Mary Jane, Diminutive Dancing Doll in "Yes, Yes, Yvette," Laments Flying Exit Into Wings--Prefers Black Bottom.

Petite and piquante Mary Jane, dancing star of "Yes, Yes, Yvette," granted an interview yesterday to the CRIMSON, back-stage, before the matinee performance at the Wilbur. Discussing the particular phase of the terpsichorean art in which she excells, Mary Jane remarked that the public has a decided preference for slapstick dancing. "The audience delights in the 'knock down and drag out' burlesque dance, and such a number in the repertory of a professional dancer, means more applause and more money. However, one pays fully for both. The audience cannot appreciate the risks that one has to take to achieve funny and ridiculous positions. In making my curtain calls with my partner after our burlesque number we achieve an added effect by my flying exits into the wings. It the stage manager has had an attack of absent mindedness and is conspicuous by his being away, I either land up against the wall or in a heap on the floor.

"Again in this same number 'I have to leap from the floor onto a table and off about ten times in succession. If one is not terribly careful, it is annoyingly easy to scrape one's leg in making the flight."

When asked which she preferred to do, the Charleston or the Black Bottom, Mary Jane expressed her opinion that the Black Bottom would last longer than the Charlestown as a stage favorite. "When I danced in the Ziegfield Follies I soon tired of the Charleston and was glad to change to the Black Bottom in which I have put variations of my own."
