"PLESIOSAURIAN GLIDE"
Philadelphia danoing- teachers hail with delight news from Buenos Aires that a new terphsiohorean wrinkle, called the plesiosaurian glide, has boon invented, and that three new tangoes. have been dedicated to the Patagonian monster for which Argcntino naturalists are still on a hunt.
They united in saying that if the dance proves popular it will 6ound tho deathknell of the "shimmy" and its little sister the "toddle." :■'■■■■
■ The faofc that the plesiosaurian glide is done to tango filled one teacher with hope. Once popularise the tango, she said, and something artistio will have been accomplished. Jazz danoin'r is dying, the teacher continued, and the tango will mark the passing of music that suggests feeding time »t the zoo or lightning striking a hardware store. Another teacher said he welcomed the innovation, but that th& name probably would have to bo changed to fit the vocabulary of the danoing public. When told of the plesiosaurius' alleged love for prehistoric mud, the teacher suggested "mud turtle glide."
