By Grace Word
Disappointed by her first encoun-
ter with Texas weather, the world-
touring Gerniah actress atid dance?,
Senta Cordel, received a warmer
reception from Houstonians when she
performed for them, under the aus-
pices of the German Department of
Rice institute and the German-Texan
Federation of Houston Friday night
at the Houston Public Library.
"I was expecting lovely spring
weather," she explained with the
warm, quick smile which is part of
her charm. But the damp norther
which Wednesday morning greeted
her arrival in Houston on her fourth
American tour had not, apparently,
dampened her spirits or her enthus-
iasm for what she feels to be a
unique art—an art which combines
pantomime, dancing, and dramatic
monologue.
Attempts to Express Character
"It is my aim," Miss Cordel de-
clared, "to express in one scene the
whole character of a person." By
uniting several artistic mediums, she
feels that the character interpreta-
tions become more expressive. "All
arts belong to the theater," she said.
An American by marriage, Miss
Cordel speaks English fluently, with
a piquant trace of accent and many
eloquent gestures. Interviewed Wed-
nesday afternoon in the Warwick
Hotel lobby, she talked enthusiasti-
cally of her art, of her mother, (a
singer who once studied under En-
rico Caruso), ahd of Shakespeare's
Country under the sponsorship of
leading universities from New York
to San Francisco. From Houston she
will go to San Antonio, probably
to Mexico, and eventually to Aus-
tralia.
Opening hWi' program Friday night
with dramatic character studies of
women in world literature, she gave
her interpretation of Kriemhild (fam-
ous in German mythblpgyj, of Jeanne
d'Arc (in French) and (in English)
Lady Macbeth. After a dance suite
inspired by two porcelain figures
"from an old corner cupboard." fol-
lowed by two Herman historical min-
iatures, she presented "Walpurgis
Night," taking the part of an old
witch who drinks a youthfying po-
tion. Her final number was a phan-
tasie on themes from the opera "Car-
men."
in a solution to a problem we had a
few weeks about horses eating bush-
els of oats by days. This guy claimed
We were wfong about the answel* we
submitted, and he demonstrated an-
other answer he got. The only diffi-
culty is that in unstacking a quad-
ruple-decked fraction he got the
decks mixed. I still insist our answer
is right. : ,' ;i^1:;
