Give EN- a Laugh.

"PUT few belly laughs in ballet
and it will become one Of
Americas favorite forms Of enter
tainment."
That was the declaration Of George
Balanchine, internationally famous
ballet master, when he arrived in
Hollywood for his first picture COM
mitment. Fresh from a triumph in
New York, where he presented the
mlrth-provoking Gard Party" Ballet
at the Metropolitan Opera House, he
begins a career in motion pictures by
staging the dance numbers for Sam
uel Goldwyns new film, The Gold
wyn Follies"
In America, because of its studied
seriousness, the ballet in the past has
found very limited audience" Bal
anchine declared. Americans are
fond of fine dancing, but they also
insist upon humor in their enter
tainment. Thus the logical step, to
make the country ballet conscious, is
to combine the two.
Putting laughs into ballet, in my
opinion, does not detract from the art
of the dance"
Balanchine has been hailed all over
the world as the successor" of Min
sky, the most famous Of all ballet
masters.

At 81 years Of age, Goodman, who
is making more money than he ever
dreamed existed in the world, is con-
vinced that rhythm is the word for

not for an audience of stage hands
and the idle curious.
This was not rehearsal, YOU under
stand. She merely could not keep her
feet still while there was such music
in the air.
Because thousands of other people
in New York ard elsewhere have felt
precisely the same urge when listening
to Benny Goodman's swingmen, he
is today the undisputed king of a
musical form that is alternately the
llvellest and the craziest manifesto
ton Of jazz. The experts say that
swing goes back to the old Dlxieland
Band, and they've dug up records to
prove it. It's current life, however, is
based upon an ability to produce
series of peculiar and involuntary
tWitchings, palpitations and exuber-
ance in all who hear it rendered by
experts.
Goodman, who began his career as a
clarinetist in a children's orchestra
at Hull House in Chicago. is neither
theorist nor a wizard about swing
He merely knows how to deal out
what the customers want-or to put
it better, he has made them want the
kind Of music he can produce
Knowing that he must be dead on
his feet after playing five shows a
day all week long, we asked the
mighty Benny last Thursday If he
did not feel some lift, some special
exaltation. when his band went into
action. He said no. he thought not
1t was just that he and the boys
liked to swing it.
Whatever his analysis of the psy-
chology of the thing, any one who
watched him on the stage half an
hour later would know Enthusiastically
that real swingman-rideman, if you
want the lingo-is as hopped-up with
his own hot blood as died-in-the-
wool horse player.
VOUR race fan says around the
office all morning and goes to
the track in the afternoon, thereupon
becoming endowed with an almost
superhuman enthusiasm and energy
Away from the ponies, he lapses once
more into whatever state of lassitude
BELTS the occasion.
The same obviously is true Of a
crew like Goodmans. Before the
show in question here, for example,
Goodman was calling for tomato juice
to refresh himself: Gene Krupa, his
drummer, was wrestling all the dainty
little devils of morning after; Lionel
Hampton, the vibraharp boy, seemed
to be worn down by his own excite
ment over some phonograph records,
and Teddy Wilson, the fourth man
IN the quartet, appeared none too gay.
Thirty minutes later the same four
whipped of the best and hottest
show of the week. We had seen
three others since opening day, and
in none did the boys hit the groove
so beautifully and so hard.

this-the tirelessness of the human

that leaves not the smallest doubt they
have fallen suddenly and desperately
in love. OF course, a 12-reel film and
a one-act play are not the same thing
at all. In the latter there's not Sec
ond TO waste. The point goes home

bored. Mr.. Coward knows that and in
showing 1t presented no lnsuperable
obstacle to speedy, yet understandable,
action, he gave the movies way out
of the present situation. If, of course,
they want a way out. They probably
do not. They like their own concep-

Of its victims. And who is this guy

Limitations. They keep on staring

at first sight is something that comes
