appearance in this city, couple Of

The dance in India enters into
every ceremony of the personal, reli-
gious or national life. For centuries
its movements have been fixed by rule
and every gesture of head, hands and
feet or posture of body has a deep
significance. It was Shan-Kar's object
to inject into these movements the
quality that would project their mean
ing to the foreign public while intensi-
flying the artistic lines. The amount
of research required was enormous, for
he had to perfect himself in the sacred
lore of his religion, the intricacies OF
its dance Interpretation and the many
nuances of its musical accompaniment.
The program on Tuesday afternoon
will include three musical 1nterludes,
on native instruments, one OF which,
the tabla tarango, drum with one
head, will be played by the artist
