GIFTS Phone SP 2-6253 i IPaDttpaPTmiPirn Over the breakfast coffee one morning last week we asked pappy why the Russian people made such a fuss over Pianist Van Cliburn, and why the Americans in turn are just raising the roof over the Russian dance troupe now touring the U.S. Somehow, it doesn't seem that either one can be THAT good. Pappy pondered and then ventured the idea that maybe it's a sort of subconscious impulse maybe the audiences and the critics are showing, without actually realizing it how much they personally would like to be friends with everyone and understand and enjoy thi people of other countries, be they Russians, English or Laplanders. A man named Cleveland Amory who writes for The Saturday Review had asked and answered the same question, and fortunately Potpourri picked up the issue half an hour later. Mr. A. wrote that everything seemed to be real con fused this spring. In supposedly hostile Moscow, an Ameri can named Cliburn receives an incredibly friendly reception; in supposedly neutral Lebanon and Algeria, American build ings are burned; in supposedly Good Neighborly Latin America, Vice President Richard Nixon is accorded " an incredibly hostile reception and in this country the Moiseyev dancers are given the greatest reception ever accorded visitors from the supreme Soviet. Mr. Amory noted that the Russians were really paid the supreme American honor "we asked-them back again to Madison Square Garden and the Ed Sullivan Show." (According to William Ewald of UPI, Sullivan has pulled off the cultural coup of the TV season and has signed the Moiseyev company for his June 29 show and will devote the entire hour to the troupe.) But to return to Mr, Amory's survey, of recent incidents he points out that at almost the same spot where in Caracas, Venezuela, Mr. Nixon and his wife were treated to so much hostility, Leonard Bernstein, American musician and conductor, was wildly cheered. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Armstrong were also wildly cheered in the same city. In New York City the audiences yelled and cheered and waved to the Russians on stage, and they yelled and cheered and waved right back. But on some days it requires as many as 18 policemen to guard the Russian consulate. So Mr. Amory comes up with this conclusion "Obviously there is the world over an intense desire to communicate, but and this is now equally obvious this communication must be as far as possible from the Governmental level . . . All in all, we need, it seems, more Marian Andersons and Leonard Bernsteins and Van Cliburns and Louis Armstrongs and Bobby Fischers and American Ballet Theaters, and less governments and politicians and Marines, and 101st Air- bornes." . Well, at least one member of the Moiseyev company thinks much the same way, and told his thoughts to a former Medford Mail Tribune reporter who went to San Francisco last week to see the troupe. Here is what Frances Bulkin jotted down after seeing the Russians perform, and talking with some of them: "I do not feel I can do justice to the Moiseyev company, but I will try. First . of all, their basic training showed through, then their 'drilling, their precision, their effects of formation, their costuming, and not least of all, the Russian talent of showmanship. "Their drilling must have been the most difficult of all for them it must have been quite militaristic. It -was no ordinary .chorus line work. First of all their work included both female and male dancers and .though our lines hold good formation, they are of short duration compared to the vigorous work these people did. There was so much more to it than just holding lines so much foot work, so many formations, so many effects. "Of course, it all -wis impressionistic. They made no pretenses of keeping entirely to just folk dancing, and yet it was. - , "The sweat, the toil it took on each individual's . part, to give such finished productions I cannot imagine. Their costuming was imaginative, bright, modern, but held to each type or each province they represented. remaps xne most intriguing dance was 'Partisan. (It denotes the struggle against the Nazis in the region of the Northern Caucasus.) It was most dumbfoundine. Thev all wore huge bat-like capes which appeared to be made of Astrakhan, black, and all you could see in the dark light were these unusual looking figures flashing around as if they were electrically motivated at a high rate of speed they kept going it was as if they were on motor scooters. 'The audience seemed absolutely struck trying to fig ure out the thing. Until then there had been forms of appre ciationsuddenly everything was dead quiet the staging was most effective. "Through the entire production the audience was most responsive there was applause, calling, bravoes and so on at the close there was a rising acclaim. They took curtain eall after curtain call. Before the intermission and at the close, the company waved to the audience, and we waved back. "Afterward we waited with many, many others at the stage door and engaged some in brief conversations. They looked so very much like everyone else that it was not easy to pick V them out. Necessarily, they were polite, like other entertainers of their caliber, but you could understand, as with other entertainers, they were tired, through with their work and wanted really to go on. We knew they were staying at the Whitcomb, so we went there. "Among others, we talked to Yasha Fyodorov, a musician of the orchestra. He was very dark and looked quite young, though he said he was 40. He spoke English well, and seemed genial and not at all bothered about time. This was nearly 6 p.m. and they had to perform again that night. "I said, I know you mostly rehearse, perform, eat, sleep and travel, and you have the acclaim of your audiences have you had other contacts with our country? He answered no, and added that there is little time. I asked him about the man on the street if ever the troupe had any difficulty in reception. He said they had had no difficulty. He real ized, however, they were reaching only the cultural level, and said 'we do not want to know just what is in the middle, to the left or to the right, but what everyone thinks.' "I said,, the whole thing seems a little ridiculous there is the iron curtain, yet youwave at us, and we wave at you. I pointed out that at first we were not friends during the Finnish incident, and then World War II came and we were friends during the German push, and next we are not friends again. The musician answered 'that is only politicians' and added 'we have come here to show we do not have horns' and gestured both hands to his temples! I hope he is right frankly I am tired of being juggled. Anyhow, vive le danse?" O.S. Spoon commercial sour cream, flavored with dill or a bit of nutmeg, on hot canned green beans.
