"Helâ€" en of Troy," is pure comedy danced to music of Offenbach with decor by Marcve] Vertes who was responsible for the brilliant decor of last year‘s smash hit, "Bluebeard." ‘ Ballet Theatre Opens Ten Daey Run At Civic Opera House Dolin‘s "Romantic Age" is another example of Dolin‘s preoccupation with the 19th century art, which last year brought about the charming Victorian reproduction "Pas de Quatre."

A total of 19 big productions, four of them entirely new here .and severâ€" al of them revivals of ballets not seen in recent years, will be brought to the Civic Opera House by Ballet theâ€" atre, whose engagement opens Februâ€" ary 24, and continues through March 7.

March 6, and Sunâ€" day, March 7. There will be no perâ€" formance on Sunday night, February Massines‘ new work, "Aleko," is as Russian as Moscow, for it is the result of acollaboration between Massine and <«Marc Chagall, noted> Russian painter, who is responsible for the decor. ‘The story is based on the famous poem "The Gypsies," by Pushâ€" kin, and the ballet is danced to the music of Tchaikowsky‘s Trio in A Minor.

A mixture of youth and experience they have both s peed, height and floor gencraiship and in Melvinâ€"Brewer, a 6 ft, 6 in. center, they have the focal point of a tall aggressive front line with Mulford Davis, 6 ft. 6 in. and Milton Ticco, 6 ft. 3 in. gent, aiding Brewer conâ€" siderably.. On top of that they‘ve got a Marvin Akers, 6 ft. 3 in. senior and Ken Rollins, 6 ft. 1 in. sophomore as the guards. ft‘s a tough ball club and none of the nine men who‘ll play against DePaul will be under 6 ft. in height. That makes the task for De Paul a tough one, and Ray Meyer‘s Blue Demons schedule has been anyâ€" thing but easy, They‘ve faced in the pastâ€"three weeks, three of the nation‘s toughest in Notre Dame, Camp Grant and Western Kentucky and there‘s nothing soft about the crew that the The Great Lakesâ€"Notre Dame game will mark the renewal of a short but bitter rivalry that began a year ago in the Stadium, when the Sailors and Irish clashed in a game for Navy Reâ€" lief, and it will be the first of two scheduled meetings this season. 'l'he‘ Irish with Keogan‘s strongest array of talent since Eddies Riska days will be tangling with a gang of high scorâ€" ing whirlwinds, who have trimmed everything in sight since losing to Illinois and Northwestern early in the year and they gained ample revenge on the Wildcats, when they faced that crew for the second time. It should be one of the games of the year, Notre Dame is ranked among the first four college teams in the nation and Great Lakes at the present time is waving the banner at the head of all the service squads. volatile Adolf Rupp is brinking up from Lexington this coming weekâ€"end What the experts term the greatest double header in the country this seaâ€" son is down for decision at the Chiâ€" cago Stadium, when the weekly Interâ€" collegiate twin bill is staged next Satâ€" urday night, Feb. 20. In the first game Notre Dame beaten but once faces the fast sailing Blucjackets from Great Lakes, and in the second affair Kentucky, feaders of the Sout! eastern conference and the only team to take Notre Dame into camp this season, plays the strong DePaul five.

All over the country, campaigns have started to interest citizens in gardening. Of the large cities, Chiâ€" cago claims the most active camâ€" paign. Now that food is scarce and expenâ€" sive, the story is different Many who spent time puttering with flower gardens, will $lant the ameQ space in vegetables, devote their time to growing food for the family. f For several years he gospel of a garden on every farm, both for ecoâ€" nomy and for nutrition, has been preached. But until the war started it had not seemed worth while to enâ€" courage urban gardeners to grow their own food. Fruits and vegetables were plentiful. Better buy them from men who made a living growing them. | ExLibris Highland Park USO um:!.m.nmavmm EZIMAUSTED, RIDDOEN WITH DiSEASz, Shir maNaGED 10 Kiu. Elour FoR Every one or mer can..l H. P.

