DOROTHY PHILLINS
In "The White Frontier'
The dance, the drama and music
are the three arts through which the
human race has expressed its emo
tion since the dawn of history. Strange
to say, music and the drama did not
keep pace In their advancement with
the dance.
In what hi known as the Age of
Pericles, the drama and the dance:
reached their highest point up to
that period. The comedies of Aristo
phanies and the tragedies of Euri
pedes were for a. long time models of
dramatic perfection. Even the dram
atist of today regards these ancient
Greeks as writers of unusual ability.
Music, however, had not gone be
yond the chant and a few simple folk
melodies, but strange to say the
dance, sculpture and literature reach-
' C'd the state of perfection that serves
as a pattern even to this day.
The writings of Homer and the
work of unknown sculptors survived
the dark ages, but the dance that was
so famous In the golden age of Greece
was almost a lost art and it has been
only In the Iant quarter of a century
that the esthetic dance of the an
cients has been discovered and
brought up to its old-time perfection.
it is to Isadora Duncan, the fa
mous danscuse, that we owe the dis
covery. Miss Duncan visited Greece.
Khe studied the drawings and what
was left of decorations on the old
historic ruins of ancient Athens, rep
resenting the dancing postures of
that time, but it was Mine. Pavlova
who worked out to its present high
state of perfection ;the grace and
beauty of the long forgotten art.
After mastering the Athenian dance
she next visited Egypt, India, and
Japan, studied the folk dances of
these countries and has woven them
into a pantomimic play as it were,
and through the poetry of motion set
to music gives us a perfect picture
of these far off peoples. I
We of the present day, think of the'
dance only as a diversion, keeping
time to lively music, through which
we express our joy and often hilarity, j
