abilities of the English and American Idow girls, with no special compliment to the Americans. He noticed when he brought over the first pony ballet that the American chorus was a thing of beauty and a joy from 8 :15 to 11 every night but Sunday, but when the girls walked about the stage, doing a few kicks, shouted "Hurrah ! girls, here comes Harry." and moved their Hps through one of the ancient Dixie num bers, they had done everything they knew. That's about all they're doing this season, and still the publta doesn't seem to mind, for . they haven't lost any of their beauty. Tiller' doesn't really ob ject, you understand, he merely discerns this difference between the American show girl and the English. Regarding the beauty of his lively little troupe It may be said that they dance very well. Chautauqua Slated . For Dayton June 4-8 Dayton, Or..

' Appllossoms Are Scene of FSniWedding BENEATH a blossom-covered apple tree In a large Hood River orchard on Tuesday a timid maiden and a stal wart youth clasped hands and vowed "never again do we part." To all outward appearances, it was a really and truly apple blossom wedding. but in reality it was only make believe. While the phony ceremony was In pro gress, directors shouted instructions and cameras clicked and when it was all over the results were pronounced per fect. It waa one of the scenes of a two- reel educational drama being produced by the Kiser Studios, Inc. on the apple Industry for a big Eastern distributor, rg A group of directors, cameramen and performers went to Oregon City on Wednesday to film a number of scenes in the Oregon City Woolen mills fo the two-reel educational drama entitled "Fleeced With Wool." This is a story onwool production and the manufacture of woolen goods. The party took with them a portable lighting system .to produce the proper lighting effects for Indoor "shoots." The party remained at Oregon City throughout the week. The staff at the big Kiser studio on Milwaukie street, which was completed last week, is busy on a series of 10 educational films which are to be dis tributed throughout the United States and in foreign countries Immediately, Veteran Chara c t e r Actress Travels 20 Times Around World Twenty times around the world, proximately 600,000 miles.

"I've traveled on river boats, steam boats, mule teams, horseback and all types and classes of railroad cars to practically every village and hamlet in the United States," says the 78-year-old Thespian, now with Agnes Ayres la "Borderland." "It's very pleasant to us old folks that the pictures- have made it possible at last for us to have our own homes, to be free from the Incessant 'one-night', stands.
