middle of our column where he
thought no one would notice the
ommission. He was almost
right!
However, this same copy boy, a
veteran, got the
shock of his life
last week. Sent
out to buy some
cans of dog food,
he came upon a
new brand called
"Cannlne De-
1 i g h t." So our
copy boy, always
ready to try
Aomething new, purchased a couple
of cans resplendent with their gau-
dy labels extolling the extra added
vitamins of "Cannine Delight."
Reaching home he prepared to open
a can for Fido's evening meal. It
was then he got his shock. For sten-
ciled on the can under the "Cannine
Delight" label were the words: "U.
S. Army Field Ration, Type 'C',
Meat and Vegetable Hash"!!!

THIS WEEK'S orchids go to the
OWLS pledges for their snap-
py rendition of "Hey, Mom I wan-
na (ro home" at the all school pic-
nic last Saturday. Finishing their
song, they decided that since "The
males are overrunning the place...
(iee, Mom, I don't wanna go home."
Also at the picnic the PALS had
their pledges, complete with tele-
phone numbers around their necks,
singing "We're so refined" and
rhyming "court" with "Sallyport."

LAST WEEK we had no intention of sounding like Gertrude
Stein. After a week's search of trying to find the cause, of
the ommission of a paragraph and a half of our deathless prose,
we came to the following conclusion—the copy boy, needing a
paper weight to hold down his crossword puzzle, took a para-
graph or so of lead from the

SPECTER OF the Rose," another
in the Delman theater's prac-
tice of bringing novel and different
shows to Houston, is one of the
most remarkable pictures we have
ever seen. Written, produced and
directed by Ben Hecht, "Specter"
is bused upon two themes—the bal-
let "Spectre de la Rose" and the
insanity of Nijinsky, greatest name
in ballet.
The ballet "Spectre," based upon
Weber's music "Invitation to the
Dance," deals with a sweet young
tiling coming home from her first
ball carrying a rose. Falling asleep,
she dreams that the rose comes to
life, whirls her madly around the
room and exits with a "gran jete"
through the window.
Nijinsky, who was last heard of
in an insane asylum in Vienna, suf-
fers from a type of madness prob-
ably incurred at having to dance to
some of Stravinski's modern music.
Incidentally, Nijinsky was the only
dancer who could do ten "entre-
chats"—the equivalent of jumping
up and clicking one's heels ten
times.
Briefly, the plot of the picture
"Specter" centers on the relation-
ship of Andee Sanine (played by
newcomer Ivan Kirov) and Haidi
(another newcomer—Viola Essen).
It is climaxed when Sanine com-
pletely crazy, is taken to an obscure
hotel and cared for by Haidi. After
Haidi finally succumbs to exhaus-
tion, Sanine wakes up and believes
that he is dancing the part of the
"Spectre." While performing a su-
perb dance, Sanine still believing
himself to be the "Spectre" executes
his final leap and crashes through
the hotel window into the street be-
low.
Hecht's dialogue is excellent.
Samples—ANDRE: "I'd like to pick
you up right now and hold you until
you were tattooed on me . . . You've
got wonderful knees, Haidi. Most
girls' knees look like plumbers' fit-
tings!"
The acting of Kirov and Viola
Essen, however, leaves a little lack-
ing. But that is overcome by Ki-
rov's excellent ballet, and by the
polished performance of Judith An-
derson and Michael Chekhov. "Spec-
ter of the Rose" is truly a remark-
able Hollywood effort—we plan to
see the picture again. ty.
