Ballet series ends
By KATHLEEN PAVELKO
Collegian Arts Writer
The final performances this past
weekend of the Pennsylvania Ballet
demonstrated once again the versatility of
this young company. Completing the
summer series of three programs, which
have included both romantic works like
“Les Sylphides” and more modern ex
periments like Harkarvy’s own “Con
timuun,” the Pennsylvania Ballet
presented in the classical mode
Harkarvy’s “Madrigalesco” and in the
modern, Robert Rodham’s “An American
Rhapsody.”
dance review
“Madrigalesco,” which opened the
program, is an elegant ballet suggested by
the various 4 ' paintings of the Italian
Renaissance. The choreography and
costumes evoked the soft colors and music
of those more courtly days. The women’s
high-waisted gowns were especially ap
propriate, a nice touch being the colored
ribbons that swirled beneath the dancers’
gauze skirts. The men’s costumes,
however, looked unfortunately like
football jerseys.
Although the movements of the men’s
corps de ballet were a bit ragged the

'Come Out to Play'

“Come Out to Play,” Alex Comfort
Crown Publishers, N.Y. (1975)
For those of you who have been reading
“The Joy of Sex” behind the covers of Sam
uelson’s “Economics,” here at last is a book
by Alex Comfort even your maiden aunt
Gertrude would admit reading.
Book review
Comfort such a marvelous name for a
sexologist wrote “Come Out to Play” in
Britain in 1961, although the novel has only
recently been published in the United States.
The novel’s original publication date is even
evident from Comfort’s note that “in those
days, explicit sexual matters had to be
written in Sanskrit.” Despite its decorous
tone, “Come'Out to Play” is unmistakably by

audience applauded again and again. The
audience was so responsive Friday night I
wondered if their appreciation was not
somehow being milked by the repeated
curtain calls.
Ballet Master - Robert Rodham
choreographed the most exciting dance of
the evening, “An American Rhapsody.” ' *•
The music could not have been more
American: George Gershwin’s “Three
Preludes” and “Rhapsody in Blue.”
tiershwin, more lhan any other
American composer, put. his finger on
what we Americans are, or think we are. -
His music, both blues'and jazz, evokes our
view of ourselves as sly, sophisticated and
innocent all at once. Rodham’s ballet
brings together our gaudy patriotism and
our way of loving:' Uncle Sam introduces
the innocent lovers, the sailor and his girl,
the moll and the gangster and the
sophisticated couple we idolize in film.
This fantastic assemblage culminates in
an art-deco sequence: a platinum-haired
dream in a splendid art-decodress waltzes
with her elegant partner in tie and tails
across a silver stage in Gershwin’s finale
to “Rhapsody in Blue,” showing what
Radio City Music Hall and America were
like in the great days of the past.
the author of “Joy of Sex”: the protagonist
shows a definite' preference for obscure
Oriental copulatory positions in which th#
woman hangs upside down.
“Come Out to Play” recounts the adven
' Hires of George Goggins, a pioneer sexthera
pist who also experiments personally in his
chosen field. The results of Goggins’ research
are hardly scientific they are merely hilar
ious. • A
Along with, his lover-assistant-personal
therapist Dulcinea, Goggins sets about
improving the sex lives of the wealthy and
upper-caste of Paris and London. This turns
out to be a more difficult task than expected
money will not buy everything, it seems
so Goggins enlists the aid of a chemist who
has developed a perfume-aphrodisiac. ;i
A little of that powerful stuff in the victim’s
soap and even the stiffest upper lips begin to
quiver. When an entire quart of it is let loose,
Comfort’s later effort, “Joy of Sex,” becomes
irrelevant.
Comfort’s gospel Sex is Fun—was never
better preached than in this witty novel.
Alas, there are no pictures.
