Fourth Have Your Eyes Examined by Graduate Optometrist DR. FRANK PARDON 210 W. Third St. (At Pardon's Jewelry Store) Carola Gitana, Spanish Dancer, Hero, Violinist, Captivate Large Audience Carola Gitana, celebrated Spanish dancer and mime, made an instantaneous, favorable mipression with her audience at the Senior high school Monday evening with her presentation of the "Seville," a traditional number introductory to a program of Spanish dances in the classic style. This was the second artist number to be presented this season under the auspices of the Owensboro Cooperative Concert association, and enjoyed by the full membership.

The audience was both appreciative and interested in every number on the program. La Gitana was ably assisted by two artists in their own right, Stephan Hero, brilliant young American violinist, and Vadim Hrenoff, who not only rendered sympathetic accompaniments in support of both and violinist, but also dancer, "Triana," by Albeniz, opening the program, and musical interludes won merited applause on his skillful presentations of selections befitting the occasion. Dancer Is Versatile La Gitana, a pupil of Goya, showed pleasing grace and proficiency in the techique of her dances, making good use of casanets, snapping of fingers, and a Spanish style of tap-dancing, as well as an exact feeling for rhythm. She was highly versatile in her presentations and wore numerous richly colorful costumes in the interpretation of her dances, which were dramatically expressive of the changing moods of the various Spanish types. She displayed an artist's understanding of the technique of the dance throughout her colorful program.

Outstanding on the program was the dancer's interpretation of the "Fandanguillo de Ronda," by Aragra, one of the oldest dances of Spain as it was presented in Ronda during the Roman occupation. For this dance she wore long black trousers, cap and shirt, with a red and black scarf for maneuvers. A coy number, typical of the Spanish maiden, opened the closing group in her brilliant program, especially appealing being her Albeniz-Godowsky, during which she used a fluttering fan with fascinating grace. From the fantastic "Malaguena" to the gypsy "La Farruca" from the ballet "El Sombrero de Tres Picos," De Falls, and "Juego de Capa" Bizet, typical of Spain in the arena, she recreated the spirit of Spain in a graceful pattern of rhythm and beauty. Young Violinist Pleased Stephan Hero's violin numbers were selected to fit into the program of the dancer, having largely the Spanish influence.

As encores, he played "Londonderry Air," old English folk song, which greatly pleased the audience and D'Rdla's "Souvea nir." In his rendition of "Caprice, No. 24," Paganini, he exercised a finished and polished technique. Throughout his groups he displayed a rich warm tonal quality, with a clean cut and fine sense of pleasing. Fitting into La Gitana's program, he rendered "Zapateado," by Sarasate, presenting the fiery form of Spanish dance in which the heels of the Help Kidneys Don't Take Drastic Drugs Your Kidneys contain 9 million tiny tubes or lect filters may be endangered by negwhich or drastic, irritating drugs.
