Margaret Severn—a Dancer of Moods

Now One of the Attractions of the Greenwich Village Follies

WHEN Miss Severn first appeared as an incidental dancer at the Palais Royal, discriminating observers realized that here was an American with something more than an aptitude for dancing. For Miss Severn has both feeling for the subtleties of a rhythmic mood and a genuine talent for expression. This judgment has been confirmed by popular approval since her appearance in this season's "Greenwich Village Follies". In this richly coloured revue, Miss Severn is the principal figure in two diverse scenes. She is seen as the danseuse in the Persian scene, and, later, does a series of pas seuls wearing the masks of Mr. W. T. Benda. In these, she interprets with charming variety of expression the suggestions afforded by each mask.
