Far removed from the night club
and fandango type of dancing was
the performance of Carmalita
Maracci and her company at the
Temple theater Wednesday night.
Refreshingiy refined. graceful, ira
ditionally correct and entertaining,
II was more of n concert than
dance revue and a nice interlude in
a music season notable for the
number and character OF the
artists.
And speaking of musicians, Miss
Msracci can properly be placed
in that classification. for no one
but a musician could produce the
effects she did with the castanets.
Along with the disciplined skill
that marks the difference between
an artistic performance and just
another dance review there was
an occasional touch of comedy
throughout the program. even in
Miss Maracci's Lament for the
Death of Bullfighter." 1t might
be only slight change of express
sion or the almost imperceptible
lifting of shoulder, but put in at
the right time it was the type of
comedy that produces a healthy
giggle, and that's good comedy.

portrayal of an entertainer on San

ethics.

postwar aims, according to DR..
Walter w. Van Kirk, of the Fed
sral Council of the Churches OF
Christ in America, recently re-
turned from visit TO England.
The churches are united. he says,

terms must not reflect any spirit
of ruthlessness or hatred third.
that there must be a new and bet
ter future for all present colonies.
Also, according to DR.. Van Kirk,
the churches are agreed that the

evangelism, the strengthening of
the bonds of Christian fellowship,
and the ministry of reconciliation.
They are agreed that the shape OF
things to come must be influenced
by the Christian conception Of the
dignity of man as child OF God.
They are agreed that political and
