HELEN KELLER HEARS
FOR THE FIRST TIME
"I Have Heard 1 I Could Ween for
Joy!" She Exclaims at Singer's
Notes.
Los Angeles, Cel., .March 7.
Thursday was a day of miracles for
Helen Keller, the deaf, blind, and for
a time dumb girl, who is at the Audi
torium. Into the soundless world i:i
which she has lived since her birth
the sweet, high notes of a song pene
trated and Helen Keller, for the first
time in her life, actually heard sound.
Hitherto she has "beard" through
her, aensative fingers, which she plae
on the lips and throat of the person
whose words she wished to read.
This time the beautiful high notes
of a selection from "Die Walknere,'
sung by Mme, Saltzman-Stevens of
the Chicago Grand C'pera Company,
reached the girl's brain through her
ears.
With uplifted hands and heaving
bosom she exclaimed ever- and over
at the completion of the song: "Oh,
I have heard! I have heard! I could
weep for joy!"
The meeting of the two women was
by cliance and only a few persons
were present.

THE CRAZE TOR DANCING.
Pavlowa, the Famous Russian Dancer
of the Imperial Ballet, in Atlanta.
Atlanta, March 9. The craze for
dancing, and the popular revival of
that art were manifested in Atlanta
last night by the record-hi taking anl
representative crowd which tilled the
Atlanta theatre to see the most
famous living exponent of the dance,
Mile. Auna Pavlowa, anil the Rus
sian Imperial ballet oi which she is
the head.
It was an artistic event par excell
ence, and probably the imt import
ant of its kind in the season. The
scenery and costumes were by Bakst,
the great Russian creative artist who
lives in Paris, and whose paintings
and costume designs have gradually
become famous even on this side ol.
the Atlantic.
But if Atlanta tangoers and hesi
tation waltzers expected to get any
practical benefit from seeing Pavlowa
dance and mutating her grace, they
were disappointed. . It would be as
impossible for an ordinary dancer to
imitate Pavlowa effectively as if
would for a sign-painter to imitate
one of Michael Angela's frescoes.
Pavlowa is being accorded in At
lanta the honors due irk ; "great ar

pear in two more productions, this
afternoon and tonight.
