BoIshoi Ballet Arrives
Hoping for Conquest

The Bolshoi Ballet arrived
this afternoon determined to
continue in Washington its
complete captivation of Amer
leans.
Excited by wild receptions it
has provoked in New York, the
troupe was described as anxious
to achieve one of its greatest
performances for an elite inter-
national audience here.
Public anticipation of to-
nights program at the Capitol
Theater rose to proportions
exasperating to theater officials.
Senators, diplomats and the
mighty of Washington official
dom called throughout the day
in the vain hope that one Of the
theater's 1926 seats might still
be unreserved.
Calls from New York ana Bal
timore pleaded for standing
room, which incidentally is I'M
available.
Repeatedly only Soviet Am
bassador Menshikov, who was
awarded 100 tickets, succeeded
in buying more than two.
A 30-man crew rushed to in
stall scenery especially altered
in the Soviet Union for smaller
American stages.
The props came from New
York, where the ballet danced
last night at Madison Square
Garden before a roaring crowd
of 10000.
The American stage manager
of the troupe, Gene Perlowin,
reported no difficulties were
encountered in arranging the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-05-14

elaborate scenery for the per-
Torrance which will consist of
highlights of famous ballets.
He lamented though that
Washington does not possess
an opera house the country
could be proud to show the
Russians.
Mr.. Perlowin, who has worked
closely with the great dancers
since their arrival in New York
a month ago, described them as
awed by the United States, the
warmth of its audiences and
people. He said the Russians
were most astounded when
strangers stopped them on the
street merely to shake hands.
The dancers, he said, also
have been delighted by the
Broadway theater and all types
of consumer goods, ranging
from clothes to curtain rods.
Jack Foxe of the Capitol
Theater staff said most frus-
trated ticket seekers have re-
sponded with understanding
when advised that the perform
ance has been sold out for two
weeks. Some have reacted diff
ferently to the visit of the
ballet, however.
One young woman asked Mr..
Foxe this morning, Whats
showing tonight"
"We have no show, but we
have the famous Bolshoi Bal
let" he replied.
"Oh, nuts" said the lady,
walking away.
The picture the Bolshoi will
cause her to miss tonight:
Some Like 1t Hot" starring
Marilyn Monroe.

Somerset
Again Fights
Change

Another battle of Somerset"
against proposed commercial
coming there went into the first
round before the Montgomery
County Council last night.
The County Office Building
auditorium in Rockville was
filed to capacity for a public
hearing on a request to rezone
"a 1.79-acre tract at Wisconsin
and Dorset avenues for pro-
posed 81 million motel.
The council, after limiting
testimony to an hour for each
side, took the request under
study and agreed to leave files
open for is days to receive
additional information.
Wilbur N. Baughman, former
council president, was attorney
for the Dorset Corp, which
filed the request. Opposition
forces were represented by R.
Robert Linowes.
The property on the south
west corner of the intersection
adjoins land which the Hecht
Co. tried to get rezoned two
years ago for a suburban store.
Opponents based their fight
last night mainly on opposi-
ton to any commercial de-
velopment at the corner.
They cited an opinion of the
Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commits
sion that any expansion Of
commercial facilities should be
in the gradual extension OF
the Chevy Chase shopping
center.
Mr.. Baughman said the
motel would be screened to
protect homes. He also offered
an agreement under which the
property would revert to its
present status if the corpora
ton did not carry out its plans.
He argued that Wisconsin
avenue from the District
line to Bradley boulevard is
basically a commercial area
and contended that ''if they
insist on keeping it residential,
it constitutes a confiscation of
private property"

BITE BY ALBERT, THE ALLIGATOR,
BANISHES HIM TO LIFE IN CAGE

An alligator who prefers fingers to hamburgers bit
a 27-year-old Maryland housewife last night.

