...Tree Day ballet, for example. It was titled "Gift of the Nile" which (the president also explained) is the allegorical name for Egypt. The dancers, who were leg make-up on their faces and held their elbows at right angles, managed to look quite Egyptian; their story involved a princess who had to choose between three suitors.

Doretta Morrow and Dorothy Sarnoff are both impressive performers and singers, and they are both probably quite beautiful, underneath their Oriental make-up. The rest of the adult east is also sprightly and entertaining...
