Loomis has been able to secure
Harold Kreutzberg and his partner
Yvonne Georgi, sensational ex-
pressionistic dances of the mod-

have bemoaned the fact that ex-
ponents, good &r bad, of the in-

#be in the capable hands of such well-
known artists as Kreutzberg and
Georgi is nothing short of a happy
miracle.
