Brilliant
BalletOn
Social Era
By WILLIAM NEWMAN

Paris gave Kurt Jooss a medal
for his ballet, "The Green
Table" which satirized Euro
pean diplomacy. He has writ
ten a sequel entitled, THE Mir
ror," which depicts the present
social unrest of the world and
is as applicable to America as
to the Germany Mr.. Jooss and
his talented dancers left upon
the advent of Mr.. Hitler, or
shortly thereafter.
He brought his new political
sociological dance to the Ma
tional Theater yesterday after
noon. An interested audience
found it provocative of debate.
It showed the disorder Of the
postwar years, depicted with a
feeling of suspense that came
near being great drama. 1t
showed three comrades returned
from the war, a capitalist, an
ordinary businessman and a
worker, parting to resume their
places in society as it was.
THEIR PATHS CROSS
The laborer lost his job and
turned to the capitalist, silk
hated and frocked, who had
time only for his own amuse-
ment; to the businessman who
shrugged helpless shoulders and
left him in want. 1t showed
the imperialist trying to lead the
way out of disorder, and the
priest holding aloft the symbol
of spiritual consolation. 1t
showed the idealist fomenting
revolution, overturning the gam
ing tables of the rich; the Ia
borer'S wife driven to the
streets. 1t showed, too, a solu-
ton, the one Clemenceau said
had never been tried, namely,
Christianity.
The dance, aided by some real
istic music especially composed
by Fritz Cohen, set forth this
Sordid document with extraordi-
nary power. Jooss' artists are
much more than expert dancers.
They are actors of resource. Ex-
cept that the story was told
mutely and in movement that
grew quite naturally, or so it
seemed, from Cohen's fine score.
the performance had all the
force of drama. One forgot that
it was a dance and thought of
it as rather bitter satire; which
is another reason for calling the
Jooss Ballet the best group Of
its kind now before the public of
two continents.
CONVENTIONAL GROUP, TOO
There was ample opportunity
to admire this unusual group in
more conventional assignments.
They began their program with
a gay and amusing version of
the Grimm fairy tale concern
ing seven craven heroes, in which
there was a great deal of clever
dancing disguised as narrative.
There was charming definition
Of the conventional ballet to the
waltZeS Of old Vienna.

injunction against competition; that
holding a Federal power commission
