Sloan, former Corsicana boy, now widely known for his etchings and stage, designs recently won superlative praise from Los Angeles' foremost art and music critics for his work connection with the presentation of the Carpenter "Skyscraper Bat- let" produced under the direction of Harold Hecht at the Hollywood bowl. Isabel Morse Jones, music crlt- is for the Los Angeles Times, in her review of the Ballet says, "Skyscrapers" as a musical composition is a of modern America written with brilliant condescension. Harold worked out hia ballet ideas with intelligent adroitness. Blanding Sloan executing a stunning construction design against the white glare of the newly painted shell that was quite the most remarkable set ever seen in the Arthur Mlllier, art editor of the Times says "Blanding Sloan was Adjudged by many spectators the I need a protector and someone to love me as I know you only hope I feel well and rested when I see you."

The problem of reaching so vast an audience as 20,000 where there is a developed loud speaker system, but where there is no similar aid for the eye, is something that challenged the imagination of Sloan. The human figure or masses of figures became mere pin points seen at such a distance and on a background '50 feet in height and on a series of stages and fore stages irf terraced formation that approximated 146 feet in width, the effectiveness of their movement is entirely lost without original handl- incr. siban designated a set that took the form of a skyscraper in process of construction.

The ballet consisted of some 100 dancers who moved in and about and the. sot as -well as on the stages. In his lighting design Sloan proejcted huge shadows of the figures onto the background so that their move-, mcnta were interesting and perfectly discernible to the entire audience. Th use of these shadows progression to the climax when the shadow of a dancer moving in the rhythm of a swinging sledge hammer, was projected onto the shadow so huge as to dominate the entire Skyscraper and the sky.
