The opening group, drawn from
past history picturing the Aztec
Emperor Montezuma, the Spanish
conquerors and the Forty Miners,
was the most colorful series of
dances, as far as costumes were
concerned.
The group designated as the
present included a suite Of sports,
war, the jazz decade, and the de-
lightful comedy scene Of the march
of the Veterans of Future Wars.
The sports suite is an enlargement
of the theme of the baseball dance
which we recall seeing Ted Shawn
do about IL years ago, when he
was in partnership with Ruth st.
Denis.
The stark reality of the war Sc
quences, Call to Arms, No Mans
Land and Return of the Hero,
were convincing peace propaganda.
When Shawn appeared as DepreS-
sion, in a costume resembling a
witch with the cross-hatched lines
of descending graph, he struck
a note of all too recent happen
ings for the audience to fail to
catch the full significance.
The march of the Veterans of
Future Wars was a traveSty on
those college undergraduates who
have now turned their energies
toward the Supreme Court issue.
There was much merriment when
a dancer appeared astride a
three-wheeled kiddie push cycle
with the front wheel off center,
followed later by the ensemble
in paper hats and shorts doing
military maneuvers with rubber
daggerS.
The future group included the
suite that Ted Shawn gave here
last season entitled Kinetic
Molpai, made up Of II moods
that were of an abstract nature.
Ted Shawn and the ensemble
were given an ovation at the
close of the concert.

answer the insistent and disturb
ing "jazz" call of the orchestra.

cumbs to the excitement Of this

he was a student at Curtis Insti-

Salzedo, and won a scholarship at
the Curtis Institute, following

to jazz or swing music.
