Foremost among those reasons is the achievement of one\nwoman-Martha Graham. In April, 1926, in a Broadway theatre not far from this one Martha Graham and a\ntrio of dancers gave the first performance of what was to become the Martha Graham Dance Company. Now in\nits fiftieth year, the Martha Graham Dance Company is one-quarter as old as the Republic, and tonight's\nperformance initiates a year-long celebration of that golden anniversary.\nTonight is historic for the collaboration of three of the greatest artists that the dance has ever known-\nMartha Graham as choreographer and Dame Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev as dancers. Their collaboration\nin \"Lucifer,\" Miss Graham's 149th work (the largest repertoire by a single choreographer in the history of\ndance), illuminates the world of the theatre and brings together modern dance and ballet in a fashion hitherto\nunmatched. As Miss Graham told the press earlier this spring, \"The war is over.\"\nFinally, the night is historic because of the generosity of those of you who are here. As we go to press we\nhave every reason to believe that the income for this single performance may be the greatest ever raised for\ndance on a single night. For years Martha Graham and her company have stinted for their art, and that sacrifice\nhas produced one of the glories of the Western World-the Theatre of Martha Graham, a unique and passionate\ntheatrical experience unlike any other in history.\nTo receive tonight your appreciation, shown through your contributions and your concern, is overwhelming\nand gratifying. The Board of Trustees of the Martha Graham Center for Contemporary Dance is most grateful.\nFor all of us and especially from Martha herself-thank you.\nFrancis Mason\nChairman, Board of Trustees\nMartha Graham Center for Contemporary Dance\nTHE NATIONAL COUNCIL\nIn the past 50 years at her busy school in New York, Martha Graham has trained thousands of\nyoung dancers. In the tours she and her company have made across the country and around the\nworld, she has found many admirers. To gather together these persons, we have established the\nMartha Graham National Council, a membership organization of all who are concerned for Martha\nGraham's work and its future.\nWe take pleasure in making you, our generous supporters this evening, charter members of\nthe National Council.\nFORD R.

FORD\nMartha Graham Dance Company I 50th Anniversary Celebration\nMARTHA GRAHAM\n\"She is my very, very favorite person, one of the outstanding women\nof the world. She was my teacher, and she helped shape my life. She\ngave me the ability to stand up to all the things I have had to go\nthrough, with much more courage than I would ever have had without\nher.\" These were the words that First Lady Betty Ford used recently to\ndescribe Martha Graham, and in so doing she summed up the feelings\nof thousands of people around the world. Martha Graham as a teacher,\nchoreographer and dancer has touched the lives of countless\nindividuals in a telling way. A case in point: One late night in Kyoto,\nJapan, after a long performance and reception at the conclusion of a\ngrueling 30,000 mile U.S. State Department tour of Asia, Miss Graham\ncalled the new company manager to her room to settle some financial\nbusiness with her (even living legends must pay their hotel bills). The\nroom was cold, and Miss Graham was bundled up in bed. She\nmotioned the man to sit on the edge of the bed. She took his hand,\nlooked him straight in the eye and said, \"I have respect for you. You've\ncome all the way out here and done a job that wasn't really yours.\nI am grateful to you.\" What that meant to the manager is hard to put in\nwords, but his first thought was, throw away the degree from Yale,\nand in its place put: \"I respect you-Martha Graham.\"\nMARGOT FONTEYN\n\"She sits there with her spine very straight, her trim, beautifully\nproportioned body covered with a printed shirt and plain full skirt, and\nher thin, soft black hair smoothed neatly on top of her head over her\nsoft demure, surprised-looking face. You can't imagine her slouching\nor sprawling or fidgeting, her gestures are clear and unaffected but\nvery contained. Definitely a lady-she makes my prose want to tie its\nlaces and dust itself off-and a sport.\" With that, Deborah Jowitt\nintroduced Dame Margot Fonteyn to the readers of last week's Village\nVoice. A remarkable number of adjectives for a remarkable dancer.\nNot long ago Dame Margot telephoned a zealous press agent about\nher biography for a souvenir book wherein he had described her as the\nworld's prima ballerina assoluta. \"Could we take out the 'assoluta?'