JOCKEY DANCER
[ Kenneth Robertson, an English ; Lightweight jockey, who: has: ridden for most of the leading stables, has-been offered an attractive engagement 'to appear in revue as a -special •'■ dancer (says the "Daily Mail").' . ', ■ "I am considering It," he said. ''I have not arranged to ride in India, this winter, and dancing would help to keep ■me fit for the next facing season.'? The proposal made to Robertson is the result of an astonishingly clever display of eccentric dancing which he gave, quite urirehearsed,~at the.dinner given in London by Gordon Richards; the champion jockey, to hisV brother jockeys. The cabaret artists/ including a troupe of dancing girls, who were performing at the Piccadilly Hotel, entertained Richards's party, and Robertson joined each "act," danced in time with the others, and gave great amusement both to the guests and tho artists. Robertson's skill as a dancer— and.it is certainly high—has often entertained his-fellow passengers during the several journeys that he has mad! between England and India. He is an expert stop-dancer.
