have danced and received verbal in
struction from intelligent teachers, the
juveniles are good critics. The best
working-over I've heard handed to any
dance company here this year was
dished out by pair of tikes about 10
or IL years old. They knew precisely
what they were talking about too,
which put them several jumps ahead
OF your correspondent.
GONE of this talk about the silence
- and the sanctity of theater or
ballet will cause scholars to rise UP
and cry that in the old days people
danced in the streets and performed
plays while the bowling mobs in the
pit drank ale and ate hot dogs, or
whatever was the Elizabethan eouiva-
lent of same. When then should We
sit solemnly in the dark and brood
over every spoken word in the drama,
every semi-Nijinsky leap in the dance?
The obvious and flippant answer is
that we are no longer crudely Nordic.
but have become civilized almost to
the Grecian level, at least in regards
our entertainment. It might also be
mentioned that the dramatic customs
we practice lend certain integrity to
performance, for those who have
asked for silence are obligated to fill
1t with worthy contributions of their
own.
Apropos of integrity, In the booklet
about Doris Humphrey and Charles
Weidman which was used as press
propaganda prior to their recent ap-
pearance here, there is statement
attributed to Miss Humphrey, and
worth repeating here:
THE one indispensable quality in a
work of art is consistent point of
view related to the times, and when
this Is lost and there is substituted
Tor it an aptitude for putting together
bits Of this and that drawn from ex-
traneous material and dead methods,
there can be no integrity"
STILL no definite date fixed for the
recital by Ruth st. Denis here.
But events of this week are the Jooss
Ballet at the National Theater, Fri
day afternoon at 4:30: Eleanor Struppa
ana her Randolph Macon group at
Wardman Park. Saturday at $50 pm.

the necessity of avoiding interrupt
tlons to their artists and audiences.
Many players of good standing in the
theater will not permit seating before
the end of scene. The better SYM
phony orchestras punish tardiness in
the same way, and rightly So Yet
when dancers perform, at least here
in Washington. one often is subjected
to numerous distractions. They may
be attributed to neglect and lack
OF foresight entirely amateurish, quite
unlike the skilled, finished artists we
are privileged to see.
And dancing, as have said, is more
seriously thwarted by these things than
the other arts. The dance concerts
here need stricter management, a
more thoughtful planning to main
tain the illusion that is the theater.
NO matter how frequently dancers
themselves disavow any connection
with show business" they still are
performing for audiences.
To cite molehill that grew into a
mountain. Almost all the 1ore seri-
GUS dances either in ballet or the
modern form, end in silence and a
gesture-of repose, defiance. resigna-
ton, something or other. This is be-
cause the logical climax to a dance is
q physical movement, not a musical
crescendo. In that moment of climax
one expects to absorb the ultimate sig
nif1cance of the number, to draw forth
Its meaning in highest distillation.
What then, If at this tense juncture.
one suddenly hears very distinctly the
sound OF a curtain buNer. meant to
warn the stage hands that the number
is ending? What then? I can tell YOU
what. After that alien noise has broken
the spell Of concentration and reverie
once or twice. you will find yourself
watching a dance work up toward its
conclusion and, instead of following it.
relaxing the will to its mastery. YOU
will be subconsciously steeling yourself
against the inevitable rasp of an elec-
tr1cal gadget. The apex of every dance
will be the same. a b-z-z-z-z-z-z.
Trivial? Yes, and devastating.
IT is natural for parents to want
their children educated In the
dance, but sensible for that education
to be obtained actively as a partici-
pant in the early years. A 5-year-old
child will not comprehend Martha
Graham (nor will some persons who
are 75), or learn very much about dane
ing from watching her company. Yet
few people persist in taking ex-
tremely young children to witness
dancing that is anything from highly
intellectual to downright lascivious in
context. Not being especially amused,
these children are apt to talk aloud or
squirm around in their chairs, making
choice nuisances of themselves.
After few years in dancing school.
the same children definitely belong in
an audience. They are not fooled by
trick sophistications as easily as their
more educated parents, who are will
ing to find meaning in practically
anything. Furthermore, after they

ferring not to assume the risk of hav-
ing such valuable dog subjected to
the dangers of studio employment.
A MOTHER casualty has occurred In
the ranks of radio commentators
The other day movie columnist on a
local station broadcast the story that,
following the death of Robert McWade
on the set of 'Of Human Hearts" the
studio continued to photograph the
scene rather than get another actor.
Outraged at the untruth of the state
ment. the Hays Office Immediately took
action and revoked the broadcaster's
credentials and he was dropped by the
radio.
Dick Powell, who has been at logger
heads with Warmers because of the
quality of his screen roles and radio
material, is on the verge of new re-
bellion. He advised his manager the
other day that unless better dialogue
was given to him he would refuse to
continue on the air. Powell has been
subjected to several annoyances of
late. His pictures have been unin-
spired and he feels his career will be
permanently affected unless his radio
work offsets bad films. The day has
passed when the mere appearance Of q
movie star on q program is sufficient
to intrigue the listeners. They must
have material of equal value to that
of their competitors, but the tendency
Is to give them q few words and de-
pend upon their fans for interest,"
