GAME AND MARTIAL DANCES: War and dance now appear anti-theatrical, but it was not so in ancient days, when there were no airplanes, no bombs, no ballistic missiles and no guns either. Weapons like swords, clubs and spears were quite weighty, and to wield them with consummate artistry, required such pliability of the body, which only a dancer could have. at the time of that antiquated past. Men at arms used to parade the artistry of wielding the weapons to the beat of drums. Out of this practice originated several forms of dances, which are still surviving in many parts of this country. Every game has an inherent rhythm of its own. In most of the cases it is so covert that unless very carefully observed it is not perceptible.
