Noted Hindu Dancer Will
Appear at Caleb Mills
Hall.

Recognition of the art behind the
novelty of the dances and music of
India, which Uday Shan-Kar and
his company will bring to Caleb
Mills hall next Wednesday to open
the civic music season of five con-
certs, has been accorded in all the
cities of Europe and the United
States where they have visited.
In a long review of their per-
formance appearing in the New
York Times, the critic says:
From the purely visual point Of
view, it presents brilliant spec
tacle. The dancers are personally
beautiful, the costumes are rich,
and even the musical instruments
are pictorial. Though the dances
are absolutely authentic, the thea
trical quality has not been lost.
They build in excellent form, some
times to stunning climaxes, and are
never without definite beginning,
middle and end"
Their dancing first of all is rhyth-
mic. Precision in accent and phras-
ing and coordination of muscular
action are points praised by critics,
and in spite of the traditional back
ground of these dances, they never
are permitted to become purely
formal, but always retain the vital
ity and freshness of spontaneous
creations.
A certain number of memberships
still are available in the association.
Headquarters is in the Medical
Arts building.

The most notable achievement
was the production of organ and
other instrumental sounds. This was
especially noticed in cat Church
and I'm Memoriam," a mass said
for the dead.
The reproduction of ringing bells
in Holy Night" was positive proof
of the advancement of the chorus.
The solo work received splendid
support from the remainder of the
chorus.
My favorite of the program was
the odd Cossack Song" in which
whistler proved to be a sensa-
ton. This number caused the big
ovation and then the conductor
brought on three dancers in the
steps of the soldiers of old Russia
This novelty received so much
applause that another encore was
added.
These men sing without any eff
fort and the years of training under
Serge Jaroff have produced amaz-
ing results. Here is real choral
singing.
The chorus was presented at Eng

Heather Angel is seen in her first
major part opposite Mr.. Howard
She takes the role of his sweet
heart, the winsome and lovable
Helen Pettigrew of the story.
Unique in its theme, a fervid love
story, intermingling fantasy and
reality in a romance which bridges
two centuries and overcomeS the
barriers of time, Berkeley Square

which distinguished "Cavalcade.
Mr.. Howard, as Peter Standish, is

So convinced is he that the past

NEW YORK. Aug. % GN.S).-
The lid is about to be blown off or
undercover New York politics.
Whether the explosion reverber
ates with a boom" or a "blah" is
UP to the members of the New
York county grand jury.
The ammunition is before them
today in the form of voluminous
evidence submitted by U. S. Attor
ney George z. Medalie, Republican
to support his charges that politi
clans are working in tandem with
racketeers.
Becker Case Recalled
It is interesting to note that
Medalie was a protege Of Former
Governor Charles S. Whitman
who prosecuted the case of Lieut.
Charles Becker, of the New York
police department. The Becker
case with it's revelations. of deal
ings between gangsters and police
officials, caused a political up
heaval. It sent Becker to the elec
trio chair for plotting the murder
of Herman Rosenthal, Broadway
gambler, and Whitman to to the
gubernatorial mansion.
There are more disgruntled ele.
ments within the wigwam than
at any time since the retirement
of Richard Crocker as boss in
1901.
Medalie, appearing before the
senatorial subcommittee on rack
eteering, declared he could name
at least four District political
leaders allied with gangsters.
The grand jury called Medalie.
For two hours, Medalie presented
documents and oral testimony to
support his charges.
Judge to Testify
Benjamin Minton, foreman of
the grand jury, announced the
higher body would investigate the
charges to the fullest extent.
Justice Frederic Kernochan,
Democrat, of Special Sessions
Court, telegraphed from East
Dennis, Mass, he would be glad
to appear to testify "as soon as
possible"
Justice Kernochan will uphold
the charges of Medalie.
He told the Copeland committee
that gangsters contributed to cam
paign funds of political leaders
and high police officials were e
susceptible" to political pres
sure.
A third witness, who testified
before the Copeland group n d
may be summoned by the grand
jurors, is Warden Lewis E. LaweS,
of Sing Sing prison, who told the
senatorial investigators ''racketeers
are affiliated with politicians"
