ballet.
Entirely different from both pre-
ceding ballets will be the third given
here, "a Ball in Old Vienna" Ro-
nance and intrigue in that capital in
the gay '40s will feature the story Of
this ballet, and the costumes for it
are particularly colorful.
When the Jooss Ballet comes to the
National Theater there will be 80 in
the troupe to present this program.
Simplicity is the keynote Of every
ballet staged by Kurt Jooss. His goal
is the Interpretation of life through
the medium of movement and
rhythm. Every human emotion from
tragedy to comedy and especially in
the field of satire is the aim Of this
director through the varied dance
movements accompanied by facial ex-
preston. He especially stresses fun
damentals and the elimination of all
non-eSsentials in order to convey
simply, yet emphatically, the his
trionic mes sage each individual
dancer has to convey.

fore ones eyes and fulfill or leave
unfulfilled the Straining after the at
tainment of this elusive quality. But
music treats of beauty in different
fashion, in so delicate and subtle a
manner and with such an all-embrac-
ing sweep that each can discover the
linements of his own particular idea
of beauty. Not through form or con-
struction is this done, but with har-
monies whose power lies in the
awakening of a grateful understanding
from the listener. And this under
standing, which springs from the heart
and not from the mind, is the force
that clears away the evil and the
ordinary and inclines one from the
earthly to the finer planes where
human happiness exists.
When one considers that music Is
a record of all the emotional expert
ences of the whole span of the human
life, its unfailing appeal will be readily
comprehended. The beat of rhythm
with its crude expression of primitive
joy or sorrow, the folk songs fashioned
with the same simplicity as was the
daily life and poignant with unrebel-
hous submission to conditions, the
sturdy hymn tunes of the early
church, rugged, yet strong with feeling,
down to the noble musical monuments
left by the great composers of their
search for the infinite, the sentiments
which stir the world to activity are
recorded Without knowing how or
why the echo of these feelings is
found, clear and exact, in the heart
today when it is submissive to the in
huence of music.
1t is a good thing to keep the link
with the past unbroken in this fash
ion, to cherish the shadows of the
great thoughts and sentiments that
courSed through the souls of mighty
men. Music must carry on and there
is no starting afresh on a clean page,
untouched by the SORROWS that have
been experienced before. Rather, it
choose, to be guided and supported
by the glorious history tnat music mas
inscribed in immortal tones.
Music is not for the gifted or the
intellectual alone, nor for particular
season of the year. Paderewski said:
Il have noticed in instances of those
who profess not to understand it or
pose as silent enemies of my art, that
they are still extremely pleased with
pieces of their level. These people
are attracted by some frivolous rhythm
or moved by some bars of simple,
touching melody, and for this reason
I am inclined to believe that some
music, like certain poetry, finds its
appeal and way to ALL" The continu-
ance of good music through the Sum-
mer, under conditions within the reach
of all, will do more to arouse a desire
for more and better music than any
of the superlative Winter music events
can accomplish.
