Miss Tallchief added that inc

connected with the ballet. She tried
that herself. but failed. Her mar

famous ballet director, was an

and Miss Talichief allowed that
the movies, particularly Red
Shoes" had lot to do with II.
Another important factor is the
American housewife.
Il have talked TO many men who
told me thai they. wouldn't have
thought of going to the ballet vol
unfairly" she said. ''Blt their
wives dragged them 10 il, and The
men stayed TO enjoy H."
& rhe balerina punctared some be-
Aiiefs about the ballet, particularly
concerning temperament.
The oldtime ballsrina who
would blow up at the slightest mis-
hap is thing of the past" she
remarked. Dancers don't make
big scenes Dackstase any more;
the companies just want put ,lp
with it.
'Of course, l don't mean TO say
ihat there is no temperament in the
ballet. Naturally. when You get so
many sensitive people together,
tire is bound 10 be some temper.
But they are generally minor flars
ups over such things as the or
chestra tempo not being right"
She added that the name chang.
ing fad in the ballet has been gone
for several years. In the old days,
a dancer named John Smith would
generally alter his handle to some
thing like Igor Petrovitch, or some
such Russianism.
when I started in the ballet in
1912, no one suggested that |
change my name" she said.
However, there we're those who
thought my name was Talchieff,
which was the name of a Russian
general"
Miss Tallchief had nothing but
praise for American male dancers
and said that the supply of talent
was getting more plentiful. but
there have been handicaps." she
said. In France and England, ii
is considered an honor when boy
becomes ballet dancer. There
has been an unhealthy attitude
toward male ballet dancers in this
country"

Let's Have A Traffic
Safety Week End

Every possible precaution will
again be put into effect over this
years Memorial Day week end, to
prevent traffic accidents on the
States vast system of highways.
According to Paul E. Burke, ex-
ecutive director of the Maryland
Traffic Safety Commission, police,
both local and State, will be on the
highways in large numbers to assist
the motorists and help prevent acct
dents.
In addition, many Mayors and
County Commissioners throughout
the State have issued special procla-
nations in the interest of traffic
safety over the holiday week end.
Also, Governor Theodore r. Nc
Keldin has called upon all of the
citizens of the State to make indi-
vidual, special efforts this year so
that the Memorial Day week end
will be Giraffe Safety Week End"
In his plea for safety on the
States highway, the Governor had
this to say
Memorial Day, the annual occa-
sion for wreath-laying and public
eulogies to the Nations war dead,
again this year marks the start of a
holiday ueeIx end
'Let us, of course, not forget our
heroic war dead They should be
honored-they gave their lives that
we, and all that we hold dear, should
survive. But let us also respect the
living-the man who lives across the
street from you-the man who waits
on you in the store-the man who
perhaps works at the desk across
from you-life to them is just as
dear as life is to you.
"And the best possible way to re-
spect the living-and to assure that
they remain alive-is to practice
every rule of safety on the highway

end"
