"The Cream of College Newt?
Dance Troupe
To Perform
At College
The Talley Beatty Dance Company of New York will appear at
A&T College in Harrison Auditorium for a presentation, Tuesday,
February 27, at 8:00 o'clock.
Fresh from new Broadway
triumphs, TALLEY BEATTY, acclaimed as one of the truly great
creative geniuses of the modern
American dance, brings his most
brilliant company of dancers and
musicians on tour. Rarely has any
attraction earned such excited enthusiasm from audiences and
such superlative notices from the
critics. All agree it is dance at its
stimulating best, theater of immense emotional impact, and
rhythm of throbbing, invigorating
intensity.
AUTHENTIC MATERIAL
Talley Beatty has probed folk
sources for authentic material
which he has transformed into a
beautifully integrated production,
rich in artistic resourcefulness and
thrilling in its effect. "Modern
dance, jazz dance, and touches of
primitive dance are all a part
of his choreographic material,"
says Walter Terry in the New York
Herald Tribune. "Peculiarly
enough, all of these ingredients,
instead of clashing, fuse into an
overall theatrical style beautifully
suited to the themes of Mr. Beat-
ty's work."
UNUSUALLY GIFTED
"Talley Beatty has long been
known as an unusually gifted and
exciting dancer. As a choreographer, he has come up with several
theatrically vivid pieces. . . ."
John Martin in THE NEW YORK
TIMES adds: "He has chosen some
fine music and uses it admirably,
for its instrumental timbres as
well as for its rhythmic modeling,
for its emotional tone as well as
for its melodic base. He has also
chosen some remarkably fine
dancers, rehearsed them within an
inch of their lives, and made it
possible for them to deliver his
intentions with authority and power."
Mr. Beatty won universal critical accolades last season in New
York with his creation of an original dance suite called "The Road
of Pheobe Snow." DANCE MAGAZINE commented: "Reassuringly,
when a choreographer has the kind
of conviction that produced 'The
Road of Phoebe Snow,' the dancers
develop this conviction too. It
seems as though one body, and not
nine, had danced it."

Is National
Appointee

Reverend Cleo M. McCoy, director of the Chapel at A&T College,
has been recently appointed a
member of the Committee on In-
Service Training for Rural Clergy
by Land-Grant Colleges and Universities.
The appointment comes as a
recognition for services rendered

Institute which has been conducted
at A&T College during the past
eight-years. The program has been
directed by Reverend McCoy.
Besides this appointment, Reverend McCoy is a member of the

WSTC Prexy
Is Speaker
At Vespers
"Life is serious business," an
audience at A&T College was told
last Sunday.
Speaking was Dr. Kenneth R.
Williams, president of Winston-
Salem Teachers College, who delivered the message at the regular
weekly vesper service. The program was held in the Harrison
Auditorium.
"The business of living is a serious matter," he said, "because
just one bad moment in man's life
can ruin it all. . . . for himself
and his loved ones."
He told the audience that one
bad moment in the life of Moses
prevented his leading his people
into the promised land, and one
bad moment in the life of David
sidetracked his aspirations.
"Life is serious business because
it is short .... and like a player
on the stage you have just one performance to play," he said, "and
the one role you play is judged as
good or poor."
He told the students that life is
so short there is no time for mix-
ed-up values, but those who livr
happy lives must think fast and
clearly.
Dr. Williams was introduced by
Mr. L. C. Dowdy, acting president
of A&T College.
