Argentinita, Dancing Star
Will Be Here December 12
Argentinita, whom Time magazine has tagged as “Spain’s
Number One Dancer,” will lead her troupe of Spanish dancers
and musicians in a performance Tuesday, December 5, at
McArthur court.
With Pilar Lopez, Jose Greco, Manolo Vargas, guitarist
Carlos Montoyo, and accompanying musicians, Argentinita will
offer a program of dances not only
of Spain, but of Latin America,
which she has gathered during
tours of remote provinces.
Her dances are costumed and set
authentically to the period and
style she is interpreting. She is not
only a dancer but a leading actress
as well, telling the stories of her
dances in song and pantomime.
Each fall and spring for several
years she has appeared with ner
ensemble as guest artist with the
Ballet Theater at the Metropolitan
Opera house.
Among her dance-dramas are
ballets which she has created dur
ing the recent seasons she has
spent in New York. These include
“Pictures of Goya,” presented a
year ago at the Metropolitan; “El
Amor Brujo,” a gypsy dance drama
to the music of Manuel de Falla;
and “El Cafe de Chinitas.” Re
cently she staged the dances for
“Carmen” at the national opera in
Mexico City.
The leading exponent in America
of the heel-tapping, castanet-click
ing style of dancing, Argentinita
will appear in Eugene on her sixth
coast-to-coast tour of the United
States, in a program open to mem
bers of the Eugene concert series,
and to all ASUO card holders.
An expanded program of indus
trial nursing education through
which graduate nurses may get
the requirements of the Bachelor
of Science degree is offered this
fall by the School of Educatnon,
New York University.

We just want to say
Merry Christmas
and sincerely hope your holdays will be
pleasant ones
But somehow we're not thinking so much about
Christmas as we are of the
Sixth War Loan
and all that it implies. May we offer this
"Prayer" and suggest that we buy all
the bonds we can . . .
Yes, and sell them to oihers.
A PRAYER
Across the world the sound of shells has ceased . . .
And quiet shrouds the battle-rubbled West . . .
The enemy has laid away his arms, and Death and
Pain are done in France.
Eut I go on . . . for I must fight and kill . . .
And work and sweat . . . and hide and run . . n
For here the enemy is very much alive . . .
His bullets still are made of lead . . .
Their angry whispers still foretell of sudden death
For me and others crouched in slime and mud . . .
The end for us is yet to come . . .
And so we pray to God to give us strength
To fight and win . . . without the waste of Time . . .
