Based on the short number of
years he has been internationally
famous, Kreutzberg's career is yet in
it's infancy. But his is a powerful,
expressionistic art developed through
years of training and a deep love
for the dance. However, it was not
until Max Reinhardt bro ,ght
Kreutzberg to this country il. his
production Of Midsummer Nights
Dream" that the American critics
and public became 'Kreutzberg-
cGscious."
It was not in Midsummer Nights
Draeam," that Kreutzberg first
gained enthusiastic recognition, but
in matinee-recita wedged on be-
tween performances one Sunday
afternoon Appearing in this joint
recital with lilly Losch, Kreutzberg
was Immediately heralded as the
greatest living exponent of the mod
ern dance.
Wherever Harald Kreutzberg and
Yvonne Georgi have danced in
America they have been asked if
they are married. Usually the
young German artists merely shake
their heads in the negative and
laugh. The question is asked by al
most everyone who has seen them
dance. It is probably the result of
their evident harmony.
For the satisfaction of their ad-
mirers, however, let it be known
that they are unmarried. Neither
of them is we'd, to the other, nor to
anyone else. At present they are,
as the movie actresses say, welded
to their art.
They have been friends since early
youth when they were pupils as the
same dance school in Berlin. Even
then they had begun to evolve
dances which led to their present
partnership eliminating in their re-
nown as the worlds greatest
dancers.
