Movie Review
The Loves Of Isadora
One of the most
scandalized and tragic lives
ever to be depicted on the
screen is vividly and superbly
or a by he a
Vanessa Redgrave.
Isadora Duncan was not only
a superb dancer. She was a
product of her time: an in
vi a of a
change revolutionary trends
and above all fate itself.
In this film her erratic often
sordid life of the late 19th and
early 20th Century is portrayed
in a series of flashbacks while
she aged and worn by the pro
cess of time dictates her
memoirs to her secretary. The
film focuses on her life as a
revolutionary dancer refusing
to conform to the conventions
of her society (die refused to
wear any type of undergarment
beneath her flimsy dancing cos
tumes which always served to
accentuate the graceful curves
of her body).
We see her dedication to art
truth and beauty which in her
opinion were the only things of
value in life: the kind of life
which offers a person the
greatest amount of freedom. A
catalyst in revolutionary trends
he in to in a
a a
to art truth and beauty—Jean
Brodie who was also dedicated
to the liberation of the human
spirit.
In a sequence of vignettes
this production traces her early
life her stormy marriages one
to a famous Russian poet which
introduced her to a world of
despair and alcoholism and her
dedication to the establishment

colorful of schools of dance in Paris
and Russia.
Perhaps one of the most
classic sequences is her account
of tragic and premature
deaths of her two children both
drowned in an automobile ac
cident. With painful and tragic
honesty she writes of this event
with all of the helplessness of
her tragic state.
It would be a miscarriage
of justice to say that Vanessa
Redgrave is simply brilliant in
the role. She is more than this.
She becomes Isadora herself. It
is her illuminating searing
or an if
entire film.
Her graceful captivating dan
cing is a joy to behold. She
moves with the precision and
controlled grace of a swan
gliding across a placid lake.
The film is somewhat
performances ever created on
film. Her timing facial gestures
and diction as she moves from
youth to the ravages of old age
are exquisitely conceived.
The film is itself somewhat
is in an iv
appearence of being sloppily
as is is
assuredly due to the cutting
which was done after it was
decided that the length of the
film would tend to make it
tedious to audiences. It was
originally more than three hours
long.
The supporting performances
should be mentioned as a mere
formality. Jason Robards is
adequate in his role as Singer
of the famed sewing machine
family who is the second hus
band of this tragic lady. At
times he appears to overact but
again he serves his purpose.
Ivan Tchenko is forceful and
well cast relishing his role as
the alcoholic Russian poet
sliding into the well of degrada
tion.
But again one must look to
Miss Redgrave who provides
the unity and style to the film.
She manipulates the film as one
turns the dial of a kaleidoscope
moving the disjointed but col
orful shapes into a cohesive
if a
harmonious work of art.

What do Dionne Warwick the
Isley Brothers Sly and The
Family Stones and The Rascals
have in common? Besides being
popular singers or rock groups
all have been backed up by
2nd Armd. Div. trumpet
player Sp4 David Negri.
Before entering the Army
Negri was involved with his own
rock and roll group "L.I.F.E."
(Love Is For Everyone). That
group was frequently called
upon to assist or back up tour
ing singers and personalities.
A native of New Britain
Conn. Negri and his musician
friends performed with other
groups in Washington C.
Trenton N.J. Poughkeepsie
N. Y. and Hartford Conn. The
group is presently signed with
Atlantic Records for future
recordings.
"Before I came into the
Army I did some studio work
with A & Studios which is
part of Atlantic Records" Negri
said. "And when I am home
on leave I record with my
group at the studio. We have
a release going out this month."
Negri's musical career began
when he was eight. While
visiting a cousin who owned a
trumpet Negri was instructed
not to touch the prized in
strument. He did and has been
playing ever since.
Since an early age Negri has
played in school bands and now
the 2nd Armored Division Band.
His father nixed his playing
outside concerts when he was
14 but he later performed with
the Hartford Symphony and the
New Britain Sy on
orchestras.
While in junior and senior
high school Negri performed in
the Connecticut All-State band
which comprised the best musi
cians in the state. In the ninth
grade he played first chair
orchestra at the All-State an
especially high honor.
Negri's Trumpet Backed
Popular Singers Groups
The trumpet player noted that
classical music was difficult to
play but he feels that rock and
roll music is "getting harder
since the arrangements are
more elaborate." Negri said the
trumpet invariably plays the
or if a a
regardless the type of music.
One trait of many trumpet
players is the infamous hairy
lip. Does the mustache really
assist the horn player?
'I think it's psychological"
Negri grinned. "But I've always
had one."
Negri considers breath control
exercises absolutely essential to
the trumpet player. He prac
tices breathing from the ab
domen—daily.
More important is daily prac
tice with his in men t.
W it pa re a in
Negri regularly practiced four
Lours each day which he
believes has helped him in later
years.
Negri sticks with his horn
because he loves the instrument.
The Army recognized his talent
and he was sent to the Naval
School of Music in Norfolk Va.
Nov. 1967. He first played with
the 392nd Army Band at Ft
Lee Va. He came to the 2nd
Armd. Div. Band in January
1969.
He enjoys working with the
Army band and in addition
to is re a a
responsibilities he is in a
combo "Sound' Investment"
and a nine-piece rock band at
Ft. Hood "Project Sound."
Negri also contributes to the
2nd Armd. Div Dance Band
which frequently plays at the
at 6^0? Adams*Iemple
