Dancer , Pianist Please Esthetes Maud Allan and Etienne Amyot in Recital BY ISABEL MORSE JONES Felicitous music and dancing for the Redlands Prosellis was pre sconted Friday night by Maud Allan and the voung European pianist , Etienne Amyou . Of all the places best suited to esthetic dancing , of which Maud Allan has long , kun the leading exponent , none could be more perfect in its appropriate ness than this Redlands amphi theater with its simple Greek col umns , its trees and its eager au dience of C00 . The program con sisted of a Brahms group expres sively played by M. Amyot , the dancing of Miss Allan to the music of Chopin and Handel and the Schumann Etudes Symphonique by the pianist . VARIATIONS RARE The widely varied Brahms num bers began with the Edward Bal lade , continued without break through the F sharp minor Capric cio and the B minor Rhapsody and ended with Variations on an Orien tal theme , which are so rare that they are not listed in Grove's dic tionary . With these , Amyot estab lished himself as a distinguished classicist . His Brahms was filled with understanding of the romantic , emotional side of the master . It was more than adequate technical ly and in impeccable taste musical ly . The moods of the Schumann Etudes were realized with beauty and restraint . Miss Allan's performance in chif fon draperies with the aid of fine lighting and to the music of Chopin's C minor Prelude , Nocturne in E and the Scherzo and " Funeral March " from the sonata , had something super - earthly about it . SORROW AFFECTING It was a vindication of the spirit . Time's spaciousness has been added to the art of Maud Allan . There is no change in her realization of the ideal . In the " Funeral March , " probably the most impressive of the Chopin numbers , she made the dark gloom of the underworld real . It had majestic sentiment . Its sorrow was infinitely touching . The Suite in G minor by Handel , " interpreted in movement romantic and classic , " was a remarkable col laboration between two splendid musicians , Miss Allan and Amyot . Miss Allan danced it ligini - iootea ly and with exuberance . It was a performance a yourg girl would have Lanvied , but few could s0 detar mselves from the physical ion and give Haidan en beauty .
