Hildegarde Bennett
Innovation Apr. 12-13
At Ballet Concert
by JANICE ROTHSCHILD
She’s* done it again! Hildegarde
Bennett, the dazzling little lady
with the shows up her sleeve, is
up to her old tricks of staging
something entirely new. This
time it’s a ballet written to words
rather than music, the words be
ing those of Gordon Jenkins’ de
lightful ‘‘Man
hattan Towers.”
The Atlanta
Civic Ballet, of
which Hilde-
barde is a co
director, will
first present
this work at
its annual con
cert next
Thursday and Friday nights, Ap
ril 12 and 13, at the Tower Thea
ter, with Albert Coleman’s Pops
Choir and Ruth Kent, of WBS-
TV, doing the narration.
Although major glee clubs and
choirs throughout the country
have presented “Manhattan Tow
ers," this is the first time that
it has been produced with cho
reography. As early as 1951, Hil
degarde sought to create chore
ography for it but was prevented
from doing so at the time because
it had not then been published.
Still unavailable to the public,
the manuscript has been rented
by the Civic Ballet for these per
formances. Extremely modern,
even jazzy in parts, this produc
tion marks the beginning of local
venture into the field of dance
theater.
In addition to “Manhattan
Towers,” the Civic Ballet will pre
sent “Fireworks,” a suite by
Dorothy Alexander, its founder
and director, with music com
posed especially for it by Hugh
Hodgson. A new ballet by Zach
ary Solov, ballet master of the
Metropolitan Opera Company,
will also be given. This is en
titled “Carnival of Destiny,” and
was staged by dancer Marianna
Williams of the Civic Ballet.
Completing the program in the
classical idiom, the Civic Ballet
will offer the immortal favorite
“Les Sylphides.”
There will be a children’s mat
inee at the Tower Theater on
Friday, April 13, in which the
Apprentice Company of the At
lanta Civic' Ballet will participate.
They will present “The Twelve
Dancing Princesses.”
