...telling how Bonnie Prince Charlie escaped to Skye, while warriors fell and their women grieved. At one point, while the group was demonstrating Margaret Morris' own exercise movements, the audience spotted a typical burlesque grind. As old as the Scottish hills, the grind used to be considered "too rude" in Scotland, explained Dancer Morris, but U.S. movies and musicals have made it "respectable." Altogether, fans found the Stone Age full of good fun and interesting dancing...
