This is the opinion of Giora Manor, program director of the First International Seminar on the Bible in Dance which was held in Jerusalem in August. The seminar is sponsored by the Israel Center of the International Theater In- stitute (ITI), an organiza- tion of world theaters; the Israel Festival, an annual program of theater, dance and music programs held during the summer; and the Dance Library of Israel. Manor, who came to Is- rael in 1939 from Czechos- lovakia, is a member of Kibutz Mishmar Haemek (located in the lovely Valley of Jezreel, 19 miles south- east of Haifa).

He came to Israel in 1965 from South Africa and is gen- eral manager of the Bat Dor Dance Company. He is on the world executive of the International The- ater Institute and is chairman of the dance section. Manor said that for many years Swersky thought about organizing an inter- national conference on dance, in Israel. A few years ago the two of them dis- cussed the idea and Manor went home to do some re- search. "Suddenly I hit upon the idea of the Bible. In one evening I had more than 200 titles of works on bibli- cal themes. "Except for Greek mythology," he continues, "no dramaturgical subject in ballet and modern dance provides such comparison of choreographers at different periods as the Bible." So representatives from Death Sentence for Collaborator NEW YORK — The Communist Party daily Pravda reports that An- tonina Makrova, who was called "Machine-gun To- nya" during World War II while she worked as a Nazi executioner, has been sen- tenced to death by a Soviet appeals court. A Soviet citizen, Mrs. Makrova volunteered for the executioner's role in re- turn for favors from the Nazis. She shot groups of prisoners with a machine- gun. When the Nazis re- treated they left her behind. When found by the Soviet army she posed as a pris- oner, soon married and moved to Blyeorussia. • • • Choose from these nationally known brands of quality and designs. 20% OFF • levelor 1" blinds •Graber verticals •Macrame vertical blinds by Blinds and Designs •Select Woven Woodsy • Decorator Shades Joanna Western Woven Woods & Custom Shutters WE HAVE IT ALL "Large shades our speciality" . . . shades and blinds cleaned and repaired.
