The Statesman I'M Dancing feet arid 'dancing eyes, gay. and gorgeous costumes, throb bing music and crackling castanets and for two hours Monday night members of the Salem Knife and Fork club lived in Spain and Latin-America, although they never left the, mirror room of the Marion hotel. 'i Teres il a Osta, .dancer, and Emilio Osta, pianist and brother of the sparkling young feminine star, were roundly applauded for their varied program, second "nov elty" art feature brought to the club here- during Its two years existence (Baroness Suzanne Sil vercruys. sculptress, demonstrated her working techniques last year, at the sa me time lecturing, on art). Spanish," Indian (Peruvian Inca), gypsy dances and an jota (easant, from Aragon, reputedly the fastest European folk dance) were among the major attractions of Miss Osta's portion of the performance. But the Cato Argentino, which she brought back, on encore, par ticularly, tickled the fancy of on lookers. A saucy number to begin with, it permitted her to flirt and frown, make eyes and faces in the intimacy of the converted banquet room. The pianist, who not only ac companied his sister but appeared in two groups of solo numbers, de light ed his audience, but was call ed back time and again after his rendition of Chopin's Polonaise in A flat, only non Latin or non-Indian selection on the program and better- understood by a majority of his hearers than any other. As an encore he played Chopin's waltz in A flat. Next program on the Knife and Fork club agenda, April 15, brings the Archduke Felix of Austria as a lecturer to Salem, Justice George Rossman, president of the organi zation, announced. U. S.
