...Hari," which was reviewed in the CRIMSON on January 7, is now the major attraction at the University Theatre. It has the double disadvantage of being a story enshrouded in legend of which everyone knows something, and of following the similar movie, 'Dishonored." Without Greta Garbo as the famous dancer in the espionage service of the Central Powers, the movie would be utterly unsuccessful, so weak is the plot...
...know a little old gentleman with baggy trousers, a beard and a beady eye who is the city's most persistent exhibition visitor. All of them know that he is Louis Michel Eilshemius M. A., by his own admission painter, poet, musician, inventor, marksman, and "Ex Fancy Amateur Dancer." He loves to buttonhole strangers in hallways and describe his own superior accomplishments. He was once wealthy. He is still listed in the Social Register, lives in a brownstone house on East 57th Street and has spent a fortune on strange pamphlets and books to prove that Elshemus or Eilshemius...
...fertile that they can raise three crops a year with almost no effort. They divide their spare time between the practice of the arts (music, dancing, sculpture) and the practice of eccentric rites, such as building wooden statues to serve as decoys for devils.

Further confirmation of the vogue for Bali was supplied...
Noisy, frizzy-haired Eva Tanguay was headliner at the gaudy Metropolitan cinemansion in Boston last week. Two Kinds of Women showed loose living in a Manhattan penthouse (see p. 25). A yodler, a tap dancer and a funnyman did clipped, automatic turns but there was still an "added attraction," sparsely advertised. After the newsreel the curtain went up again, showed a dumpy, henna-haired old lady standing perched on a platform, her immense bosom shining with sequins as the Old Lady hesitated, looked at the words she had written on a paper before her, began a little gingerly to sing...
...Vaslav Nijinsky was by no means unique in turning from dancing to painting. Dancers in the U. S. who have been converted to camas include Paul Swan and Hubert Stowitts. Slim, classic-featured Mr. Swan used to perform rhythmic rites in dark theatres on Sunday nights. Now he covers large canvases with intricate designs, all highly symbolical. Before he turned to painting racial types of India Mr. Stowitts attracted considerable attention in the Parisian press by posturing at private parties completely nude and painted blue. Historian Hendrik Willem van Loon's son Willem Gerard van Loon reversed the process...
