Precision Performance Wherever Jose Greco and his troupe have traveled, they have re ceived a resounding welcome, from New York's m o s t sophisticated hostelrys to the gambling palaces of Las Vegas. For year, theater critics have been searching for ade quate words to describe the seem ingly effortless precision of Greco's performance. Greco was born in the remote village of Montorio in the Abruzzi Mountains of northern Italy, and it was there he first began to imitate the fiery itinerant dancers he saw perform in the village enco square. He arrived in New York at -e at the age of ten and continued to study dancing. Sometime later, Greco made his debut in Bizet's opera "Carmen" at New York's Hippodrome, then re turned to five more years of danc ing and studying. At the end of this time he met "La Argentinita,-' a spanish dancer widely known for her dancing artistry, and was ad in- her partner from 1941 to 1945. Uni ting.
