Tropicanzq
Reviews and Previews
"Different" is the word for the
SEC presentation of Tropicana
by Talley Beatty and his dance
group at Memorial Hall on Tues
day night. Agile, spirited and
talented, Mr. Beatty and his
dancers" displayed a fascinating
range of dances based on Afro
. Indian, Afro-Cuban and Afro
American themes. Beginning in
the-familiar settingof a Carib
bean holiday, the dancers moved'
through a series of interpreta
tions climaxed by the Macum
beiras, a frenzied flagellation
dance whose passion the dancers
communicated to the audience
with pagan brilliance.
Against a simple pastel sett-'
, ing the costuming was colorful
and effective. But these dancers
would have been provocative
and arresting on a bare stage,
dancing in street clothes. Mr.
Beatty knows what he wants
to do and how tp do it, and the
group brings the primitive and
the sophisticated into exciting
juxtaposition.
The choreography, blended of
native and modern American
interpretations, was on a con
sistently high' level, especially
in "Southern Landscape,' a se
quence inspired by the destruc
tion of "Negro and White free
dom and cooperation in the
South' following the Recon
struction period. Mr. Beatty's
"Mourner's Bench" from this
group was particularly impres
sive in its flowing movement,
perfect control and communi
cated anguish. -
Highlights of the - evening
were "Region of Sun," a pri
mitive pastral, and the unin
hibited "New Orleans Night,"
whose effect is best summed up
in an overheard remark: "Man
that was the most interpretive
interpretive dancing I ever saw!"

"Sali io the Devil"
The motion picture, "Salt to
the Devil" which played Tues
day and Wednesday at the Var
sity, is a rather effective adap
tation of- Pietro Di Donato's
admirable and controversial
novel, "Christ in Concrete."
There is a wealth of substance
contained in a thematic center
capable of some interpretation,
the primary crux of which, how
ever, is probably that of the
ironical lag in a system of social
J responsibility geared to rj-act
sooner to the needs of death
than of life, to bind up wounds
leather than prevent them.

Lea Padovani is equally ade
quate as Anunciata, his wife,
an immigrant bride bringing
with her to a less exacting New
World the traditions of gene- i
rations of her Italian forebears.
The film, British-made, does
unfortunately possess some
technical and artistic incon
gruities. Although the support
ing cast is sometimes too Bri
tish to be credible as New York
Italian industrial peasantry, yet
in the final analysis their effect
is not irremedially harmful. The
surprising and saving factor is
that the basic power of the whole "
makes "Salt to the Devil" quite
worth seeing despite its defects.

. Wallenborn
Technique often convinces an
audience of musicianship, but
on last Thursday evening Robert
Wallenborn, pianist, showed an
equal facility in both, to produce
a highly satisfying concert rang
ing from Couperin to Stravinsky.
Perhaps Mr. Wallenborn's great
est virtue was polish; he had a
sure mastery of his music and a
smootheness of touch that
rendered especially Couperin,
Hayden . and Debussy tremen
dously effective.
Of the remainder of the pro
gram a series of three sonatas
by the late 18th century Spanish
composer Soler were most, like
able. The Schumann Davidsbu
endleriaenze, a series of 18
dances, could, like so many of
his works, come to few musi
cal conclusions because -of too
much variety. A Stravinsky
sonata after the intermission was
jolting and most pyrotechnical.
The last number on the program,
Albcrado del Gracioso by Ravel,
had the misfortune to follow
Debussy, which made it turn
out to be a kind of degenerate
Debussy instead of Ravel in his
own terms. .. ' .
Mr. Wallenborn generously
gave three encores. The con
cert as a whole was an exhibi
tion of the most thorough piano
playing given on campus this
year. We hope others like it will
follow. J; B. Stroup

Madam Editor;
Flash! via Angelic Press the
discovery has just been an.
nounced that GOD was so much
influenced by the insidious prop
aganda of those North of the
Michael-Devil Line that He
created Adarnand Eve in the
northern section of Eden. '
When called upon for com
ment a distinguished Senator
from Blissconsin and an official
of Superior White Shroud, Inc.,
both concurred in calling for an
immediate 'investigation of God's
patriotism and loyalty. As a re
sult of this discovery it was
rumored that a Seraphic Com
mittee was going to institute a
thorough-going baptism of the
Heavely Flock; the suggestion
was even whispered about that
a loyalty oath was to be drafted.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Madam Editor:
After I tracked down a copy
of that famous "Thursday, issue"
of The Daily Tar Heel, I felt
well rewarded for my efforts.
I immediatelyjnade a resolution
to get up five minutes earlier
every day so that' I would not
again fail to pick up the Tar
Heel for fear of being late to
class. ' '
It's not so much a matter of
which side a person takes but
of keeping the questions open
through "free speech and fear
less." I have an unbounded and
perhaps naive faith that people
are bright enough to arrive at
a reasonable viewpoint if they
have access to facts, a chance
for discussion, and freedom from
undue restriants.
I do not underestimate the
Clarks, but I wondered a bit at
Dick Murphy's inclusion of Nell
Battle Lewis as a factor in "fear
psychology." I can. see how

CVCK ANSWPfC TO
anyone who follows Columnist
Lewis in The News & Observer
might be annoyed, irritated ex
asperated, and occasionally em
barrassed or nauseated by her
remarks on segregation and the
Communist menace, but surely
no one takes her seriously
enough to intimidated. The fact
that' Miss Lewis is published in
The News & Observer is a tri
bute to freedom of speech, if not
to good taste, for surely that
liberal newspaper cannot share
her views. And since she is a
beneficiary of the policy, surely
Miss Lewis, would" be the last
to wish to ... limit freedom of
speech, even to those who are
benighted enough (like me) to
disagree with her completely.
Thanks for your firm and I
hope effective stand. It should
bring some noticeable results,
the first of which, and increase
of interest and awareness, is
much in evidence.