By Villiam Sharp John van Druten the author of "Old Acqua.ntance‘ ‘has spent much of his time commuting between England and America and during his many lecture tours in America from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast he has had amâ€" ple opportunity to observe the life of this country. Being a good draâ€" matist he hx translated our life to the stage honesty, sensitiveness nd humog®All of these are present in "Old fimum«” which opened Thursday, February 11 at the Goodâ€" man and will play for two and a half weeks through February 27, nightly except Mondays. This comedy of America is written around two woâ€" men who were born and grew up in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, who are as authentically American as ff they had come from the pen of a man who spent his life between Harrigburg and New York. Van Druten was first known to American audiences by his play "Young Woodley" which was first produced by the American Theatre and with American actors. The proâ€" duction of "Old Acquaintance" is diâ€" rected by Eunice Osborne who comes to the Goodman Theatre from New York, spending each winter in Chicaâ€" go directing some of the productions and teaching in the Goodman School of Drama. The tale of Little Black Sambo whith has been dramatized by Charâ€" lotte B. Chorpenning and was presentâ€" ed several years ago at the Goodman is playing to overflow houses. The fascination of the title and the story muchâ€"loved by the children has more than overcome the hardships of packâ€" ing up the family even in subâ€"zero weather and putting them onto streetâ€" cars and buses and trains. The play has been selling out about a week in advance. â€" The run will continue through Saturday afternoon March 20, and will have a special morning perâ€" formance on Saturday, March 6 at 10 :30.

ROMULO, fihxm% BRalzon. made Crlos?muly escapre in a FALL OF THE PHI LIPPINES "Fantasia" cost more than $2,200,â€" 000 to create. The Disney artists drew more than 600,000 celluloid drawings and 1500 backgrounds, not counting hundreds of preliminary sketches. "Fantasia" is all thing to all men, apparently. For the music lover, there are seven great masterpieces of music played by the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra under the direction of the mighty Leopold Stokowski. But as one plain, ordinary guy said, after having seen the picture, "Fantasia is no more for the music lover than Gargantua is for the animal lover!" Perhaps he meant to convey that in his opinion, "Fantasia" is even in the "wonder" class. Maybe it is. The readér can be staggered by a few statistics, for instance.. "Fantasia" won three Motion Picture Academy Awards, including the coveted Irving Thalberg Award, the highest honor the motion picture industry gives. . New and fascinating Walt Disuey characters number more than five hundred. Mickey Mouse is the only familiar character you will see. The Sound Track is one of the characters, and is a hit of the show. If this all sounds "haywire," in the best Ameriâ€" can dialect, then that‘s because it‘s "Fantasia !" . tegory â€" "You gotta see it!" The circle comes back to where we started. Other details about "aFntasia" are that it was photographed in the most beautiful and dramatic ‘Technicolor, with new techniques involving multiâ€" plane cameras, oil painting, diffused lighting, and other marvels of craftsâ€" manship that produce the picture‘s periection. These may be the items that will intterest the guy who autoâ€" matically turns first to the sports secâ€" tion ; the point is, there is something to interest him, too, in "Fantasia." While he may come out scratching his head and muttering "What‘s it all about?," chances are he will never forget it; and he will add his opinion to the conversation when â€"â€" as it inâ€" evitably does â€" "Fantasia® comes up ‘h‘l'hhhn to put it | way to put | ’l ng-'-.nqz’-‘l,n-p' g More than 450,000 feet of music were recorded on 9 separate sound tracks by the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra for the seven musical masâ€" terpieces, which are "The Nutcracker Suite" of Tchaikovsky; "The Sorcerâ€" er‘s Apprentice" of Dukas; "Rite of Spring" of Stravinsky ; "The Pastoral Symphony" of Beethoven; "Dance of the Hours" of Ponchielli; "Night on Bald Mountain" of Moussorgsky; "Ave Maria" of Schubert. If you‘re beginnin to think "highâ€" brow." then let it be said there‘s also a jam session by the Philadelphia Symphony. And the "Dance of the Hours" is interpreted in the greatest slapstick comedy Disney has ever creâ€" ated; while the "Rite of Spring" has strong, raw, primitive drama that will make your blood run hot.

Already there is tremendous curiâ€" osity about Walt Disney‘s "Fantasia," coming soon. Few people seem to know what it is about, or how to describe it â€" but those who have seen it wax enthusiastic, or incoherâ€" ent, or trip their tongue over their front teeth trying to describe the wonâ€" ders of this revolutionary picture. Usually such explanations wind up with a firmly stated, "You‘ve just got to see it â€" that‘s all!", a judgment borne out originally by the critic of Esquire Magazine, who wrote the same coment â€" "it cannot beâ€"desâ€" cribed, it must be seen." > Saturday night there will be a keno party at 7:30, and at 9 o‘clock inforâ€" mal . dancing with Highland Park G.S.0. hostesses. ‘Coffee hour at 9:30, and overnight sleeping for service men.
