These re cords,' from old Egyptian paint- fngs, go Back some 6000 years and reveal a rariety ot religious rites la which dancing played an lmpor- tantt part. ' The Hebrews gare dancing , a major role in their religious eere- ' monies, as tne many old Testxment references indicate, but it remain ed forlhe ancient Greeks to bring the art to the highest place it has ever held. : v Protected and encouraged by both ciTll and religious authori ties, dancing was a tremendously Important factor in Grecian lite,. Vast municipal ballets commem orated all sorts of important rents, and in the rural districts the coming of the various seasons were - celebrated' with choreogra phic activities. Military leaders employed the dance as a means of building up ' and maintaining the physical well- being of their troops. Philosophers advocated and praised its value In upholding the Greek Ideal of phy sical beauty and the theatre used both ballet and individual dancing in a far greater measure than to day. ' With the 'coming of the Roman empire, however, dancing fell rap- - idly in public esteem, and singu larly enough was rescued from this low state by the newly-formed Christian church. .Christianity. realizing the ralue of dancing in the old Hebrew ceremonials, purl- itea and revived it for its own uses during the Middle Ages. .- When the church in turn began to frown on the art, the people took. to it and various crude folk- dances sprang up In Italy and France. Later the various , "old fashioned" dances evolved: . the minuet, saraband garotte:, pa rane and rolte which subsequently Became our modern waltt. While soma of. these dances were incorporated into the ballet steps of today, others were more suited to dual use, and turned in to the modern ballroom dances.. . Behind-the ocenes .

And there 'must be a lone- stftae or lonely or perhaps solitary tacked to it. For whatever she may be in the rush and swirl of New York, she is certainly a lonely fig ure at the Swank Arizona Bilt more, where we chatted with her for nearly an hour this morning. But don't be sorry for her. That's what she wants. She is alone -without being lonesome, it you know what we mean. She doesn't want to see people or talk to them. She arrived four or five days ago, and hasn't spoken to anyone but the' clerk, and the waiter she has all her meals in ner noom ana sne doesn't ex pect to for at least 10 days more. Ob, she did see a reporter fronts the Phoenix Gazette the day she arrived. But the only reason she allowed the "country editor from Oregon" to come out was that he had a sort of "alluring" voice over the phone. (Think ot that. the first hint Ye Editor has had that his Toice is magnetised by the telephone wire. We shall start putting phone numbers In our notebook at once.)

I don't KNOW, of course. But I don't like touring or sightseeing and I hate crowds. No crowds in Oregon? Well, that sounds-good. I may go ap there some day. "Yes, I hare Just returned from Mexico City went down there for a few weeks with Mr. and Mrs. Marc Connolly you know he writes plays. We ran around with Mr, and Mrs. Newton Baker and had a glorious time. We called Mr. Baker "Prexy" all the time, and promised to shoot that horrible man who stays up all night to shake hands with the president, before he enters the White House. Baker hates professional hand shaking. What do you think ot Baker? I do, too I think he Is a really great man. Such a head and such a heart. Too bad he has no legs. Oh, you know he really HASNT. No, I didnt see that line. Baker only lacks three inches of being presidential timber.' Tell the man who wrote It, Napoleon was a short man and so was Bob LaFollette." So we chatted on.
