NEW YORK. Feb. 22.-The
man who helped clear Nal
Whitfield of charges that he was

foreign promoters today, charg-
ing that they were interested

stars.
Jeramiah r. Mahoney, former

Whatever trouble we have is
mostly the fault of the
Europeans" Mahoney, a promi-
nent jurist said. "All they want
is our top stars and they aren't
interested in what happans to
them.
They have eyes only for the
gate. We always have tried to
help, but from now on our rules
will prohibit that sort of goings-
on"
The new set of regulations,

Kyra is absorbed heart and soul

She seems to find it difficult to

arrested in flight when she does
sit down. Even then her eyes
are dancing, her hands illustrate

Of the whole urge of this young.
great country to express emotion
through movement-and that is
good.
There has been too much
snobbery about the dance. The
classic ballet has been too for
malized, too revered by its ex-
ponents. I believe in a freer.
more pliable technique. OF
course, one must know the bal
let first, but one need not be
bound by its forms.

Miss Nijinsky had her own

eight years before coming to
