hind women and thousands of middle
aged couples crowded the floor from
the first note and stayed until the
last.
"It was 9:30 before Mr. and Mrs
Ben Lovett, the Ford dancing teach-
era, appeared and gave a brief dem
onstration of the old-fashioned dances
on the stages. Then began an effort
to form sets for a quadrille. Every
man and woman of that vast audi
ence seemed determined to dance it.
It took almost half an hour to drive
some of the less-determined folks
from the floor so that Hie set could
be made up. It began at last and
things went with a whoop At the
end of the first dance such a yell
arose as has not echoed through the
hall since it was built.
"Handclapping was lost in the
shouts and demands for "More. more "
The spirit of the dance communicated
itself to the younger generation, and
they fought with the ‘old timers' for
space to dance. If the orchestra had
been able to stand it the jam would
have kept them busy all night. As it
was, the quadrille was no sooner over
and the regular hall orchestra called
in for relief than a demand for a
'rye waltz' arose. and to the aston-
ishment of the management and oth-
ers who declared the old-fashioned
dancers would never 'catch on." the
floor was jammed even more than for
the quadrille, and the yells were just
as loud for more of that.
“It became necessary to plead with
the crowd to get off the floor and
give others a chance, but it was not
until promises had been megaphoned
for old-fashioned dances every Tues-
day that anything like order was re

Will the old-fashioned dances ever
come back?
This question which is echoed from
every part of the country ever since
Henry Ford started to popularize the
music and dances of yesterday, finds
an answer in the Detroit News in the
review of an old fashioned dance held
as an experiment in a Detroit dance
hall frequented by the so-called
younger set.
Officials of the dunce hall had
staged the dance for the express ben-
efit of those of another generation
who had been literally crowded from
the dance floor by modern jazz mu-
sic. But, they scarcely anticipated
"five thousand men and women howl-
ing for the right to dance,” the waltz,
schottische, polka and form dances.
And, included in those who partici-
pated in this demonstration were all
ages from 16 to 60.
"The spirit of the quadrille, that
began in a lowly way must have blink-
< l It* eyes in wonderment," says the
Detroit News. "It was born to swish
of hoop skirts and the times when
the society reporter gravely reported,
