DANCERS PROSECUTED.
DRESS AND MORALITY. London, March 27. Harry Pilcer, formerly dancing partner of the late Gaby Deslys, and Mademoiselles Zouluiaka and Raima, appearing as dancers in the revue at the Palace Music Hall, were the first artists to appear before the magistrate under the Government order for the suppression of offences on the stage against public morality, says- the Paris correspondent .of the Times. Pilcer is aggrieved, as he was covered to the neck in a tight-fitting costume, resembling a piebald animal, in the scene “L’Apres-midi d’un Faune,” whereas Nijinski, the previous delineator of the part, was naked to the waist, and no action was taken. Mlle. Zouliaka. clad in a mp?t abbreviated costume, gives an Oriental dance, voluptuous and ljut the manager complains that the dance is no worse than many others of the same type always staged in Paris. The decision of the magistrates is awaited with the greatest interest.