EVERYONE OVER 40 re-
members the water whistle.
1t was a small tube contain
ing a little water and a pellet.
The pellet had a way of vary
ing the note as 1t bobbed
about the aperture.
He went back to sleep. No
good. Another dig in the ribs.
THAT little boy is hopping
around from tree top to tree
top" she said.
This was the bird that was
sounding its descending trill
as he walked home the other
night.
There was no moon. The
sky was clear and the stars
seemed to be within arms
reach. IT. was the sort of
night In which you would
expect to hear the whip
poorwill if he were in the
neighborhood.
But no. There was a stir
ring in the trees. And peri
odically the little boy with
the water whistle would
sound his notes. And a mo-
ment after he finiShed-the
perfect moment-a bullfrog
in the run would go boom"
1t was like the six Brown
brothers, SaxophonistS who
were popular on records in
the teen-age of this century.
When the brother with the
bass saxophone came in, it
was as good as or better than
the bull fiddle or the big
e-unl.
Now the remarkable thing
was this. AS he walked along
he heard other birds of the
same species giving the same
call. And he heard other bull
frogs in the stream, and the
frogs always waited for the
perfect moment and then
went boom"

HOWEVER, MATHEMAT-

HOWEVER, MATHEMAT-
les is less important in this
question than faith. provi-
dence and some self-justifi-
cation. The Rambler has not
been sprinkling and the rain
finally came.
The change in the weather
the precipitation, that is
brought about at least one
surprise. In the predawn
clatter Of the birds and the
trees and bushes below this
new house on the hill, for the
first time we heard whip
poorwills whipping away.
Bob White has been with
US at dawn. He stays around
all day. On Sunday he was
just outside the garden door,
which was open, and he
startled everyone by giving
that loud whirring sound
akin to the drumming of his
cousin, the grouse.
The whipping of the whip
poorwill was a surprise. Only
the night before, the Ram
bier had walked home
through Taylor Run Valley
listening to the night noises.
The whippoorwill was not
one.
There was that bird-he
wishes he could identify it.
the bird that trills on a de-
scending scale. His notes are
almost do-ti-la on the way
down.
The Rambler first heard
this bird a year ago under
trying circumstances. MRS. r.
gave him a dig in the ribs
with her elbow during the
choral peepings that greet
the dawning of the day here
abouts.
AS in ancient Sybaris, whose
citizens, the Sybarites, ca
reused nightly, there is an
ordinance in Alexandria
against keeping fowl, espe-
cially ROSTERS.
Nature makes up for that.
Tiny birds wake before dawn
and chatter and sing, espe-
cially in spring, until it is
light, then subside-probably
for breakfast. The thing to
do is go along with them
that is go back to sleep unless
you want breakfast before 6
am. Try and get it.
What's that bird?" she
said.
Darling" he replied,
"that's not a bird. That's one
of the neighbours boys with a
water whistle"

Bethesda Still
Plays Key Role
Despite Losses

Despite losses to Wheaton and
High Point, B.CC can not be
considered out of the picture
in the Bi-County league.
The Barons, who have ruled
the league roost for the past
three years, appear to have the
nucleus of a top-notch club, but
can't seem to find the necessary
glue to paste it together.
The Baron line Is big, strong
and aggressive, although it
lacks the speed of former years.
The backfield, however, has de-
cided weaknesses, mainly in
lack of speed and experience.
B-CC picked up 277 yards
against High Point last week,
but fumbled It's way into trou-
BILE time and time again. High
Points lone score was a result

Of q pair Of fumbles which
forced the Barons to kick from
deep in the end zone after a
series which started on the
Bethesda 19.yard line.
Bob Guthrie's boot was put
in play from the SO and High
Point generated its only sus-
tanned drive of the day to win
the ball game.
Twice B-CC backs were off to
the races, but on both occasions
they were pulled down from
behind by defensive halfback
who the High point coach rates
as one of his slowest backs.
But experience is the best
teacher, and even if B-CC is not
a contender itself, the Barons
may play a big role in who picks
up the marbles when the season
rolls around to November.
