...composer and choir master. Cautiously he mentioned the Bahama Negro dancers who appeared in his folk play Rim, Little Chillum! (TIME, March 13). Enthusiastic, Mrs. Guggenheimer suggested that they present a joint program with Tamiris, a wiry New York white girl with a growing reputation for dances based on Negroid themes. As a result, for two nights last week Conductor Hans Lange led the Philharmonic-Symphony through the dusky music of John Powell's overture "In Old Virginia" and the thumping "Bamboula Rhapsodic Dance" of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, while Tamiris and her Bahamans shattered the Stadium's classic...
