TWO BALLETS differed greatly in style; La Sylphide is a ballet blanc where the dancers are dressed in white tutus portraying light, airy nymphs. Paquita is a Spanish flavor ballet and is full of gaiety and vivaciousness. T? t - O - _ I _ I- J _ 4 I J 111 jlu oyipniun, me uauirers are supposed to be light and possess a good elevation. But in this production, the dancers did not seem very sure of themselves in their arabesque penches, a step in which the dancer stands on one leg with the other leg straight out behind him then falling 180 degrees. The dancers seemed to force their technique which destroyed the illusion of light I ?wuuuidiiu iiympiis. K i ' IB JIB _^T( l !

But her interpretation of the Sylphide, who falls in love with a Scotsman, James, was touching. Warren Conover, a guest artist from the American Ballet Theatre, stole the performance with his technical ease. He iust seemed to hover the air while also proving to be the very essence of the Romantic hero. Despite the technical flaws, the production was enjoyable to watch just because of the beauty of the costumes and for the feeling of romanticism which the company gave. Paquita, the opposite of La Sylphidc, is lively, demanding a strong technique and Stacey Calvert led the ensemble with assurance and authority. The soloists proved to be just as strong individually. But as an ensemble, they were not always together ; one dancer would be just a step ahead cs at Ballroor THE AUDIENCE was shown film clips from Mary Hartman episodes, the movies Bananas, No Lies from Ingmar Bergman, and her first commercial for Jello cheesecake, for which she received theCleo Award for Acting. Lasser said that she was offered the role of Mary Hartman several times by Norman Lear before she accepted it. "There was something very gentle about him. I finally decided that the discipline of 52 weeks straight would be good for me. There was this look in his eye that finally convinced me." I.ASSF.H SAin nf man, Mary Hartman: "Mary Hartman was a statement for middle America; especially uneducated middle America; There were scenes about everything including masturbation and even one scene about orgasm when Tom and Mary were discussing their 3SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS UA flOT CINI I/ nn nivi CUUV PEAKER SERIEJ PRESENTS: . fiL HURWI IONOL ART ED JRS., mfiRCH 7:30 P.m. .OflN COLLEC ROOm 203 HON SPONSOREI ' EDUCATION STUD TELY FOLLOWING I .

He proved to be quite a cavalier to his ballerina. THOUGH THE COMPANY is not always strong technically they are always fun to watch for the sheer enjoyment of dancing. Columbians should be grateful for the chance to see these great classics the company brings. n From page 7 love life. Of course he did, and she didn't." The scene was scrapped because one station objected so strongly. LASSER SAID of the show, 44We were doing the best we could do, and suddenly the country just picked up on it as some sort of phenomenon. It was all out of proportion." The audience freely asked questions of Lasser. One interested person asked, "Is Fernwood modeled after Lima, Ohio?" It seemed that Fernwood is the name of the street that runs behind KATV in New York, where the series was filmed. Lasser gave a warm and open account of her public and private life and was very well received by the audience. When asked how shp would like to be remembered, Lasser replied, "As a good, good soul." She should have no problem. ps^ssssssss^ TZ UCATION" ?g | E. I ) BY | >ENT CHAPTER I LECTURE. I
