Tres Bien---
Argentinita Hot on Coeds Ice Cream, and Gable
"Senorita" Argentinite, world famous dancer who appeared Monday night on the University Concert Series, likes the American college girl's casualness in clothes. The vivacious, graciously humorous Spanish dansuee sitting on a gray-green divan in the lobby of the hotel Eldridge last night arched an eyebrow and said, "The American college girl's clothes? I like them 'tres bien.' The dress is much more natural than that of European college girls."
She speaks Spanish and French fluently and in order to converse more easily with her French manager, Monsieur Michael Horwitz, she talked in French. Although she speaks English, her Spanish accent is so pronounced that she is difficult to understand.
Argentinita said that her favorite American foods are "Ice cream, ice cream sodas, and malted milks." In spite of her healthy appetite, Argentinita cannot eat for three hours before a performance. She can, however, drink coffee. Her manager, Horwitz, said, "After her dance, then she is really ready for a meal."
She "loves" all forms of theatrical entertainment, particularly the movies. Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, and Leslie Howard are her favorite stars. Available now in Penguin.
Argentinita was born in Buenos
Aires of Spanish parents, but has spent most of her life in Spain. She said, "I began as a child, dancing gaily all through the house." At sixteen, dancing had become her career. She studied under Spanish teachers.
Her company of nine people includes her sister, Pilar Lopez; Federico Rey, the only male dancer; Carles Montoya, one of Spain's foremost guitarists; and Rogelio Machado, accomplished pianist.
Argentinita is attempting to present for the first time a full preview of Spanish folk dancing typical of all regions of Spain. "Her costumes are absolutely authentic," Horwitz said.
Her last dance "Bulerias", in which the footwork is similar to tap dancing, shows a continuous change of rhythm and was described by a Boston critic as resembling an American "jam-session."
