This is a flrst-rate dance

as Ballet Theater ever was at
its best and better than it has
been at its occasional less

Lupe Serrano, Ruth Ann Koe-

least as demonstrated last night
in "Sylphides." is excellently
orchestrated.

work. This condensation is the
work Of Arnold Moss, who also
impersonates the author,
Editorially. Moss is q prodi-
gious Job. Dramatically. which
is what counts, it is consider
ably less. The fault, however
is not that of Mr.. Moss nor OF
his cast which is earnest, elo-
quent and energetic in its task.
Guilt, one suspects, lies with
Mr.. Shaw who in writing this
labyrinthine essay on the per-
reliability Of man simply bit
OF more than lesser humans
are capable of chewing.
This was the charge leveled
against the five-plays-in-one
when they were first offered a
generation ago. It is still well
grounded which may only go
to prove that Shaw was correct
In his argument that mankind
progresses at half a snail's pace
In its willingness to listen and
to learn.
Mr.. Power and his associate
disciples do their best for this
digest Of the masters MASTER
work. It is not a mere reading
of Back to Methuselah" that
they are involved with and
which has been, inexplicably, a
sensation at the box ONCE on
q southern. midwestern tour.
This is a play version. with
transformations. costumes and
at least q minimum of produce
ton.
The point of Back to Me-
thuselah" is that man was
more or less of a mistake, at
least with respect to his life
span Of q mere three score
years and 10. Given 800 years
Of life, Shaw argues. there is
q possibility that he might ma
ture enough to recognize the
difference between good and
evil. And. coincidentally. to de-
velop taste enough to make
the right choice between them.
AS ideas go, none could be
more admirably, even awesome-
~. Shavian than this.
What limits its communica-
bility. or its usefulness to the
insufferable rest of us, is the
mood in which Shaw treated
the idea. World War I was just
over when the play was written
and his mood at the time was
as foul as it is mellow, gay,
brilliantly reproving in his other

and Superman" with its scin-

of the spirit. which he so ar

The two hour and 20 minute
playing version which involves
Mr.. Power, Miss Emerson and
the others, covers the time span
of the original flve plays.
This is to say, 1t begins in
the Garden of Eden and ex-
tends to the year 3l,958 A. d.
by which time Shaw foresaw a
prospect Of mans return to
Paradise. Covering this interval
in the time allotted to them
keeps Director Margaret Web
ster and her players intensely
preoccupied with Shaw's i'm
patient reflections on humanity.
Their general approach to
the material, which demands of
them a variety Of roles in the
six episodes Of the production,
Us one Of light-heartedness.
This yields a larger dividend Of
merriment in the first act in
which Mr.. Power and Miss EN-
erson as Adam and Eve are dis
covering the delight Of repro
duction, the terror of acciden-
tai death, the pangs Of parent
hood and in making the deci-
sion that 1000 years is all they
really care to live.
The nimble humor with
which Shaw deals with this
childhood and playtime phase
is less evident in the final act.
In the future which man is
supposedly happy in his inabil-
ity to read. Shaw processes to
read and not very happily.
At 2108 A. D., when the long
livers and short-livers are in
head-on conflict, and 5000
A. D., by which time the for
mer have gained the upper
hand. things have settled down
to dizziness. And, by the time
thought has reached out to
1888 A. D., not even Shaw can
make the spectator care.
Mr.. Moss drastic remodeling
of Back to Methuselah" has
provided a wide variety Of in
viting work for the small COM
pany. In Mr.. Powers case, he
moves from an innocent, in
dolent Adam through a sophis-
ticated Archbishop to a wise
Ancient. all of them engaging
ly.
Miss Emerson is attractive as
a curious Eve, and occasionally
a shrewish one; and Miss Va
lerie Belts is an enticing SER
pent as well as q nymph; Ar
thur Preacher doubles compe-
tently as the politician and an
elderly man who gives up his
aspiration for a fabulous old
age.
Mr.. Moss, himself, is quite q
Shavian figure covering the
gaps in time necessitated by the
gaps his pencil wrought in the
original play.

Home Accidents

PROM time to time attention has been
called to the danger that turks III the
average American home pointing out that
the statistics show that about half of the
accidental deaths in the nation arc due to
mlshaps within the home
Surveys from large ctiessllow that more
than half of such deaths are caused hv falls.
Analysis reveals that nearly half of the
tails occurred on the same level, more than
one-thlrd on stairs, and about onc-sixth
from one level to lower level.
Inc safety experts suggest that the num-
Der Of accidents caused BY tripping over OBJ
lects and rugs on floors is of such Size to
suggest caution in every home Moreover.
The need for well-ightcd stairways is i'm
portant. and everybody should exercise care
and patience in using stairs
It will take only few minutes to look
over your home and eliminate some Of the
accident hazards. Parents who do this may
save their children suffering and them
selves medical expenses. In addition, they
may save their own necks.
