ALI has the faculty. or the gift. to make
her delineations impersonal and yet
definitely to portray basic principles
underlying human emotions and re-
actions.
Fe Alf has a beautifully nodded and
perfectly controlled body which she
uses with grace, even in the angular
motions upon which her dancing ap-
pears to be based. Yet, in spite Of
the angular motion, there Is con-
tinuity, something closely akin to the
legato in music, in her work. And
always there is rhythm and no ap-
parent effort, no matter what the
position, pose or gymnastic. she uses.
Seldom through the program was her
breathing detected. nor was there q
trace of fatigue even in the most
vigorous of the numbers.

as the "distan contingent" are Sally
O'Dea and Joan Collette, Offering spe-

dance. Jack Richards appears to ad-
vantage in the featured singer spot.
Reserved for special praise is the
team of Gates and Clair. The Cir
cult has done well by terpsichore this

TALLAHASSEE, March G.
There is no way, under the pres

to benefit from the homestead

General Cary d. Lands has held
Even though a person may be
otherwise qualified, Attorney
General Lands held in an opin-

Lee, he is not entitled TO the tax
exemption granted by the new
constitutional amendment unless
he is a citizen of Florida and re-
sides in the state. The opinion
was in connection with applica-
ton of a British subject for ex-
emption.
The constitutional amendment
defines a homestead and tells
plainly who may and who may not
benefit from its provision, the at
torney general wrote Lee.
