The first of these, performed in costumes and against a background that is drawn from the authentic finds of the early Aztec civilization, depicts Ihc rise of the Emperor Moctezuma to the throne of Mexico.

Mme. Hernandez drew her inspiration from the ancient a paintings, sculptures, codices and accounts of the Spanish chroniclers to produce an exotic series of dances reflecting the earliest culture of the country. "The Revolution" is dedicated to the famous "solda- deras" the women fought side by side with their nrai when Mexico gained its democratic freedom in lilld. The ballet contrasts the superficial gaiety of life prior to tin; uprising, and the stirring songs and dances of battle. "Sugar Harvest" relates the life of a village in Tamaulipas, built around the yearly crop of cane.

Guy Revell, one half of the skating team of Revell a ri Desjardins, returning Nov. 1 to the Joe Freeman Coliseum with the 1906 Ice Cnpades, is a fellow who can attest to the fact that it take more than spirit and talent and dedication to become a champion skater. II also lakes money. The skaters you see at World and Olympic competition didn't get there by saving green It took money lots of money and most of it was needed tefore they were chosen and became eligible for national subsidies. Guy Revell knows, lie's gone the route, from just another kid on the ice to a bronze pairs medal in the I'M Olympic Games, to star status with the touring Ice Capades.

The 24-year-old native of Newmarket, joined Ice Capades as a single, but learned with Gertrude Desjardins, of Sndbury, almost immediately Miss Desjardins and her partner, Maurice Lefranc, had competed against Revell and his partner, Debbi Wilkcs, and were North American champions in So Revell and Miss Desjardins have the credentials. Getting them wasn't easy. Revell started skating when he was 9. At 17 he. began to take it seriously, and for skaters, seriously is spelled m-o-n-e-y.

Kven the little things add up. When you figure you're training five" or six hours a day, even the wear and tear on your family car come into it with all that running around." lie says that in his serious training years it cost his father anywhere from $4,500 to Sli.OOO a year to keep him skating and that was for training alone, excluding any travelling expenses. Naturally, skaters who win places on Canadian teams get some expense money. But Revell, like other skaters, says it isn't adequate. He found the jump from amateur ranks to Ice Capsules took considerable adjustment and has adjusted well, as those who see a performance of the famed ice revue will attest.
