Artist Plans Rhinoceros Theme For Royal Pre-Nuptial Ballet By PAUL MOSCANYI United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) Salvador Dali plans to costume an entire ballet in white rhinoceros horns as a "gorgeous parade of chas tity" heralding the wedding of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier. The ballet is to be created for performance at the Monte Carlo Opera House in the gala week before the : April 18 wedding. Its backers said the idea came from Rainier's mother, Princess Antoinette.. . Horn Motif : The rhinoceros horn motif, however, came solely from the surrealistic artist who once leaned to the melting watch face. Dali now feels that "rhinocero sism will .catch the soul of our time." : "The horn of the white rhinoc eros is the successor to the horn of the unicorn .and is, like its ancestor, in the middle ages, the symbol of chastity," the mus tachioed Dali said. "Nothing could be a better symbol . for such a noble occasion as this princely wedding. ""Every dancer will be clad in a costume having the form of the horn of the white rhinoceros. It will be like a gorgeous parade of chastity." Zoo Rejects Idea The Bronx Zoo said Dali was off his easel if he thought the unicorn was the ancestor of the white rhino. ' "The unicorn was a purely imaginery creature and there fore couldn't leave any off spring," a zoo spokesman said. "The white rhinoceros is a pro saic, living animal,-though rare. It is found wild in Africa and in zoos in Europe and Africa." Dali was not troubled by such zoological considerations. , . "Our century has been called at times the.age of Communism, the age of capitalism, th'e age of anxiety and the age of jazz," he said, "but if you look beneath the surface you realize that this is the. age of the - white rhino ceros." .
