Whatever else is to be said O
Britain's austerity program. WI
can fervently thank the need fol
dollars for one thing-the export
of the Sadler's Wells Ballet. The
groups arrival last night at Con-
stitution Hall for the first of three
performances here was as excit-
ing a theatrical event as has
electrified the local scene in many
a moon.
A capacity audience led by
President and Mrs. Truman came
near to lifting the rafters when
the dancing was concluded.
OF course, no austerity, or even
wartime hardships, could have
prepared the Sadler's Wells people
for the difficulties In establishing
communication between ballet and
audience in Constitution Hall. #
they never come back here until
there is theater to dance in, 1t
will be understandable.

A Sense of Unity.
The Sadler's Wells Ballet is a
repertory group, something Of a
dancing counterpart of the Old
Vic. There is a sense Of unity
of neatly fitting together, about
everything they do. There are
no stars, at least on the program
which instead lists a group of
principal artists" In Margot
Fonteyn. however. the troupe has
a prima ballerina of exquisite
grace and acting skill, whose
dancing technique is as near per-
feet as you could expect of any
one merely human.
Mora Shearer, who won a great
deal OF fame on the screen in
THE Red Shoes" is the glamour
girl OF the group with American
audiences, of course. Miss Shearer
is lovely girl and ballerina of
both charm and skill, as she al
ready has demonstrated.
The Sadler's Wells repertory
covers a considerable area,
Last nights program included a
tragic costume drama, The
Rake's Progress" ballet after
Hogarth, with choreography by
Ninette de Valois and music by
Gavin Gordon; a wonderfully
whimsical satire called Facade .
with choreography by Frederick
Ashton to music by William Wal
ton. and two classical items, the
pas de deux from Act III of
Sleeping Beauty" and Act II of
Swan Lake"
Miss Fonteyn Again.
Selecting a high point in the
evenings entertainment might be
difficult if it weren't for one factor
involved. You come right back
to Miss Fonteyn again. Her dane
ing of the Swan Queen in the
Swan Lake" excerpt was a thing
OF wondrous beauty and never
have these eyes seen the role
danced with the same fine combi-
nation of regal dignity and calm.
OF the two newer works,
Facade probably came off better
than "The Rake's Progress" again
because of that scenery problem.
Served Its Function.
Facade" is a brightly funny
jest which has its fun with the
sort OF entertainment found in
music halls. It presented last
night beautiful milkmaid in
Anne Heaton. a rare song and
dance team in Michael Boulton
and Donald Britton, joyful
joshing Of ballet by Gerd Larsen,
Christine Du Bouley, Paula Dun
ming and Gillian Lynne. and a
most admirable burlesque of a
dance team by Frederick Ashton
and June Brae.
The Sleeping Beauty" pas de
deux served to show of Miss
Shearer's charm and talent and,
with the help of Alexis Rassine,
it served its function well.
Today's matinee by the Sadler's
Wells group will repeat last
nights program. Tonight 1.-THE
Rake's Progress" and the Sleep
ing Beauty" pas de deux. will be
followed by Symphonic varia-
tions" and Act III of Swan
Lake" Tickets for both perform
ances are sold out, but if you hear
Of loose one anywhere, you grab

er was shot to death early Sun.
day morning.
w. G. Sowell, the landlord on
whose place tn edead man lived
with his family, had been a tenant
for the past Is years, is being
charged with the shooting.
According to reports, the land
lord told coroners that he went to
the James home about two O'Clock
Sunday morning to investigate re-
ports that James had come home
drunk and was causing dis
turbance among the other ten
ants. That he took along his gun
in case it was needed. and when
he accosted James he became sas.
sy and unruly whereupon he shot
him.
Some mystery was attached to
the shooting when a Jackson un-
dertaker revealed that the body
of the dead man was filled with
holes about the breast, which in
Dictated that he had been shot a
number of times with different
kinds of guns.
According to reports. the land
lord, appearing before Justice of
the Peace J. L. Barrow, in connec-
ton with the shooting, after waiv-
ing preliminary hearing, was
placed under $1,000 bond to await
the action of the Rankin County
grand jury.
