Cleveland is in the main stream of things modern and smart. Cleveland applauded importantly two years ago when Doris Humphrey of Manhattan's Dance Repertory Theatre, lecturing at the art museum, called the ballet "an artificial type of toe-dancing." German Dancer Mary Wigman brought to Cleveland her stark rhythms, her "rich speech of the body."

...cousins down South. This advantage, upon which Maine's lobster industry was built, last week threatened to ruin it.
