Twirp Season, Nov. 7, B, Makes
Women Put Oil on Purse Zippers
by William Edmonds
Comes the weekend of November 7 and 8, and the campus will
take on a much different look than it has on prior weekends.
The week before will also be in somewhat of an uproar. Why
is this week to be different? The answer is really quite' complicated because "Twirp Season" gets underway, and every guy on and
off campus that goes on a date will be treated for free. Maybe the
married "Twirps" will go out, but I doubt it.

The popular concept of the
"u n i t i t i a t e d" that ballet is
"strictly for the birds" was shattered for many with the appearance of the Ballet Russe here
Monday night.
Although the final selections,
"Cirque de Deux" and "Gaite
Parisienne," were without a doubt
audience favorites, the more classic "Swan Lake" and "The Blue
Bird and the Enchanted Princess"
-w^r^^lso-warrnly_J3C£U£edj3^^
crowd.
For sheer beauty and grace
"Swan Lake" cannot be equaled.
The simple, bui poignant story
of ihe prince and .ihe swan
queen, ihe hauniingly beautiful
Tchaikovsky music, ihe ballerinas in traditional white costumes gliding across a "moonlit" stage combine io create a
spectacle unequalled in ihe ballet world.
Moscelyn Larkin as the swan
queen, and later the ballerina in
"Cirque de Deux" and the flower
girl in "Gaite," seemed to an amateur to be the more skilled and
graceful of the two leading bal
lerinas of the troupe. Her lovely
and expressive hands and arms
were a dance in themselves.
Tchaikovsky's less-f a m i 1 i a r
"Blue Bird" was probably the
least popular number on the program. Although the dancers were
beautifully costumed and performed brilliantly, audience appeal was lessened by the fact that
the story thread was almost completely hidden.
Humor was victorious over
skill, according io audience re-
a^ion^o^^orinod's-^irque-de—
Deux" or "Circus for Two." The
classic posturings of the ballerina and ihe premier danseur
were forgotten as all eyes
turned to watch ihe clowning
of iheir pages.
The crowd was given a taste
of the spectacle to be presented
in the final number by the lovely
pink and blue costumes worn in
"Cirque."
Offenbach's gay and impudent
music forms a perfect background
for "Gaite," a perfect finale for
the evening's perfect performance.
One of the most popular ballets
of our day, with reason", the dance
exudes  all  the   atmosphere   of
Paris of the second Empire.
The humorous element is introduced by the Peruvian, danced
by Gerald Teijelo, also the male
page in "Cirque." The romantic
element is found in the amours
of the glove seller and the baron,
the flower girl and the officer,
and the other couples who meet
in the Cafe Tortoni, where the
ballet is set. The spectacular element is interjected by the can
can dancers whose agility seemed
super-human.
These elelnenis~^w"eTre—com>—
bined wiih marvelous dancing
and gorgeous costumes io climax   an  evening   of   superior
entertainment.
Although the two-piano arrangements used as accompaniments were well-done, the numbers might have been slightly
more effective with an orchestral
accompaniment.
All-in-all, it was an unforgettable evening for ballet lovers and
those unfamiliar with the art.
Best of all, many found that so-
called "culture" could be understandable and excitingt in spite of
former skepticism.
