-The program started with 'Hamlet at Thebes," with by Rita Jones and featuring Michael Lopuszanski as Hamlet, Florence Geise as Gertrude, Ernesto Veneziani as the King, Liza Pencke as Ophelia, and John Murphy as Horatio. "Hamlet" was inspired by the ureek legend. It deals with the psychological point in Hamlet's life when he becomes aware of lis mother's a i paralleling Oedipus' a i discovery of his marriage to his mother at Thebes. The action starts with Hamlet telling Horatio the true story of lis father's death by poisoning. The two levels on stage were ingeniously used to represent the difference between reality (the jround level) and Hamlet's imagination (the platform.) Miss Jones knows her craft well.

Simple choreographed patterns and repetitive moments made the story flow easily hrough the seven sections. ballet was not marred by extraneous pantomime.
