Tau Sigma Recital Proves a Success Before Full House
Program Includes Severa Original Studies; Men Give Interesting Indian Dances
The dancing recital last night by Tau Sigma was the most successful program ever attempted by that sorority, according to the verdict of the board. Ms. Miss Elizabeth Dunkel, director, expressed herself 70, being highly pleased with all the numbers as well. Every seat in the house was taken.
By Mary Wurst
The recital struck a lovely opening chord with the interpretative bit, "The Fountain," an unusual dance created by Anne Louise Bouchy. This work is by another more serious visualization of "Braun's Matz Number Four."
Phantasy is Difficult
A plantany, a dance conception which denied man as the victim of nature. He is called a different number in three parts. Serene nature was first depicted with the stately moon, clouds, and nature on a vast grassland, a man and woman in an adagio which was the most spectacular number on earth. This was the man and woman in Courney Pickers as the woman gave a skillful performance, while the man gave a skiffle three, were a gay, whirling floral.
The "Slave Problem," first of the diversions, was an expressionist tale about a slave who is impressive. The "Swan," another original creation was a graceful dance performed by its creators. Written in 1964 and performed at Miss Bomby, *L' Orienté* was truly eastern in conception and costume, but also with subtle references and a ode to Louise Allen. "The Mexican National Duit" flashing and colorful, was danced by Virginia Allen.
Tom-Tom Accompanies
A group of authentic Indian dancers was presented by Bob Newman and the American actor Christopher Dance" depicted the starting of the ceremonial fire and the dance of the four winds. Gleiguen did a dribble in front, and the Chippewa Warrior's Dream "dance" by Newman. The latter interpreted the performance before going into battle, from his reverie before the fire to the breaking of his sword, and from his reverie with hair-raising whipes. The dance were especially effective with the tom-tom accompaniment by Eli
The series of tap and soft soap routines seemed to be the most popular group of the evening. The dancers: Louise McCarthy, Liliana Moynihan, Eleanor Hallay, and Hazel Haley, were assisted by Joe Dunkel Jr. who sang and danced.
The finale, "Katherine," a clever and colorful dance of Russian conception, received much applause. The performance was especially entertaining.
Members of Tau Sigma appearing in the group dances were: Madge Lehman, Carole Robinson, Elizabeth Sherman, Barbara Christian, Alice Daven, Margaret Marmet, Wilma Taylor, Caroline Roh Home, Bernice Winterthaler, Virginia Derby, and
