Ballet Comes lo WGC
On Entertainment Series
The first program of the Car- (
roll Entertainment series was;
presented on November 14 in
the college auditorium. The Chi
cago Opera Ballet, directed by
Ruth Page and Bently Stone,
presented a program of eleven
dances; ranging from the very
modern “Slaughter on Tenth
Avenue” to the classic “Dance
of the Hours” from “La Gioco
uda” by Ponchielli.
There was no chance taksn
about not pleasing the entire
audience at one time or anoth
er. A Dance-play, written by
Miss Page, was in the style of
the 16th century Commedia dell
’arte. An interpretation of the
effects of being in the fighting
business too long was given by
Bently Stone, followed by a
humorous recollection of the
“good old days” entitled “The
Flapper and the Quarterback.”
A particularly interesting
number was a s-t of three folk
songs: “Runnin’ Up the River;”
“The Ladies Plum Wild,” and
“Injun Style,” which were pre
sented by a group of teen-age
members of the cast.
Other numbers included “Zep
hyr and Flora,” “Valse Cecile,”
“Rondino” and a take off on
moderns by Miss Page.
The climax of the entire pro
gram, as well as the conclusion,
was the presentation of “Beauty
and the Beast,” featuring Miss
Page and Mr. Bently, who were
flanked by the entire group. The
last dance, full of color and
fire, was the familiar tale of the
enchanted prince, who could on
ly be released from his spell
when someone loved him. The
costumes and music were in
good keeping with the story.
The Carroll Enetertainment
Series will bring another well
known act to the people of Car
roll county-and the students of
West Georgia College on De
cember 8. This time the pro
gram will be given by only one
person, Miss ’Mary Hutchins,
who comes from Broadway and
other entErtainments centers'.
Two other programs will be
presented during the coming
year. They will be of various
types and are chosen with truly
good entertainment in mind.
