Modern Dancers'
Conclude Brilliant
C.K.C.C. A. Series

By BETTY EARLE
Addison Fowler and Florenz Tamara, Internationally famous dance
rn
team, were presented in
dance Interpretations Tuesdaj
night at Henry Clay auditorium by
the Central Kentucky Community
Concert association.
Having performed throughout the
United States and Europe, Fcwler
and Tamara offered a varied program, pleasing to any follower oi
this art. Beginning with an "exotic
version of the modern dance, symbolic of East India," their selections
continued through a. French "Gavotte." continental numbers, Spanish dances, the Tango of 1936, followed by that of 1913, to a satire
entitled "The Debutante." The last
was especially amusing, allowing
adherents of the campus style ol
dancing to see themselves as they
may appear to others. The final
encores were in a similar vein, being brief satires on the dance as we
oommonly see it. The first twe
concerned the terpsichorean ability
of a "tired business man dancing
with his wife in a small town," ana
then the same person "in New York
with a chorus girl." Finally Miss
Tamara Impersonated Gloria Swan-so- n
and Mr. Fowler, Charlie Chaplin. Strauss' popular "Blue Danube" was especially well received.
Fowler and Tamara presented
themselves In a fascinatingly . expressive manner, each number done
with the utmost poise of the drama.
Their attractive and appropriate
costumes added vivid color to all.
Charles Ruetschl was the brilliantly accomplished pianist who
played a number of compositions
in complement to the dancers' selections.
Prof. R. D. Mclntyre again announced the concert program for
Miss Kaththe coming season.
