...aspiring Olympic gymnast when he turned to ballet in 1932, is one of the world's greatest male classical dancers. Last week he also leaped into a dramatic role: Stanley Kowalski, in Valerie Bettis' version of A Streetcar Named Desire. Dancer Youskevitch happily strutted his muscular way through the gloomy scenes, less expressive but considerably more agile than the dramatic version's Marlon Brando. ¶ Dancer-of-all-work John Kriza, 35, turned up in perhaps his most popular part, the cockiest sailor in Fancy Free, which had the audience giggling merrily, and as the lovelorn doll...

Vivian was 15 when she was stricken with what doctors believed to be muscular dystropny-a progressive wasting away of muscle power for which neither cause nor cure is known. She had gradually become disabled, spent her last two months in San Joaquin General Hospital. When Vivian the first ominous stiffening in her ankles, followed by weakness and loss of balance, one sister had already died. She lived to see another sister...
