TWO DANGERS MAKE BIG 60
 IN NEW YORK
Veloz and Yolanda Show What Stick-to-It Can
 Really Do
By GEORGE TUCKER


 NEW YORK. May 19.-The story of Veloz and Yolanda is one oI t he classic you-can-get-there-iI- you try-hard-enough tales of bali room dancing. Ten years ago they were winning bronze medals at amateur contests. Then they got married, turned professional, and started after @ little four-letter thing called FAME.
 They danced in New York, and in Chicago, and in San Francisco. They danced in Kansas City, and in Detroit, and in Los Angeles. They began to see their names more frequently in the newspapers. People began saying: Have you seen Veloz and Yolanda? wonder where she gets those gorgeous gowns. And how they dance!" Be- fore they quite realized it that little four-letter word was trotting at their heels, saying uncle"
 Perhaps you read about the re- cital they gave in Carnegie Hall not long ago. People said it couldn't be done-successfully. Through b numbers which represent, roughly, an hour and Is minutes of con- tinuous dancing, they waltzed and floated and swirled and glided to irresistible music, much of it writ ten by Veloz himself. When the finale came people were amazed. Why, they had hardly gotten in their seats. It didn't seem possible that an evening had passed away.
 But wasn't it tough?" I asked Veloz, q mean, all that rehearsing and work that must have been necessary" That made Valoz laugh. No" he said. "As a matter of fact, we didn't have a chance to re- hearse. The hall was busy prac- tically every night. But we were fortunate in having Pancllo's orch estra to play for us. He knew all our numbers. He has played them for us frequently"
 Here is an item about these two that may prove interesting. When I invaded their suite at the Plaza I expected to enter an atmosphere of the dance world such as you would expect in the habitat of two such prominent figures. Instead, I encountered the casual, confusion of a much lived-in apartment. A ping-pong table was set up. There were pictures of race horses all over the walls, including all the big favorites and couple of young horses, Red and "Veolanda," a lilly, which they own.
 Veloz and Yolanda are hos" conscious. If a sack of feed or a saddle had been in evidence the place would have looked like a paddock. Yolanda, who is dark, wears mostly clothes that are se- verely dark, relieved by rhine stone clasp at the throat. With her deep olive complexion and flashing eyes the effect is striking. Veloz lounged comfortably in trim, dark business suit. He was in fine fettle.
 On a table lay copy of their new book, Tango and Rumba, the Dances of Today and Tomorrow, described by Veloz and Yolanda.' , It is a technical guide to terpsi- chorean accomplishment. It h a s been selling exceptionally well.
 Looking at them, you think, Here are Veloz and Yolanda, ab- solutely the last word in the dance world" And then Yolanda breaks in: Say, I wonder who'll win the sixth at Jamaica"
