January 26, is the story of i Sow two young men. fighting dlacour- ! igoments and prejudice, combined ihole creative efforts and produced ! hat unhiuo dance organization known today as the Joosg European Ballet. Burt Jocss is the artistic director as well as creutour of the ballets, while ! Krltz Cohen, composer-pianist, occupies the post of musical director. VN lieu they first met, Mr. Juoss was J the ballot master at one of tho provincial theatres, and Mr. Cohen was a struggling young conductor, trying to not a foothold for his now Ideas in :>pera production. They found so many of their views In harmony that they decided to devote themselves to the creation or a modern ballet group that would ox-1 press In mute language all the dramatic events of human life. Mr. Jooss was to create the ballets, Mr. Cohen to write or arrange the music. Every spare moment of their busy! Liv-es was devoted to putting their! plans Into execution. This was In 1927. Not since the days of Diaghileff has such a vital and significant group of lances as the Jooss Ballet been seen >n the stage. ? This organization work- . Ing In comparative obscurity for sevsral years, has, during the past sev?n years, attained a perfection of ensemble which marks it as unique. The Joos8 method Is a facile blending >f theater and dance, founded upon classic traditions, but developed In consonance with modern feeling. It is unquestionably art, and at the same time it is entertainment of the highest order. As John Martin, prominent commentator of the dance, wrote _ In the New York Times. "The Jooss Ballet is Indeed a mile-post in the history of theatrical dancing." The Jooss Ballet will be presented at 8:30 P. M., January 26, 1940, at the Township AucMtorium, Columbia, S. C., under the auspices of the Colum-' bis Muslo Festival Association. *GIANT HOU8ING PROJECT SOON READY TO BE OCCUPIED Marine Barracks, Parris Island, S.
