1t works up to quite an emo

legend of the peasant girl who
fell in love with a duke in
peasant disguise, an ultimately
fatal error for both.
This production has Marcia
Barrett in the role in which
Alicia Markova always could
insure a sold out house, and
maybe still can. Miss Barrett,
a slim and lovely girl, and the
Giselle role may turn out to
be the same sort Of winning
combination for her dance
group. She is an uncommonly
good dancer who can weave
a spell and she is a match
for Mr.. Franklin's strong de-
in her pantomine.
"Giselle" also benefits con-
Siderably, as have others Of

q better way for a domestic

REPORTER
Columbus Won While FIunkinq

the Pinta and the Santa Ma
ria. The first two were little
caravels, so tons apiece,
each manned by 10 men and
a skipper. and each with
enough pizza, pasta and hot
peppers to keep everybody
alert for a year. The Santa
Maria was fully decked and
100 tons. The Pinzon BROTH
ers were captains of the
three vessels. Columbus was
the admiral.
They blasted out of Spain
at a zippy four knots and
eaded west. Altogether
there were 124 men on board
and, after the first week.
they became pretty sick of
each other-and the sea.
Within two weeks, the
lookouts began to yell Tier
RAJ" every time a hunk of
seaweed came up over the
horizon. Through calm and
storm, the Pinzon brothers
kept the little feet together
and whiled away the hours
calling each other names in
Spanish pig Latin.
About 2 am. on October
u, 1892, a lookout on the
Pinta named Rodrigo de
Triana shouted "Tierra!"
and somebody yelled back
"Aw, shuddup!" in Castilian.
Land truly had been dis
covered. They landed on
what probably was Waiting
Island in the Grand Ba-
hamas group. Chris planted
the flag of Ferdinand and Is
abella and named the place
San Salvador. The brown
skinned natives beat their
chests happily and made the
strangers welcome. Two days
later, Chris sailed around the
island and one of the Pinzon
brothers sailed the Santa
Maria right up on a coral
reef.
The ship was abandoned
and Columbus built a fort
named La Navidad and put
A men in it.
THEN HE SAILED for
home and spread the word
that he had found a short
cut to India and took a lot
Of bows. He returned to the
new world a year later and,
where he had left the A
Spaniards. he found only
ashes and some happy little
natives.
Between voyages, honors
were heaped on Columbus all
over Europe. Once, at a ban
quet, some Spanish courtiers
became jealous of Columbus
and said that any Spanish
sailor could have discovered
the new world. Chris took an
egg and asked the courtiers
to make it stand on end. They
tried and failed. Chris took
the egg, tapped the end of
it until it cracked, and stood
1t on end.
1t wasn't much Of a trick.
Still, you can't expect too
much of a man who flunked
geography.
