One of these is a serving

protection and rearing of a
child deserted by it's aristo-

a constituencies, buffoon
judge who in fifth story must
decide custody of the child,
the girl who loved it or the
mother who deserted it.

Tunisiun Art

Another part OF the Arab
world is heard from In an
exhibition briefly at Middle
East House, the headquarters
of the American Friends of
the Middle East. Almost 100
paintings and some ceramics
are on view through Thurs
day, the work of 10 contem-
porary artists of TuniSia.
With the show as commits
sioner is one of the artists,
Hatim Elmikki, who also de-
signs many of Tunisia's post
age stamps and who is re-
garded by at least one stamp
critic as the only worker in
that field with a sense of
style and a sense of humor.
The show offers a rare
chance for the Washington
art lover to test his eyes. All
of the artists are virtually I'M
known in this country, hence
the American visitor can
come to the show completely
unburdened by previous rep
utation. He can see what he
looks at instead of what he
has heard about.
The Foreign Touch
Despite the catalogue as
surances of ambition to Gre
ate an art purely Tunisian,"
the paintings on view no
more approach such an ideal
than do the novels and Sto-
ries of Albert Camus APP
proach a purely Algerian lit
erature. There is both French
and recent American influ-
ence evident and Of the two
the French looks better. The
most American of the group
is HEIDI Turk, represented by
10 paintings titled Abstract
Composition" and looking
like cut-down Jackson Pol-
locks. The trouble with Pol
locks dripperS is that if they
don't have size they don't
have much of anything else
and Mr.. Turki is no more
successful than Pollock was
at doing the trick on small
scale.
A more successful paint
ing recalling a contemporary
American is Sea Side Gene
tary," by Nello Levy, which
looks like a hardened Hedda
Stern. 1t has the same dark
bars against the same glow
of nocturnal light from be-
hind, but eliminates the fog
effect that counts for much
with Miss Stern and suggests,
instead of structural steel,
the bare bones of a ruined
ship.
Outstanding
All the work is on a high
level of competence, but three
painters are outstanding, Pr
ere Boucherle, Mahmoud Sc
hill and Mr.. Elmikki. In still
life and city scenes, Mr..
Boucherle creates strong
compositions perhaps basical-
ly cubist in their sirnplifica-
ton of form but surprisingly
recalling the Shor t-lived
French movement of Or
phism in their color relation
ships. Mr.. Sehili has achieved
a unified and independent
style based on large simplifi-
cations of figure in which
features becom e indistin-
guishable. forms monument
tai. "WaSherwomen" succeeds
completely in making lyric
art out Of the subject and
Recollection" with its half
nude seated figure, adds an
element of mystery, tremen-
dously attractive.
Mr.. Elmikki. in 10 paint
ings, looks as if he could stage
a group show all by himself.

flated to some 800 pounds
pressure. is a new sight-if
not sound-around here. Here
tofore, he has been a two
! diInenSional figure on televi-
sion or a New Orleans Jazz
master on records.
He is enormously impressive,
no less, in person, plays Dixie
land scaled to his size, and
makes an ideal partner for
Miss Fitzgerald. Even with the
latter waiting in the wings to
take over after the intermis-
sion, opening nights Standee
crowd kept clamoring for
more" of Hirt and his four
jazz associates.
Like Harry Belafonte who
opened the Carter Barron sea-
son, and Danny Kaye who will
follow her next week, Miss
Fitzgerald is the result of a
vintage year in the production
OF unique entertainers.
She is a stylist, sometimes
high-low, at others low-high,
yet inimitable at either end Of
her method. Her present pro-
gram of blues, ballads, jazz,
comedy is one she is trying to
keep new" against the audi
ence's very vocal clamor for
old favorites including How
High the Moon"
The result of this game is
q good -humored Standoff be-
tween the performer and her
flock with the. edge, if any,
going to Miss Fitzgerald. She
is the one not merely with
command but with the micro
phone. And, of course, the
trick Of using it to get her
way whichever way her whim
dictates that she go.
She goes the gamut, includ-
ing a lament (which only Judy

Garland can sing" called 1.-The
Man That Got Away" to an
inspired parody of the adoles-
cent rock and roll generation.
IF you can't beat 'em," she
justifies this, "join them" She
beats them, just as she beats
on a lot of other contempor-
airy entertainment items, in
cluding television commercials
which she weaves into her i'm
provised lyrics.
Like Belafonte, Miss Fitz-
gerald has the assurance that
everything she sings is a fav-
orite, old or new. One element
of this assurance, it goes with
out saying Cor almost did, is
that tonal range, from barrel
bottom depth to humming- bird
lightness. Another is that no
singer knows better, and few as
well, that a song is a sorrow,
a joy, a joke, an ecstasy, or
what has the composer?
The Is songs she sings, with
talented quartet accompani-
ment, range from the heart
break of MY Man" and
Round Midnight" to the zest-
full Anything Goes" ''Mr. Pag-
anini,' and the dramatic
Mack, the Knife" "Cry, Me A
River" " "Lorelei," "Slow Boat to
China" "Accentuate' the Posi-
tive and "A TiSket A Tasket"
are among the others.
BY the time she has con-
cluded the program, it is clearly
a dead-heat once more be-
tween Miss Fitzgerald and the
audience as to which has had
the more fun.

Of context, cheering dancers
here while their boss back
home is rafting megatons and
threatening the future of the
human race, is a question. The
Kirov company seems safely
under the wire, though.
Last nights opening per-
Torrance at Loew's Capitol
Theater quickly turned into
another mutual admiration So
ciety, with the pew-holders loft
ing loud huzzahS for some truly
splendid dancers. The same
rapport between ballet dancers
and balletomanes can be ex-
pected for the remainder of
the engagem emit, lasting
through Sunday afternoon.
This is as it should be. The
Kirov Ballet, carrying on the
Mafyinsky tradition that was
old and revered when Paylova
was a little girl, abounds in
superlative dancers.
1t is not. on first inspection
at least, as spectacular as the
BolShoi, but in its own field
,Kirov probably has no peers,
Its speciality is the classic bal
let, performed undoubtedly as
it was a century ago when the
chen long established company
became the Imperial Russian
Ballet. This is either in the
hallowed tradition or old
fashioned, depending on your
point of view. Whichever you
Eall it, you are not likely to
see it done any better than by
she Kirov dancers.
