Mrs. White Speaks At Dinner
Small Crowd Sees Sherbon Dancers
Miss Sherbon's interpretation of "To Youth" was impressive, if not the best of the numbers she presented. She was assisted by Frederick Rogers, perhaps one of the best male dancers in her troupe.
By Bill Koester, c'41
The costumes worn by the troupe were beautiful and brief. In only one sequence did the men in the company wear shirts, and that number featured an interpretation of a soap-box oration. Most of the costumes were patterned in a blaze of color, featuring flowing lines and striking contrasts. Miss Sherbon's personal raiment was an outstanding part of the concert.
Alice Sherbon and her company of dancers presented their interpretations of rhythm and grace in the modern manner last night in an hour-and-a-half concert in Hoch auditorium.
Before a mediocre audience of lovers of The Dance, Miss Sherbon sent herself and her troupe seemingly into the realm of subconscious imagination in nearly every number to demonstrate the allocation of beauty and grace to the emotions and events of everyday life. Miss Sherbon herself did three solo numbers.
The intricacies in both the movements and the inspiration behind them were at times quite representative of the subject being interpreted, and at other times difficult to follow.
The group, composed of dancers from and around Lawrence, will appear in Kansas City, Mo., soon. It has trained for the present tour for more than a year.
Members of the piano duos are:
Jeanne Moyer, fa'42, and Barbara Brooke, fa'41; Eileen Martin, fa'42,
and Marshall Butler, fa'42. The string ensemble is made up of Ugenine Ninger, fa'42, violi; Lorraine Mcntyre, fa'40, second violi;
