Appear on Association Program Here TRUDI SCHOOP is coming town! That name to American audiences is like the Pied Piper's to the children of Hamelin. This Swiss ballet Miss is in fact the Pied Piper of pantomime. By the time she comes to Bakersfield on next Tuesday evening under the auspices of the Kern County Musical Association, during her third titillating transcontinental tour, she will have been likened to practically every comic character in life and literature. Returning to America under the sponsorship of S. Hurok, this mistress of pantomime is bringing her troupe of 22 in a new ballet, entitled, "All for Love." Miss Schoop was much intrigued by Amer.

ica during her previous two tours, especially by the gum-chewing tives. This new ballet is her comment on life in this country. Love Personified Combined with this is also a commentary on love. The Swiss Puck of. Pantomime observing that love manifests itself in many complex ways has made a composite picture of the roles it plays in all spheres life.

The mimes and dancers run the gamut from the deep-rooted devotion of a mother to the gaudy musical-comedy revue. With a musical background by Lothar Perl who lent his creatives and pianistic talents to Miss School's former fun-fests, "All for Love," begins with an escetic preacher competing with the roaring heedless city for the ears of the hurrying passers-by. The episodes depict with cinematic speed the plight of motherlove stealing for its children; a schoolgirl throwing a classroom, the teacher and the board of education a furore by Injecting love into the day's lesson; a jealous husband being transformed into a bar-fly. This and more are features in this landscape of love that spreads out and minates in. a broadly humorous satire of the musical revues that use love for their central theme.

Tamed Dancers The grand passion with a capital is a juicy target for the gravitydefying and miming dancers, many of whom have become familiar to American audiences in their past two visits. The expert carlacaturings of Edith Carola, Otto Ulbricht, Ralph Ray and Meta Krahn are again at their best advantage in this cartoonlike parade of love's foibles and heartaches. Also on pleasing display are Marian Daac, Ellen Lly and Katta Sterna. Miss Schoop has added several new members to her company whose twirling and strionics are drawing notice all along the line. Their names are Irja Hagfors, Hascha Beslakoff, Marrit Ohisson and Ellen Helweg.
