Snow of Provo, Friday night, at the high school auditorium. The entertainment was sponsored sponsor-ed by the Mother's Study club of this city and was given before a packed house. Funds, from the performance per-formance will be contributed to the high school art project. The lovely introduction number "Clair de Lune," an interpretation interpreta-tion of Debussy's famous music, which was created by Miss Packard Pack-ard and Mr. Snow, was a portrayal portray-al of lithe body movement. Shadow Shad-ow lighting was especially effective effec-tive in this visualization of moonlight. moon-light. . "Manhattan Serenade," done in a professional manner by Miss Packard, was the portrayal of an unsophisticated girl going to New York for the first time. Every change of attitude and fortune of the young girl could be easily discerned through the exceptional interpretation of this ultra-modern dance. Mr. Snow's most artistic number num-ber was ''Plumed Serpent," an original or-iginal interpretation of the plumed serpent and also steps from the , serpent worshipped by the ancient i Aztec Indians. Movements of the India worship were brilliantly dis-, dis-, played. The dramatic climax number, "Figure in the Stained Glass Window," Win-dow," which concluded the program, pro-gram, was appealing in its ein-'irily ein-'irily and reverent feeling. The priest at the cathedral, in his adoration of the figure in the stained window, imagined it came to life, giving him assurance that his supplication had been heard. Comedy numbers, "Morisca Serenata," by Miss Packard and "Turkey In the Straw," a cowboy number by Mr. Snow, received extended ex-tended applause. Lively and gay, they gave to the program variety and humor. Costumes were designed by Tom Boshard in connection with Miss Packard and Mr. Snow. Original and elaborate, they added much to the performance. Accompanists were Audrey Harris Har-ris Peterson and Marguerite Jep-person. Jep-person. A trio consisting of Martha Mar-tha Coleman, Joie Batchelor and Helen de Graff, rendered appropriate appro-priate numbers during intermissions. |
