Abstract

Dance
Niles, Katherine | May 22, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

Broad in scope, nobly ambitious, sensitive to its musical inspiration, with details attended to and main objectives kept in sight, the second annual dance festival of the Neighborhood Playhouse deserves to be remembered as the culmination of an exceptional season. Audience's generous response to the Neighborhood's more exacting features signifies much for the future of dancing in the U.S. The thought behind the ballet to Debussy's "Nuages et Fetes" was obscure at points, at others, over-facile. It is with Richard Strauss's "Em Heldenleben" that Miss Irene Lewisobri (the leading spirit in these adventures) has done her most distinguished work.
