...ceremony was ridiculous but impressive. In a long box erected in the curve of the horseshoe stadium, sat grey-haired Mr. Sears, Henry Ward Slocum and some 30 other onetime champions and proxies for a few, among them Maurice E.

Save for Dancer Shawn, operatically devilish as a deep green Satan, the Denishawns did little more than suggest Blake's eloquent figures. Composer Williams' score was politely modern, lacked movement...
