Tho programmo of tho Ruth St.
Denis Concert-Dancers at Houston's
Opera House lam night more than ful
filled all expectation.
Tho audience was prepared for
something unusual .and novel' but
had no, conception of the beauty and
pure enjoyment In store for, them,
Whllo perhaps the psychological sig
nificance' of many of the'' dances;
which were Interpretative ot the mo
tives of the music, may not have ap
pealed, to some, still everyone appre
ciated and enjoyed the settings,' the
play of lights, the costumes, colors,
and above all the pure, :llthe trace of
the dancers which was, beyoad -description,
Inimitable; 4
' The audience which flUed theopera
house was intensely: appreciative aad
tho performers responded getferously
If would be difficult to distinguish
for all the numbers, were -flawes.l
The ensemble numbers-wlth tbelrln-
trlcate figures and massed tableaux
were received with enthusiasm -
Grieg's "March of the Dwarfs"
was a fairy tale come truerr-Mlsa
Clalro NBes Interpretation ot the old
Norse legend as pictured In Grieg's
music was poetry and pure "jfuncy
translated Into grace, moponTan;d lm
pginatlon. Perhaps the most difficult
of. all tho numb'ers was Miss Nlles In
tensely dramatic Interpretation of
tho French song by Hue, ''J'al Pleure
en Rove," sung with Intense tooling
by Mr. Ellis Rhodes nnd rendered
moro dream-like and unroal by the
purplo draperies and shadows. ,

memory of Dorothy Bower.;,
Doris Humphrey was a revelation
Could ariythlnr be so light as that
beautiful figure floating through the
scarf dance Interpreting Chamlnado's
Vnlso Caprice. It was. as evanescent
nnd brilliant 83 a rainbow.
The "Marum" or ''Why" of Schu
mann, tho question asked ot Fate,
was Interpreted, by Clalro Nlles and
RUth Autln In a manner to leavo up
on the mind a shadow ot deep mys
tery. Tho "Abend" as danced by
Kathorlno Hawloy nnd ensemblo with
tho palo shimmering bluqs and whites
as seen through the dim lights was a
dream ot statoly figures.
No account ot this concert would
be complete without special reference
to the singing ot Mr. Ellis Rhodes
Tho nudlence recojved him as no ten
or has bofore been received in this
city. The dramatic quality of his ten
or nnd his delicate interpretation
wero thoroughly appreciated and ap-
pluudod.
The nrt. of his. singing was exquis
ite. In his first group of songs hla
"Orpheus and his Lute." Sir Arthur
Sullivan's setting v of Shakespeare's
song, was most appreciated. His ".I
Hear You Calling Me", and "Smiling
Through", reached the hearts of his
audience. But the most difficult work
of Mr. Rhodes, carried through with
faultless art, was his singing with
the Interpretative dancing. This" is
something unique and. Is an Idea of
Miss St. Denls.f Tho 'development tXA
her Idea was most dramatically ac-v
compllshed by ,Ellls Rhodes nnd the
dancers last night.
The success of the whole program
was largely due 'to th's work .of Miss
Pauline Lawrence at the piano. She
acted as tho medium, between the
composers and 'the dancers. Her in
terpretations werei thoroughly Mtls
tlc. H,er playing, especially tbe accom
paniments, was most aeucate,
"This
U the first appearance of' the Ruth
St, Denis and the art ot her country
but It Is to be hoped that It will not
be the last. Such a, performance as
that ot last evening, pure and elevat
ing, devoid ot all elements wbjch
have so disgraced the dancing ot the
stage, was stimulating to. the mthd
and imagination, and opened up a
view as into another world, Into

Secretary Lane In letters to Senator
Chamberlan and representative Sin

unchanged., and that his action is In
recognition of the protest ot the Am

Oregon delegation and officials ot
Klamath.
''In my judgment the stopping -of

Lane. ''I waa anxious to see .repre

am disappointed that none appeared,
as I can see that they, are under ml-
apprehension as to the Whole, situa
tion. Doak and'flrown will, I presBnte,
proceed to. dlW private lands, eicla-
siv.e of public lands unless, congress
wjsh'es to appropriate money for dik
ing public lands. This can be done
but I have ho (power to compel it to
bo done by pbak and brown or the
power .company;. The government
feels It must have the waters of Klam
ath lake for the benefit of irrigable
lands below these, waters. At the low
est estimate It would Increase the ir
rigated lands by more than 40,000
acres, much of "which would be open
.to homestead' entry. The soldiers
could take this, land In preference to
tulo marsh lands, which in my Judg
tnent are not fitted for homesteads
excepting n very largo bodies for
gracing."
Lane says ho, has had In view the
construction of'a dam without ex
pense to the government or water-users,
the Increasing ot. 8toreU,tn

poses. "I fav'or,apProv,n6' the lease

proves In view ot protests made tho
proposition ot Representative Raker
that the lease be made with the con
dition that If at any time congress
compensates iDbak and Brown tor ac

Lane adds (hat he understands

today when Jas. Watkins, Jr., and

contemplated building to the govera

We havo found that" we are v un
able to go ahead with the bulldlag,"
said- Mr. Watkins today. "Prices ot
material, labor, and all. elements en
tering into the construction, have
gone up since we made our original
plans. The financial support that
we would have to enlist Is, under tho
circumstances, next to impossible to
secure, and so we have asked th
government to cancel the contract."

terms ot renewal are not satisfactory
to the government, the rental ask'edL
being' far beyond ,what the denart-

Also the growth ot the daily mail

has caused the present quarters to

While speculation is- rite as to
