Miss Dunham's Dances May Not Be Sexy, but they Are Erotic Katherine Dunham becomes annoyed, they say, when people call her "sexy." Wei, Just to please her, I won say they're sexy, but she will have to admit that they certainly are erotic, especially that "Ritual of Fertility," one of the new dances that has just been added to the pro- gram at the Broadway Theater.j-'L'Ag'Ya." the one about the where the Dunham trou anl two lovers; "Bata- The story, by Alcorn, is of a Germany last year, and is the youngster In the Indiana State Boys School, paralleling his only German film to have been sex cases, undergoing "reform" at the hands of a martinet of own boyhood life.

awarded a first prize at the and offering marriage. At the end, in an effort to accomplish something besides a happy ending for Miss Peters' romance, the film has the tough head-mistress admitting that severity hasn't been too successful In reforming the girls, and agreeing to give gentler methods of the assistant a whirl. Whether or not the film gives a realistic picture of a German reformatory, it tends to over-realism in regard to the cast. Except for Miss Peters, none of the actresses are glamourized, even slightly. Gabriele Hessmann is terrifying as the head mistress, Ruth Haus-meister scarcely less so as the gentle assistant The men come off much better.

Richard Hauss-ler is attractive as the art dealer, and Ralph Lothar is pitcuresque as the phony artist. T.lrti Behlnel Owanu fllM. die 191?

With the exception of "Five Movements," although it's been tightened up and Improved since opening night, the others are in the best Dunham vein. If a masterpiece is something you can see repeatedly and always enjoy it equally as much, "Flaming Youth" is a masterpiece. There've been a number of Broadway shows lately. "Lend an Ear" and "Touch and flo" among them, that have kidded the Twenties.

"Ritual of Fertility." by itself, generates enough high-voltage well, eroticism, to powerhouse a big Broadway musical with dozens of undraped beauties. And the rest of her dances, it should be reported, aren't exactly concerned with the International situation, either.

Anybody looking for a new design for reforming girls will have to look further than this film. From where we sit it is difficult to tell, whether or not the picture reflects present day procedure In German reform schools or even whether the film was made with any such intention.
