The GAZETTE. Montreol, Oct. 9, 1969 Brian Macdonald and the Harkness r-imjj mmK) LUU3J WELL, BECAUSE IN I I Pfl I BUT why llil PTwikw sum i rrun 'VHil ca wood, i jusr pr cameo -crfl 1 1 )V idmim ir A K. rfiJ "VIM OU DUB AM ED IT.

The choreographer gives the dancers difficult things to do, and they do them with ease and delight. It was a fine vehicle for Dennis Wayne, who had been working so hard all evening in less rewarding roles. Macdonald's other work on the program was the other great pleasure of the evening. Unlike some of his earlier works where he has raised folk or idiomatic gesture up to the level of dance, in Canto Indio he has informed classical pas de deux with contemporary (Mexican) gesture, revitalizing the old arid giving the new a reference. And all this was much more than charming, danced by Elisabeth Carroll and llelgi Tomasson for they provided both aspects with a wondrous clarity.

The program began last night with a work which miglil better have opened the Harkness visit, Norman Walker's Night Song. A richly canonical work in which the dancers had a fair chance to demonstrate their excellences and showed us what revolutions can do for ballet, lor they were disciplined without beng austere, and pure without being strict. Best of all, and what the Harkness seems almost to stand for, in this work they achieved the abstract without dehumanizing it. imummuq i 1 r-r-, -r 1 i PONT COME ILL LOME: I Vol) kNOuJ A UJlTH ME, I'M 60IN6 TO REFWT U11 C0ME II I II WAT I foKn I LMil-mur iirliNOIil iV I NO ONE WANTS TO 3 REPDRTEP TO THE HEAP 0EA6LE I wW.nshwwi Mfcn 1 By STROWAN ROBERTSON It is of greater consequence, I think, than mere appearance when the male dancers of the Harkness Ballet go beyond the New York City Ballet (who were the first to dance in practice-tights and T-shirts) and take off their T-shirts for it is then we are aware of a tradition-breaking freedom. They have not been required to shave their arm pits.

It is of some consequence that a silly arbitrary tradition has been abandoned, and of considerable consequence that these dancers have a natural and easy look about them; that they are indeed the least epicene-looking company in the world today. But there is more to it than that. In this company, the male has been liberated. He is no longer a mere partner to a steel-toed bitch-goddess, compelled to serve her to her greater glory, grace and altitude. He is her equal.

Sometimes he is her superior. He even has whole ballets written about him. Of course there have been ballets composed about men before: Le Jeune Homme et La Mort for Babillee or Illuminations for Magalenes, etc. But it is my point that the Harkness, once they achieved this splendid liberation, failed to create ballets which capitalize on the new maleness. Lawrence Rhodes in A Season in Hell (last night) and Monument For A Dead Boy (Monday), reminds one of all the world of the sensitive athlete portrayed by Babillee and Magalenes, all those years ago, the dancer as poel In 1969.

Rhodes is, anyway, a dancer of great sensitivity and his huge appeal is the result of the force with which he is aole to to project mmisU tivity. Let him not be censured for that. It just seems a crying shame that so much fine ground should have been seized in the name of revolution, and nothing should have been planted on it. However, there was a battle of the sexes on the stage last night which was as wholesomely and equally contested as any one is likely to see off the Broadway stage. Brian Macdonald's Time Out Of Mind is altogether un-neurotic, as driving as the JAILED FOR JIG LONDON (AP) A jig, or a reasonable facsimile, put Irish actor Richard Harris before a London court Tuesday.

The judge was told that the Camelot star found a girl traffic warden starting to ticket a friend's car; that he hugged her to keep her from writing, and then danced her around. Harris denied putting his arms around the girl, but said he danced a jig' in front of her. Harris received six-month conditional discharge.

LE GAIN Black 12 Pieces z. if. 1 1 inclined to provide his opponent with any clews that might prove helpful in the Play-West led the king of diamonds and North's ace won the trick. South decided to make a club play. East put up the ace of clubs and returned a diamond.

South ruffed in his hand and led the king of hearts. When West showed out, it was apparent that East could not be prevented from winning two trump tricks. Since it was not convenient to make another play from dummy at this point, declarer led the king of clubs from his hand. Fortunately this dropped East's queen. The jack of clubs was continued and a spade thrown from dummy.

East ruffed and returned a spade, but South went, up with the ace and returned another high club on which North's last spade was discarded. East trumped once more, but now he was down to declarer's size in hearts and when South regained the lead, he drew the remaining trumps and claimed the balance. East's mistake came at trick three. When he is in with the ace of clubs, if he returns a spade it will establish the setting- trick for his- side before declarer can marshal, his. forces.

From South's failure to stand for the double it should be apparent' that he has but one diamond. It cannot hurt to make a spade play in case West has. a high card in that suit, and there will be time to play a forcing game later if such procedure seems QUIZ NO. 959 White to play and win.

When West overcalled South's opening one club bid with one diamond, North made a penalty double.

His hand rated to take a minimum of four tricks, and he was justified, in counting on partner for three. If. it should prove that South had sufficient assets to produce a game then the penalty might prove- to be quite substantial. South felt that his holding was much too distributional, to prove effective defensively and he escaped to one heart. When North showed the trump fit by raising hearts, South proceeded directly to game.

Against such robust bidding, East refrained from doubling, for he was not 111 wm. mm a i mm mm mm mm. m. 4 Wm I 1 1 i wmh. ii a 1 1 (jy 1 I i i I RAFIISTER.
