Of Folk Dancing
Sponsored by WRA, Albert E.
Haynes, professional folk dancing
teacher, will lead students, facul
ty, and townspeople in early Am
erican dances in Recreation Hall
from 7 to 10 p. m. tomorrow.
As social director of Henry
Ford's Wayside Inn at Sudbury,
Mass., Mr. Haynes is spending the
week at Penn State teaching phy
sical education classes historical
dances.
Tomorrow's program will in
clude the heel and toe polka,

barn dances.
Representatives of WRA activi

Childhood Dancing
Leads Comedian
To Varied Career
When still in teen-age dancing
school, usually dreaded by small
boys, Albert E. Haynes, former
stage and screen star and direc
tor, got his start which has led
him to be known as one of the
leading authorities of folk danc
ing in this country.
At the College this week, Mr.
Haynes is teaching a concentrated
course in early American dancing,
and he will lead folk dancing in
Recreation Hall tomorrow night.
His first trip .to the campus, he has
taught for three Summers at Har
vard University Summer School.
Training at Emerson College of
Oratory in Boston and New Eng
land Conservatory of Music, at 21
Mr. Haynes_ was on the stage, 'dir
ecting and acting. After being
on the professional stage for ten
years, he went to Hollywood, first
as a director and star in Christie
Comedies, and later forming his
own company, Al Haynes' Come
dies.
Returning to the stage, he coach
ed amateurs oh the professional
stage, acted in vaudeville, and di
rected chorus girls in modern rou-
tines. Mr. Haynes did nothing
with folk dancing at this time.
Among his proteges was the later
famous Clara Bow.
Mr. Haynes made it clear that
his comedies were not of the ipie
slinging variety, but situations and
not actors formed the comedy ele
ment.
A friend of Walter Winchell's,
the white haired dancer had a ra
dio column on Hollywood news
two years before his famous col
league began.
In 1932 Mr. Haynes became the
social director of the Wayside Inn
estate at Sudbury, Mass. The Inn,
owned by Henry Ford and recon
structed with period furniture,
was the scene of "Tales of a Way
side. Inn," written by Longfellow.
To keep up the early American
tradition, Ford has eStablished
'folk dancing as a part of the cur
riculum at three schools located on
the estate. :Mr. Haynes is in charge
of the program.
Visiting the Inn at intervals, Mr.
Ford, who, according to Mr.
Haynes, is a fine folk dancer him
self, dances with Mr. Haynes to
that the stateliness of the early
polkas and other dances is con
tinued.
Giving more life to folk dancing
when he teaches at colleges, Mr.
'Haynes uses the technique of his
chorus dirctor days, counting out
the beats without music, and after
students have learned this, adding
music.
