Danilova Exciting
AS Ballet Russo
Joins Symphony
By Harry Macarthur

Alexandra Danilova continues to
provide the greatest excitement OF
the ballet stage. Her appearance
last night at Constitution Hall with
the Ballet Russo de Monte Carlo
vas in a familiar role she has
danced for some time now, that OF
the glove seller in Massine's color
full and saucy "Gaite Parisienne,
and it was a complete satisfaction.
The only thing to do is to repeat
that Danilova's technique is perfec-
ton embellished with the spirit that
is the difference between a dancer
and the prima ballerina.
"Gaite" is no longer the startling
item it was a decade or so ago when
the corps de ballet shocked staid
balletomanes by breaking out with
it's wild and wonderful can-can, but
it remains easily one of MaSsine' S
most entertaining works. 1t was
performed last night with the gusto
1t deserves, especially by Frederic
Franklin, whose pas de deux with
Danilova was fine, and Leon Daniel
ian, whose Peruvian in pursuit Of
Partisan pleasure is as close to Mas
sine's original as any one Is likely
to come.

and that when these cease to be
profitable, it goes on to new love.
If the Middle West, which is being
played for its naivete, would like
to know what the end Of these ro-
mances always is, it might consult
Brooklyn. 1t was just couple OF
years ago that the belle of the CO.
wanus canal was being given rush
so head-spinning that it began to
fancy itself as the hottest item since
George Sand. 1t told itself that this
was the real thing, that here was
the great romance of human his
tory, and that for once Hollywood S
intentions had to be honorable.
At the moment Of its highest
certitude, the Middle West took over
and Brooklyn was just a discarded
thing left lying at the east end Of
a bridge.
Before that New England, the
South, Canada, and the lumber
country in the northwest had their
turns. But one by one they dis
covered that while Hollywood's line
is persuasive, it does not last.
If the Middle West does not be-
lieve this, let it wait until 1t wakes
up some day and discovers that it
has been succeeded by Mexico. That
Irritation is already we'll beyond the
gossip stage.
The latest honor conferred upon
Producer Samuel GoldWyn not only
intimates that he collects more
honors than anyone else in the
movies, but that he has found. the
answer to the industry's tax pro-
blem in foreign lands. The prize
e in question is the Union of South
Africa's remission of the import
tax on THE Best Years of Our
Lives"
The Unions decision was based
upon its appraisal of the screen
play as too educational to justify
the imposition of any levy against
it.
The amount involved was only
$4,000, which Goldwyn never would
have missed, but it is the principle
of the thing that counts.
If only other governments could
be made to feel the same way about
other pictures. Hollywood's most
acute problem of the moment would
be solved.
Movies good enough to earn that
kind of distinction abroad would be
so popular at home that every one
could forget about foreign markets.
The best quote in the days mail
from Hollywood was not from the
Eric Johnston Office, or from any
body elses Office. 1t came instead
from an unnamed chorus girl whose
comment on this winters weather
in New York ought to put Holly
wood in its place for all time. Said
the c. g.:
New York Is much better city
to live in than Hollywood. When it

Penna. Railroad
Expansion Program

AS part Of S157 100000 post
war program Of expenditures for
new equipment building and i'm
prOvement, President M. w. Glenn
ent, of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
today announced the placing of or
ders for ia additional Diesel-elec-
trio locomotives and 1900 freight
cars. These bring the railroads to-
tai postwar orders for new equip
ment to 374 Diesel locomotives, A.
400 freight cars and 1896 passenger
cars.
This is the first time the aggre-
gate of the Pennsylvania new
equipment program has been made
known. The wholly new equipment
will cost $149,OOO,OOO and the mod
ernizing of other passenger cars,
over $S,0OO,OOO.
"Out Of a total of 257 sleeping,
dining and feature cars ordered
early in 1885," said, Mr.. Clement,
"only two cars have yet been re-
ceived, due to difficulties encoun-
tered by the car builders. While de-
l1veries Of new passenger cars, and
especially of sleeping cars ordered
more than two years ago, are dis
appointing, and are continually be-
ing further deferred due to causes
beyOund our control, we are MAX
ing every possible effort to get this
new equipment completed and into
service as soon as possible. We are
now confident that deliveries on
these orders will be under way in
volume before the end of the pres
ont year."
Mr.. Clement added that deliveries
have been received on 124 new
postwar coaches and coach train
cars.
"Ours is a comprehensive equip
ment program, one of the largest
undertaken by any railroad, and we
would like our passengers and
shippers to know that it is progress
sing. We appreciate their patience,
and we wish that we could have
carried out our original intention
of announcing new equipment,
Milford chronicle., 1948-04-23

AS new sleeping, dining, lounge
and observation cars now under
construction are received from the
builders, Mr.. Clement explained,
they will be used to provide entire
ly new trains for the Broadway
Limited" "The General" the Lib
erty Limited" the Spirit of St.
Louis" 'The Pittsburgher," "The
Golden Triangle" the Cincinnati
Limited" and "The Sunshine Spec
ial."
"The Senator" afternoon train
between Washington and Boston,
and "The Congressional between
New York and Washington, will be
turned out as new trains, with
completely mOdernized equipment.
A completely mOdernized train
will also be provided for joint SER
vice between Chicago and Detroit,
matching a similar train to be sup
piled by the Wabash Railroad.
Milford chronicle., 1948-04-23

from time to time, as il was put in
to service, instead of now having to
announce so much of what is com
ing only as orders on which deliv-
cries are yet to be made.
"We are well underway on one of
the largest Diesel locomotive in
stallatiOns in the country. BY May
of this year, we expect that all our
important east-west through pas
senger trains will be handled by
Diesel power in the non-electrified
territory west of Harrisburg, Pa.
Our Diesel switcher program is al
so extensive.
THE wholly new equipment, to-
gether with that being modernized.
will enable us to release from our
most important trains existing
lightweight equipment that is
still distinctly modern, for use on
other trains to replace older
equipment. In this manner, the at
tractiVeness, comfort and conven-
ience of our passenger equipment
will be widely improved over the
entire System.
"The new sleeping cars now be-
ing built will be exclusively of the
all-rOOm type, and sleepers of this
description will progressively re-
place the remaining Open-section
cars throughout the railroad"
OF the new orders announced to-
day, the Electro Motive Division,
General Motors Corporation, will
build eight road freight Diesels and
Fairbanks Morse six. OF Diesel
switchers, the Baldwin Locomotive
Works will build 54, American Lo-
comotive Company 20, General Mo-
tors IA, and Fairbanks Morse 12.
The total cost of these locomotives,
road and switching, will be $16,-
0OO,OOO.
The 1900 freight cars announ-
ced today will be built at the rail-
roads Altoona Works at a cost Of
$11, 100000. OF these, 300 will be
covered hopper cars, and 1000 will
he gOndOlas of 20 tons capacity. All
the freight cars are scheduled to be
delivered this year and in early
1949. In addition to this newly or
dered equipment, 1000 new steel
freight cars have been received
