THE ART OF PAVLOVA.
POPULARITY IN SYDNEY. f [FROM OUR OWN . CORRESPONDENT. J SYDNEY. April 29.. Sydney just now is divided roughly into two classes—those who have been able to afford to see Pavlova, and those who haye not been able to afford to do so. Pavlova, it seems, is all that has been claimed for her. Every favourable superlative in the dictionary has been worked overtime by the critics, in describing the queen of the terpsichorean art, her superb dancing, a youthful, slim figure, " the Very incarnation of grace, lightness, and exquisite charm," the exquisite movements of her arms and hands, and all the other qualities of a supreme artist. Sydney got its first glimpse of Pavlova on the at the end of the first sceiie of the "I'airy Doll," when the shopkeeper draws back -the curtains, revealing the doll standing in a strikingly bwiutiful position with a wand in her hand. The doll remained stationary for some time, when the shopkeeper touched her, and she became a living thing, the embodiment of grace, and light as air. It was Pavlova, of course.
