Second Concert
of Season for
Graham Group
BY PATRICIA SIMMONS

The dance and Constitution Hall
are two things that never seem to
mix. We are happy to report, how
ever, that last night Martha Gra-
ham and her group were really
performing on home ground. At
least that's the way It seemed to
us. The vastness Of stage and limit
less void which just shout swallows
W the ballet lent to Miss Grahams
group exactly the right dimension
less effect.
The halls capacity audience, un-
doubtedly q part Of the overflow
from the dancers November con-
cert in the Library Of Congress,
also seemed aware Of this sense Of
staging and lighting, 20 much q
part Of Miss Graham's art. Truly,
the woman is wizard. With Q
single prop or two, mere box
like affair for a grandstand, . nag
bedecked pole and there's her circus.
No more trouble than the addition
Of little choregraphy and music:
the former surely was appreciated
by more than one gentleman In
the audience.
You see MISS GrahamS s circus IL
not the literal one Of canvas and
sawdust. It's one just as real, how
ever, and lives In the heart Of every
woman-the circus Of her Hfe, in
which she is her own most apprecia-
tive spectator. Here II satire at its
best Miss Graham b the woman,
Erick Hawkins the ringmaster and
| the show Ia on!
The subtle nuaIaces In the choreg-
raphy OF Every Soul Is q Circus"
are absolutely unrivaled. Miss Gra-
ham imagines herself first a the
apex of a triangle with Mr.. Haw-
kins and Merce Cunningham: later
as the beloved of . duet tagain Mr..
Hawkins). The most entertaining
single moment Of the dance Is q
satire on the classic ballet where
the dancer diligently ties q piece
Of rope around her foot and forces
it painstakingly into the air.
Deaths and Entrances" second
work on the program, fell short In
no one place. 1t was simply too
much of a good thing. The program
notes shed little light on the dance
and vice versa. Its main fault, how

Surplus Planes

The fact that the government now has
almost a billion dollars worth of airplanes
which have been declared 'surplus," and
which are to be sold to civilians might ap-
pear to indicate great waste in war pro-
duction. But actually this large surplus of
planes indicates the insistence of govern
n1ent and industry on supplying our avia-
tors with the finest types of planes availa-
BILE.
Throughout the war there have been
constant improvements in airplane manu-
facture. When inventions were worked
out which might result in saving lives or
inflicting greater punishment on our enc
mics, new planes have been substituted, ?
rapidly as possible, for the models which
lacked those improvements.
Our tremendous airpower at the pres
ent time can be partly credited to the
willingness of our war production leaders
to admit when they had something better
and to revise production, as speedily as
possible, to produce the planes of the We
latest design.
