lap last winter, SnaWn says.
It's just one more first in the
amazing, crowded career Of
! o man who has danced around
the world Is times, who once
won a contest as the United
States theater's handsomest
man, who has explored every
dance form from Aztec to
cowboy-and who set out in
life to be a Methodist min
lister.
Shawn switched after a
post-diphtheria infection par
alyzed his lower body. He was
then a student at the Univer-
sity Of Denver. Dancing was
prescribed as therapy and the
treatment became a career.
He Felt Right
II looked up dancing in the
Bible" Shawn recalls. There
are II mentions, all favorable"
He also conferred with a cleric
who told him: "If you can
kneel and pray, then get up
and dance, go ahead"
II felt right about it, and
SO there must have been q
reason" Shawn says.
A collateral chore of his ca
reer has been to battle notions
that dancing was sissy. He did
more studying.
"I found. dancing was an
honored profession for men in
all great civilizations" the
man who has since devised
more than 500 dances asserts.
"The pendulum Of public
opinion has swung" Shawn
adds. Our great dances Of the
future will be a balance be-
tween male and female dan
GERS"
No Narrow Notions
Probably dancing's most
prolific lecturer and writer,
Shawn has no narrow notions
about dancing, rues the cult Of
the esoteric modern form and
believes that fad is fading
away.
"Art Is the communication
of ecstasy" he says. when
the audience feels that. I am
satisfied that 1t is art. If the
audience feels the back Of its
chair-that's bad"

The Missing Link
The sporadic evidence pro-
vided by these is enough to
prove that the domestic movie,
industry is not committed to
the notion that its patrons
have a taste for only sex and
sadism. On the other hand, it.
is not enough to keep a COM
mittee of United States Sena-
tors from asking some pointed
questions about the industry's
seeming fixation on these sub
jectS.
There is not the slightest
question that the studios are
today under the heaviest fire
in years as q result Of their
excessive concern for what
generally is called realism. Nor
is there any reason to be-
lieve they could have escaped
the rampant criticism by in
serting in their production
programs an occasional liltin!
comment on human relations
or the human situations tina
remain laughable even in an
era Of cold war, nuclear weap-
ons and juvenile delinquency.
A better balanced program,
including more gay comedies,
might have put Hollywood in a
better defensive position, how
ever.
There is no pat explana- :
ton for the absence Of this
type Of film. It cannot be
that they are not popular.
Foreign comedies keep hitting
jackpots in the form Of new
long-run records and box Of
flee takes"
Television Guilty?
One suggestion for Holly
woods aloofnes to the type is
that 1t has been more or less
. absorbed, and possibly even
beaten to insensibility, by tele-
vision. Certainly, the newer
medium is beyond the satura-
tion point with domestic COM
edy, situation comedy and
even that based upon how lit
tie human beings know when.
Groucho Marx asks them
$500 questions.
This iS an EXPLANATION. hit
not a logical one. Television
has been no less voracious in
its hunger for melodrama,
horse opera, crime, science, fic-
ton and the other forms.
Hollywood has not abandoned
these.
It could be that with 1.-THE
Seven Year Itch" and the up
coming "The Tender Trap"
neither Of them innocent, but
each aspiring to take q merry
view of human nature, that
Hollywood's memory of its gay
past will be awakened.
A welcome change of pace
and mood this would be.

Doctors Hail Tests
OF New Antibiotic

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Mar.
5.-A new antibiotic claimed to
have remarkable results in the
control of streptococcus infec-
tons and resultant rheumatic
fever was reported on here yes
terday by three Medical College
Of Virginia physicians.
The drug known as benZathine
penicillin. or "Bicillin," was given
to a group of 46 children. the
doctors said. and there were no
true cases of rheumatic recur-
renee.
The physicians-Dr. Carolyn
M. McCue, DR.. County D. Gibson,
jr., and DR.. Lillian D. Lindemann
told a meeting of the Virginia
Pediatric Society the results of
the test appeared significant
when compared to a recurrence
rate of 81 per cent among q
group of untreated children OBJ
served six years ago at the Rich
mond clinic.
Primary advantages of the
antibiotic as put forth by the
three physicians are: /. It eff
fectively controls the beta strep-
tococcus and no resistant strains
of the bacteria have emerged. 9
The cost of the drug is less than
sulfonamides or oral penicillin
8. There is a low rate of reaction
among patients.

Auto Inspection Bill
In Maryland Wins
Delegates Approval
Star Stan Photo.

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 5.-Com-
pulsory inspection Of autos
and trucks once a year gained
approval of half of the Mary
land Legislature yesterday.
The House of Delegates over
whelmingly passed 1919 a bill
restoring the garage inspections
which the State abandoned
nearly 20 years ago.
Those pushing the inspection
by garages this time are putting
faith in close State police super
vision to avoid complaints which
led to abandonment of the sys-
tenn after 10 years.
Opinions that it is unnecessary
and inefficient were voiced.
But q subcommittee which rec
commended the inspection by pri-
vate garages instead of the State
as proposed originally this ses-
sion came back with statistics
supporting it's practicability as a
safety promoter.
Statistics Stressed.
zone of the most compelling
motives for the bill is statistics
from othter States which have
inspections" reported Delegate
Lee, Democrat, of Montgomery.
They leave no room for doubt.
There was a sharp, abrupt
decline in deaths after the in
Spections were started"
The system calls for licensing
Of private garages by the State
police. The garages would buy
stickers at 20 cents apiece and
would be permitted to charge the
customer $3.50 for making the
inspection.
The inspections would be made
during the months of November,
December and January starting
next year.
The Ways and Means Com
mittee was influenced in recon-
mending garage instead of direct
State inspections because of cost
and convenience to motorists. It
would cost millions for the State
to build the inspection stations
which therefore would be limited
in number.
Roads Probe Bill Emerges,
The only progress made by
controversial bills in the Senate
was the second emergence from
the Finance Committee of a
measure to set up a $4,000
probe of the State Roads Com
mission.
But when it reached the Sem
ate floor for a showdown, it
like four others likely to stir up
debate-Was put off until next
week.
Senator Redden, Democrat, of
Caroline requested the postpone
ment "in view of the late hour"
and the desire of the Senators
to avoid a lengthy fight on the
last working day of the week.
Other postponed bills would
put annual real estate assess
ments in effect this year instead
of next and would create an in
dependent Maryland turnpike
authority. The authority's first
project would be the Northeast
Expressway, paralleling U. S. 40
from Baltimore to the Pennsyl-
vania line and linking the State
highway system with the New
Jersey and Pennsylvania turn
pixies.
