Raft Says Great Dance Based on Negro Rhythms Star of Feature Picture "Bolero" is Joint Creator of Popular Dance Studied negro Knytnms ana Gets Credit With LeRoy Prim. Yesrs before the dance crate called the "Charleston' swept the nation.

George Raft, featured In the Paramount picture "Bolero," which is a comlni attraction at the RKO Capitol Theatre, stood one dsy In a warehouse in a Southern city during a lunch hour, and watched a ragged negro truck-driver dance. While a moaning harmonica fur nished hot accompaniment to the intricate dance steps. Raft watched entranced. He had Just begun to earn his living as a hoofer, after tiring oi tne -prize ring end baseball. Raft began -to study negro rhythms.

His studies resulted in a dafice creation that brought fame and, years later, controversy. Long slter the "Charleston" had become the greatest dance craze ever to sweep a nation, a number of dancers began to claim authorship of the dence. Recently, by strange coincidence, the two persons most generally accredited with having created the Charleston, worked together on Psramount's "Bolero." The one is Raft and the other. LeRoy Prinz. Paramount'i dance director.

The old controversy over the origin of the dance was stirred snew by Raft's revival of his hot "Charleston" In an early sequence of the picture. Prinz offers documentary oroof of the fact that he Introduced the "Charleston" at the Rainbow Gardens in Chicago In 1913. dancing it to a tune called "High Step."

He says simply: "The dance which lster became known as the "Charleston' did not get that name until a tune of that title was applied to it. 1 had done the dance (or years and I was.

to the best of my knowledge, the first white male dancer ever to Derform it for an audience. I did this dance to Georgia a composition by Ben Bernie. and I first won real recoenition with it at Texas Gui- nan's Elfey Club. It was long sfter-wsrd that the tune called -Charleston' was assoclsted with the type of dance I waa doinc." Raft was the first to Introduce the dance abroad and created a sensation with It in Pari and- London. In the latter place he won new fame when the Prince of Wales silted to be taught the dance, and In appreciation presented Raft with a costly clgaret lighter.

Raft attributes much of his ability to create and execute Intricate dance steps to his early study of negro rhythms, a period In which he Isid up a store of tempo vsria-lions and syncopation Ideas thst he still can draw upon. The oicture. "Bolero." has Its sensational climactic dance scenes- based on Maurice Ravel a Famous "Bolero," the picture which stars Raft features Carole Lombard. Sally Rand, the Fan Dancer, and Frances Drake. It tells the story of a glamorous dancer who rose from cheap dives to world fame by climbing on a ladder of women's hearts.
