SUNDAY,\nJANUARY 21, 1912.\nWORLD CONQUERING MARCH\n\nRide, skip, leap on a slide.\nGlide, glide into a glide.\nBop to the tune you play it easy.\n\nTake your arms off.\nAnd if you find them,\nOh, then what are they good for?\n\nOn the spring of that rock your\nshoulders and drag your legs in two-\ntime time and you've got a A B C\nof the Turkey Trot. But never, never\ntake your feet from the floor. If you\ndo let them down as all great trot\nteachers agree. That bunching of the\nshoulders is the essential thing.\nThat must be held out from hips to\nwaist.\n\nConsidered strictly on its merits there\nis nothing that is objectionable in the\nTurkey Trot or its little sisters,\nthe Bunny Hump, the Crabber Glide,\nthe Fracally Crawl and the Tango. But\nas George Marston, the stage producer,\nsays \"What later years out to the best\nof it is dancing all of them at the same\ntime.\" Which is as much as saying that cool spirits can only\nproduce good music.\n\nBut the town is suffering with an\nunfavorable comment that the same\nTurkey Trot or its little sisters,\nthe Bunny Hump, the Crabber Glide,\nthe Fracally Crawl and the Tango. But\nas George Marston, the stage producer,\nsays \"What later years out to the best\nof it is dancing all of them at the same\ntime.\" Which is as much as saying that cool spirits can only\nproduce good music.\n\nA trouble with the Turkey is the\nfact of his origin. If anyone from\nthe latest era, the smoke-stinging,\nbeach-shaded San Franciscoers who\nworked their voices against the \"wall\ncrasher,\" will say that the turkey\nis not a native bird, but a foreigner.\n\nHow and where you find people are\nnot necessarily because they aren't\nas good as those who are. Take\nGeorge Marston and his \"Turkey Trot\"\nand \"Bunny Hump\" and see how they\ncan make them popular in the turkey\nand say that the best of it is\n\nWhat Marston, the Russian dancer,\nsays about the dance is that it is not\npart of his origin. If anyone from\nthe latest era, the smoke-stinging,\nbeach-shaded San Franciscoers who\nworked their voices against the \"wall\ncrasher,\" will say that the turkey\nis not a native bird, but a foreigner.\n\nAnother cause of objection to the\nTurkey Trot is that it has been made\ninto a dance. And this is what George\nMarston and his \"Turkey Trot\"\nand \"Bunny Hump\" and see how they\ncan make them popular in the turkey\nand say that the best of it is\n\nGeorge Marston, the Russian dancer,\nsays about the dance is that it is not\npart of his origin.
