IIAFrEL Quit? without intending to. your critic finds himself waxing nostalgic over Shawns part of this weeks doings at Jacobs Pillow. In particular St.

Francis of Assisi, takes old-timers clear back to the days a dozen years ago when programs were put on in the littebarn studio, with a handful audience packed in. Today was the first 'Shaw had danced in the Eerkshires since his trip to Australia last year. On stage he seems not to have aged a day in the past decade. Although he gained a little weight on his trip, it is! nothing that a bit of lit y-Krisp wont, smooth out. All the vigor: of his initial work in male dancing is there, but there seems to be a whit more of Restraint, something his best friends i will admit he has not been noted lor.

His pantomime in St. Francis is in reality a religious gesture language, and is singularly devout; his authentic religious -pantomime In the Whirling Dervish, tells its unfamiliar but understandable story of a holy men of the East. Shawns four works based on American folk tunes opened the program. telling in simple terms of simple Far more complicated is the allegory of The Divine Idiot, illustrating the torment of persons who are born 'ahead of their time. If Shawn seemed to dance this with more than ordinary feeling, no wonder.

In serious dancing, he and his wife, Ruth St. Denis, were all of generation ahead This is the second week for Danilova and Franklin at Jacobs Pillow. Mme. Danilovas "Sugar Flum Fairy, was a sort of tour de sur les Her elevation is perhaps not overwhelming! like Alicia Markovas, but she creates the illusion -of just reaching the floor with her toes, barely not floating up into the fly loft. From the- beginning of ballet, creating this illusion has been the goal of ballerinas; but of the many who heard the pall, few ever were chosen.

One early dancer actually took the bull by the horns, had an elaborate rope and pulley system rigged up with a husky stagehand in the wings, and literally took off when she leaped. Neither the audience nor the union, would like-that today, cf course. Frederic Franklin joined Danilova in the pas de deux from "Ray-. xnonda, a ballet which in its entirety is rather a bore, and is rarely seen. But the dance duet.

He later danced a Spanish folk number a little on the night-clubby side, but with good entertainment value. Thejr closed with the rococo but rather uncomplicated waltz from Beau a fine theatre piece in which Franklin provided good support. The ethnological section wentto Lilian and Peter, di Falco and Bette Braun. They presented several groups of Spanish dances which the audience enjoyed, their choreography fitting into' the program atmosphere better than last week's exotic Oriental woyks.

Being related to a famous person is a drawback; and Lilian, sister of Mme. La Meri who leads in the ethnological dance field, cannot help being overshadowed in comparison. But the -work of Lilian and her company are authentic reproductions of formal Spanish dances, and-the light-hearted folk dances of Spain. High of the program is Shawns entrance as St. Francis, using the roll-back stage rear wall which opens on the picturesque Berkshire Hills, an ideal backdrop for the story of theSaint who loved birds.

For example as little as invested regularly every week will bring you $2,163.45 by 1958! And there are two easy, automatic ways to get your Bonds.
