Jooss Has Varied Program.

Kurt Jooss, the young European
who startled the entire dance world
with his Green Table Ballet" a
satiric dance drama anti-war in
theme, will bring that ballet as well
as three entirely different in character
from it, in the first program to be
given by his company in Washington
Friday afternoon, February 81, at the
National Theater. The Jooss Ballet
is presented locally by Dorothy
Hodgkin Dorsey.
When Jooss won the first prize at
the International Dance Congress in
Paris in 1882 with "The Green Table,
he was quite as much surprised as his
family who, along with his neighbors
always considered young Jooss to be
a romantic dreamer. His father had
intended him to become farmer and
continue ancestral traditions. From
boyhood he longed for music. color,
dancing. At the age of II he was
champion waltzer of the district. Il
MIXED COWS till my fingers ached and
had to spend hours in the evenings
massaging them before I could sit
down at the piano." said Jooss in
telling of his efforts at farming.
However, at last when he was i8,
his parents consented to his attending
an art school in a nearby city. For
two years he dabbled in paint and
found time for lessons in acting and
dancing. With his young friend, Fritz
Cohen, he gathered a group of young
girls and men about him and began
what became the Jooss European
Ballet. Their basic aim has been to
express in mute dance terms all the
dramatic events of human life Jooss
wrote stories and choreography; Cohen
did the music, composing or arrang-
ing. Many obstacles, including extra
dition from Germany due to Cohen's
being "non-Aryan," confronted them
They overcame them all and bring
four varied, colorful ballets in their
initial performance in Washington

Famous Exponent of Ro-

His Experiences.
BY NINO MARTINI.


Y VOW I dislike having to talk
- about myself, but everywhere
I see the temperamental
Il trifles of popular artists be-
ing glorif1ed. How silly To me the
greatest happiness is to be able to for
get myself and to be natural. but,
alas, such a privilege is almost i'm
possible in the hectic whirl of today's
professional life.
Especially of late, since the making
of my film, Here's to Romance" my
private life has been as secluded as
that of a prize goldfish. I tell you
it's no fun, and love fun! You know
I'm pretty young even though I have
a few gray hairs here and there.
I hope that as the years pass I will
never harden into a stiff pose that
looks like statue. At my concerts
I want to continue to maintain a
spontaneous Elasticity that responds
to the mood of the moment. I trust
that people will go on liking me that
way.
I am most fond of American audi
ences. They are such romantic listen
ers, and there is nothing halfway
about them. when they really like you.
Their enthusiasm knows no bounds.
I never want my audiences to feel
that I am trying to fiirt with them
when my eyes stray from person to
person as I seek to individually COM
municate the message of song. My
aim is to kindle an air of intimate
friendliness. If I fail, then I am
guilty of gross misdemeanor in con-
cert etiquette.
And it's so satisfying when you see
sparkling smiles ripping on sea Of
faces-that is the thing which puts
ones spirits in the high tide of in
spiration.
No, 1t doesn't take me long to find
out whether an audience Is with me
or not, whether I carry it in my
pocket. In fact, I can tell you that
after my first song. On certain occa-
sions feel the platform am singing
on sink to the level of the audience,
and that we all rise together-that is
an ideal sensation!
Recently while concertizing in Mon
treal the audience worked itself up
into high pitch of enthusiasm. They
wanted more, more, morel After
singing the allotted number Of II or l3
songs, found myself forced to double
my program. Later I was told that
the audience continued, clapping out

it seems as If they were present en-
masse.
AS they surge about me invariably
most amusing thing occurs. Sud-
denly without my knowing it, I find
that am minus my pocket handker-
chief. Admirers are such innocent
kleptomaniacs! You say should pin
in my handkerchief, oh, no, I would
never think of it. AS long as 1t gives
some one pleasure am happy to have
it happen-as long as the habit doesn't
get any more dangerous.
As for my autographing experiences
they, too. have been most amusing. I
have been asked to place my signature
on some Of the most embarrassing
items. However, the farthest I have
gone is putting 1t on a shirt cuff and

Sometimes I say to myself, "I would
like to get away from 1t all" dislike
using such o trite expression, but it
