What Bolshoi Ballet is like
on its home stage is lavishly
revealed in it's own filmed ver-
sion Of Cinderella" the Apex
theater's holiday attraction.
What it is like is much more
than the company's artistic
brilliance, with which Ameri-
can balletomanes are some
what familiar. Beyond this
skill, the picture says eloquent
ly, are such adjuncts as what
appears to be acres Of dance
space. hundreds Of thoroughly
trained performers of all ages,
incredibly varied lighting which
is daringly used. and costumes
that a Cars court could envy.
These latter, of course, are
mere auxiliaries to Bolshoi's
dancing art. Nevertheless they
are not to be missed as dra-
matte elements of a "Cinder-
ella" intended as a spectacular
as we'll as an eXquiSitely danced
version of an immortal legend.
This is the full length Pro-
kofiev "Cindrella," an unbrok-
en- 80-minute performance, that
is to be found at the Apex. On
film, it has both inferiorities
and superiorities over a live
performance.
On the credit side is an ex-
traordinarily detailed see
ability. especially of some daz-
zling technical effects includ-
ing a ball sequence danced on
a mirror stage. Also, thanks to
the flexibility Of Bolshoi's
lights, the spectacle profits
from the use Of some striking
shadow effects.
The cameras limitless reach.
on the other hand, puts it up
to Ballerina Raisa Stuchkova
in the title role to dance the
illusion of youth rather than to
look it. AS in the case of Ulan-

spanish consul Jay NOVcllU
Frank Capra, a man Of the
warmest good will, has decided
that the perfect holiday play
mates for moviegoers would be
a collection of Damon Run
yon's prohibition era oddballs.
Accordingly, he selected those
of a great film comedy of 1888.
Lady for A Day" AS played
by q huge name cast they are
to be found at Keith's but un-
der a new label. "Pocketful of
Miracles"
Mr.. Capra clearly is right to
the extent that this is an ut
terly winning collection of low
lifes. headed by Bette Davis,
Glenn Ford, and Hope Lange.
The flaw in his judgment may
we'll turn out to be his failure
to recognize that they come
from a social climate so dat
edly pre-beatnik.
AS a director with a high
style in low comedy, Mr.. Capra
has sought to forestall this i'm
preston. He drives for the jolly
best in both the characters and
situation of "Pocketful of Mir
acles," the story Of a bootleg
ger princeling who rescues a
middle-aged, gin guzzling Gin
derella from her comeuppance.
This. Of course. is again the
story of midtown New York's
Apple Annie miss Davis who
keeps her daughter in a con-
vent in Europe where the lat
ter can live with the illusion
that her mother is well off
and well bred. It is up to the
heart-of-go mobster to carry
out the deception when the
daughter arrives home with
her fiance. a Spanish count.
How this miracle is managed
Is the slaptick substance of
Capra's film. 1t is directed in
ventively and acted with great
spirit out to the farthest fringe
of the expansive cast. This
goes far to conceal the fact
that Runyon was as sentimental
as he could be amusing about
his non-conformists. Not al
ways quite far enough in
picture as long as "Pocketful
Of Miracles" however.
Ford as the golden boy of
the speakeasy era is the dom
inant figure in this version of
Lady for A Day" He turns
out to have rather a flair for
slapstick as does, surprisingly,
Miss Lange who usually is more
soberly employed.
Miss Davis. to nobody's sur
prise, is fine as both the rowdy
and sedate Apple Armies.
Among the not so secondary
performances. the standouts are
those of Peter Falk, Thomas
Mitchell, Arthur O'Connell.
Mickey Shaughnessy. and Ed
ward Everett Horton, a butler
naturally.

