Miss Amaya’s mar velous stage presence was not up set when someone in the audience called for her to “take it off” while she was interpolating some of the hotter {American songs into her rputine. Shaking her shoulders with simulated rage, Carmen shook her fist in fury at her heck ler and quickly fitted the ' inter ruption into her act. She also imi tated Lily Pons and Greta Garbo in the only comedy of the show. Each dance on the program in creased in tempo as the perform ance progressed, reaching a climax in “Alegrias” and “Fiesta in Se ville,’ scenes reminiscent of Old Spain.- All of the dances on the program were authentic gypsy or Spanish classic and peasant dances. The troupe danced- to traditional music of classic composers, but added their own touch, or “fla menco,” to the program which seemed to bring out the inner Are of the gypsies.
