mJ THE MUSIC ATHLETIC Jazz Music Is Now All the Rage Throughout Uuiited STAGE 8 J) 1NCE the return of colored 4, military bands from France to these shores the country simply has gone wild about jazz music. It is as much the rage in all sections as the spring styles, and there is every reason to believe that its popularity will increase rather than diminish in the near future. Lovers of syncopation are in debted to the Negro for what is known as ragtime, and despite the false claims of some white writers, the Negro musician is primarily tt sponsible for the introduction of jazz music. "He jazzed everything up," is no new expression to colored members of the theatrical fra ternity. Here is what Mrs.

Vernon the famous' dancer, has to say about jazz: "What is jazz? "There are many people in Eng -land some of them experts in the art of dancing who speak of what they call the jazz dance; there are others who talk about the jazz step as something new in the world of terpsichore. But as far as I am aware, there is no jazz dance or jazz step. "Let me try to define jazz as I understand it The colored bands jazz a tune. That is to say, they slur the notes they syncopate, and each instrument puts in a world of little fancy bits of its own. The dominating feature is brass.

In the United States everyone dances to jazz music, but there are no fixed steps. "Those- people who regard them selves as jazz dancers jazzers, as they doubtless would label them selves are making just this mis take. are being deluded by a very old step in the fox-trot, and, believing it to be a new discovery Instead of a resurrection, they call it jazz. "Jazz is just something you can do with music. But the general idea in England seems to be growing that any syncopation is jazz, and from that idea it is easy to see how people who develop a step to that music commit the common error that they are dancing jazz.

"People have come to me bubbling over with enthusiasm about the jazz dance or the jazz step. I'm just crazy about the step, these enthusiasts say. And when I've asked them to show it me, they've just trotted forth the old fox-trot, pure and simple. "In America jazz means merely something you can do with instruments; in England its meaning is being interpreted into almost anything you can do on the ballroom floor, and so the orchestra is being robbed of its prescriptive right in respect to the use of the wprd. "And now, as the printer's stock of r't must be running very low, I wt leave jazz alone, and close with a few remarks which, perhaps, might interest ballroom dancers here who have not quite capitulated to ja (I thought I had tried the printer too far.) "We are dancinr evervthinr in the United States very smoothly just now, but the valse is seldom to be found on a program.

I do not think it will die altogether, but its day certainly seems to have gone." THEATRICAL JOTTINGS.