Come Back" Technicolor was
invented for this blue-eyed,
blond actress-singer. Boy, how
she photographs! It's almost
unbelievable. In real life Doris
has freckles and is not a fash
ion plate. On the screen. she's
peaches, cream and honey, and
the best-dressed woman we
have here-abouts. Doris and
Rock are a money-making COM
bination and they should pair

I that could be used in freeing chill
dren to watch athletic contests had
been set, and that these limitations
were still in force.
Specifically in regard to wrest-
ling, he said the board generally
felt that this was a sport not
necessary to the physical educa-
ton or sports program of the
school, but declined at this time
to take a stand against COMPETE
tive wrestling in the schools I'M
! till it had time to study the matter
more thoroughly.
He added the board was in
clined to leave the final approval
for participation in this sport to
the principal of the school ard
TO parents of pupils who wished
to participate, but that in general
the board did not approve of any
further expansion of athletic con-
tests over what has already been
established
In other activity at the board
meeting Tuesday the members re-
viewed the need for a more com
petitive teacher salary scale. Mr.
Hawkins also pointed out thai
much of the local increase shown
in school expenditures was manda-
tory by state law and grew out of
the increase in local assessments.
AS these assessments increase the
county must, by law, put more
money into the school system
while the state withdraws a SINH
lar amount of state aid for schools.
He stressed that an increase in
local assessments does not neces-
sarily increase amount of money
for schools, but rather increases
the amount provided by the county
and decreases the amount pro-
vided by the state.

the board went on record as APP

Francis Green presented a petit

Madam Festival" her chill
dren call her, and with good
reason.
For Mrs. Fuad es-Said, a
brilliant, soignee Lebanese,
is one of the dynamic forces
behind the success of the an
nual International Festival
in Baalbeck.
Mrs. es-Said is the sister
of Lebanon's Ambassador to
Washington, Nadim Dimech-
kie, and has been in town for
a brief visit.
But even here her mind
stays on the festival-an
event which takes place in
the famous Roman ruins of
Baalbeck, just two hours
away from the capital city of
Beirut.
Nightly Performances
From mid July through
August some of the great mu-
sicians, actors and dancers
of the world perform nightly.
CThe Old Vic Company, the
Comedie Francaise, the Royal
Ballet. the New York Phil
harmonic and many others
have appeared.)
This great passion of her
life began quite casually.
In the fall of 1855, Camille
Glamour, then President of
Lebanon, called some forty
prominent Lebanese to his
residence to see what they
thought of organizing a cul-
tural festival at Baalbeck.
II suppose we were a bit
intimidated or overawed, so
we all obediently voted yes.
not having any idea what a
festival was or what we we're
to do" she laughed.
On the spot, President Cha
noun suggested they elect
officers, and Mrs. es-Said
found herself head of a COM
mittee to contact performers
from the English speaking
world.
Then he asked them for
financial contributions ac-
cording to their means and
promised that government
funds also would be counted
on.
Imagine she said. I'VE
began this with no Of
flee, no telephone, no secre-
tary and each of us went
home that day completely
ignorant of what lay ahead"
But within a few weeks
Mrs. es-Said had persuaded
Robert Atkins, the director
producer of London's Regent
Park Open Air Theater, to
bring a troupe to perform
two Shakespearean dramas.
HE flew out to Lebanon"
she said, land when I took
this elderly white haired gen.
tleman to Baalbeck, suddenly
he started jumping from pillar
to pillar like a young goat.
reciting Shakespeare as he
went. Then I knew it was
going to be a success even
though we still had no elec-
tricity, no chairs, nothing!
Slowly they materialized as
all of us begged and bor-
rowed wherever we could"
"ShrubS in Tubs"
Shortly before the festival
opened Mr.. Atkins wrote from
England that he had to have
16 shrubs in tubs, of a GER
tain size, and enclosed a very
rough sketch.
"I had no idea what a
shrub in tub was," said Mrs.
es-Said. I'm Lebanon we have
very few nurseries, but I fl
nally found one run by an
Englishman who understood
what / needed. He volun-
teered to lend them to me
on one condition. I must re-
turn them intact. They had
to be watered twice a day
and no sun must touch them.
Imagine that in Baalbeck
where the sun pourS down all
day and there is no shaded"
However, she hired a man
to transport the shrubs to
Baalbeck and attend them
like a nurse. The night Mr..
Atkins arrived in Lebanon,
Mrs. es-Said insisted he go
