NEW YORK. - Norm q n
Cousins, editor OF the Saturday
Review, just returned from
Russia. His photos Of the trip
include an unusual circus act
six lions, riding six horses
The animal trainer revealed
how he accomplished this feat
He said that in the circus
world, including Russia, you
approach a, booking agent and
describe your idea. II he throws
you out, because it's too fan
tastic, then you've got an act.
The booking agent threw him
out.
The trainer then started de-
veloping the idea. beginning
with a stuffed lion atop a real
horse. The lion smell was real,
and the horse baked - but
eventually became adjusted to
lit. Then he tried 1t with a real
lion and a stuffed horse. He
worked in two cages. one con-
tanning real horses and stuffed
lions, the other containing real
lions and stuffed horses. Every
day he brought the cages closer
and closer to each other.
At last came the day when
he was ready to try 1t with one
of his real, adjusted horses and
one Of his real. adjusted lions.
The lion leaped onto the
horses back, and killed the
steed. Then I really knew I
had an act" said the trainer.
1t needed patience and horses.
1t took him two years. and he
had six lions riding six horses.
The booking agent signed him.

are also parts Of 1t you should
find exciting. It's a matter Of
personal preference. All Of 1t is
excellently performed.
A half-dozen dance groups
take part, representing as
many different native cultures.
These range from the purely
classical of frances Tania
Katrina and Oleg Sabine to the
vigorously modern of Alvin
Alley and company.
In between are Leon Destine
and his Haitian Dance COM
pany, the Dancers of Ceylon,
Antonio Medina and Eugenio
Goya and the Oranim Zabar
Israeli Group with the Hebrai-
ca Dancers.
Picking a highlight Of this
evening of imported and do
nestle dancing is foolhardy,
but the Alvin Alley company'S
blues Suite" is certainly a
contender. 1t employs song as
well as dance and it mounts
to an exciting pitch.
Gene Hobgood, Nancy Redi,
Nat Horne and Mr.. Alley are
the principal participants and
they capture the spirit of the
blues and project it with telling
impact. They leaven it with
some first rate comedy singing,
too, by a trio made up Of Bar
bara Aston, Merle Derby and
Minnie Marshall. It's a most
effective number, this Blues
Suite"
One thing a world dance
festival permits you to do is
to compare styles and you may
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-07-21

be surprised at the compar-
isonS that occur to you while
watching the Oranim zabar
Company and the Hebraica
Dancers. You'll see, for one
thing. a sudden reminder of
kinship between Israeli dancing
and old-f ashioned United
States square dancing.
You also will see and hear
a lot that reminds you just
a little IF you're young) Of the
Moiseyev troupe, or (if you
are older than young) Of the
song and dance at the old
Russian Troika. A haunting
gypsy melody is q haunting
gypsy melody, whatever its
native land.
Anyhow this terpsichorean
Journey Through Israel" is
something to enjoy, both for
Geulia ellis splendid singing
and for the lively dancing of
the others. Come to think of
it, if you want to call the
Israeli contribution the high
light of Carter Barron's first
World Dance Festival" you
won't get any argument around
here.
An older and probably more
familiar branch of the art OF
the dance is represented by
Antonio Medina and Eugene
Goya, whose flamenco dancing
is just about the best you'll
ever see. Flamenco dancing is
one of the truly fine arts and
these two are a pair Of true
experts in the field.
They ought to have a girl
around when all that pulsating
rhythm gets going, but you
can't have everything. They do
have with them a fellow named
Rogelio Roguera, a guitarist
better than almost any you
ever heard anywhere. He and
his strings and Medina and
Goya and their heels speak
most eloquently. You may have
to read the program to know,
for instance, that one of their
numbers expresses a conflict
between two brothers in love
with the same woman" but
without looking you'll know it
represents conflict.
Seniors Medina and Goya
dance up quite a storm at Gui-
tarist Roguera's musical urg-
ing.
The classical ballet natural
ly is part Of any world dance
festival and in this one its
best foot is put forward by
Tania Karina and Oleg Sab
line of Paris. They are excel
lent in a pair of pas de deux
and Mile. Katrina turns out to
be a ballerina whose grace is
in the command of flawlesS
control.
The Dancers of Ceylon add
a touch Of their culture to the
amphitheater's fete with a
South Ceylonese fire dance
and another number titled
ives Natuma." Novelty is their
special offering for Garter
Barron audiences, plus a most
amazing f1re-eater and more
drums than the Ballet Russo
ever brought to town.
The Ceylonese even employ
more drums-it seems so, al
any rate-than the Haitians
Haitian Dance Company led BY
Jean Leon DeStine. Mr.. DeS-
tines HaitianS, though out
drummed, are a spirited lot both
in their opener and in a mum.

AS was said back there Al
the beginning. this "WorlC
Dance Festival" is a fine sum
mer entertainment idea. You'll
like some of it better than tn,
rest of it, but all of it is ex

PAPER ON NATIONAL PARKS,
PUBLISHES FIRST ISSUE

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Our ma
tional parks, national monuments,
and national wildlife refugees are
to be championed by a monthly
newspaper, National Wildlands
News, the first issue of which is
reaching subscribers all across the
nation this week.
According to it's first editorial,
the paper intends to build an in
formed public to defend our ma
tional sanctuaries from pressures
seeking to commemorative or in any
way harmfully use them, and to
preserve them for the uses for
which they have been established.
The Washington office is under
the direction of the papers edi-
tor, Devereux Butcher, who keeps
an eye on Congress and the bu-
reaus of the Department of the
Interior. There is western office
in Tucson, Arizona, under the di-
rection of J. F. Carithers, charged
with submitting reports from the
field.
The papers editors are assisted
by group of staff reporters stra-
logically located around the coun-
try.
Mr.. Butcher says the national
parks and other areas never have
been in such great danger of de-
spoilment as they are in today. In
terests of many kinds, he says,
threaten their sanctuary status, and
some of these dangers arise from
ambitious, local communities which
regard the areas merely as means
for attracting more tourist dol