\nI think that's a bit much, don't you? After all, prima ballerina is rather\nenough. I've never really liked all that Italian anyway.\" This was\nfollowed with a laugh of such glee that it could only be called jolly.\nThe press agent disagreed strongly, however, in spite of the charming\nlaugh, and only with great reluctance and a plan in the back of his mind\nto reinstate the word 'assoluta,' did he delete it. But after thinking\nabout the matter a while, he realized that it did not matter whether he\nput the full phrase in or not. Even if it is not said in so many words,\neveryone knows Dame Margot is the world's prima ballerina assoluta,\nexcept, apparently, Dame Margot. The press agent decided she\nshould be told.\nRUDOLF NUREYEV\nLast Sunday in Newsday Bob Micklin wrote, \"Not long ago Martha\nGraham was asked to describe her new Lucifer. In doing so, she also\ndescribed Nureyev. She said her Lucifer was not Satan, but rather the\ngod of light. 'Any great artist,' she added, 'is a bringer of light, and\nRudolf is a god of light.' Mr. Micklin concluded, \"Who could ask for\na better tribute?\" Rudolf Nureyev is the most widely-known dancer in\nhistory and, as Mr. Micklin pointed out, \"he has become the symbol of\nthe public acceptance of dance.\" It may be that the public has\nforgotten that the symbol is also a man. About a year ago, a young\ntheatre manager waited somewhat apprehensively in the lobby of a\nBroadway Theatre for Nureyev to arrive for a modern-dance company's\nperformance. He held Nureyev's complimentary ticket in his hand.\nNureyev was a few minutes late, though the curtain had not yet gone\nup. A bit breathless, he apologized for being late, and then asked,\n\"Who do I pay for my ticket?\" No doubt Mr. Nureyev could well have\nafforded to pay for his ticket, but the manager was surprised that he\noffered to do so. Generosity, it seems, is not particularly associated\nwith living symbols. The manager found this brief glimpse of the man\nbehind the symbol reassuring and resolved to tell people about it when\nhe got the chance.\nA\nJune 19, 1975, 8:00 p.m.\nMARTHA\nUris Theatre\nCHARHAM\nNew York\nIn the presence of Mrs. Gerald R.

In 1955, when the Graham Company was performing\nin the Philippines under the auspices of the U.S. Department of State,\nMiss Graham visited a newly built, round chapel and admired its\narchitecture greatly. A few years later, when she was again in the\nPhilippines, she happened to mention the chapel to a young man that\nshe was talking to at a party. \"I told him that I had always meant to\nfind out the architect's name,\" said Miss Graham recently. \"And I asked\nhim if he knew it. 'Yes, I do,' he said. 'I'm the architect.' Today,\nLeandro Locsin is the Philippines' leading architect and when the\nGraham Company performed in Manila last fall, again on a State\nDepartment tour, it appeared in the cultural center designed by Mr.\nLocsin. Miss Graham, who, as they say, knows from theatres, grows\nabsolutely rhapsodic at the memory of her company playing in Mr.\nLocsin's theatre. \"This is a theatre-everything!\" she exclaims. For his\npart, Mr. Locsin remembers with feeling the day in 1970 when he first\nshowed Miss Graham around the newly opened theatre. \"She told the\npress,\" he said \"that it was the only thing that she had seen on her\ntrip that was worthwhile. I was, of course, very touched by this.\" Miss\nGraham is also obviously touched by Mr. Locsin and his work. When\nshe returned from the scenic studio last week after having inspected\nthe set, which was just constructed, she practically did a jig in the\ngeneral manager's office. \"Martha's ecstatic over the set,\" came the\nword. \"She's so excited, she's like a child with a new toy.\" As we know,\nMiss Graham does very well by her \"toys\" on stage. As Mr. Locsin put\nit after seeing the set on the Uris stage on Tuesday, \"She knows how to\nget each person to do just that special thing that she requires.\"\nHALSTON\n\"If I can't do something for Martha Graham to show my gratitude to\nher then, really, I ought to quit.\" So saying, Halston, invited Martha\nGraham to his East Side salon last January and dressed her in the now\nfamous natural wool caftan, which she wore to present the Capezio\nAward to Robert Irving a few days later. \"I love clothes, and I love his,\nbecause they are so elegant, and they are comfortable,\" says Miss\nGraham. As he has with the fashion industry in America, Halston has\nconquered Martha Graham. Rarely, these days, do you see her in\nanything other than Halston caftans, including her gown this evening.\nFORD i LIBRARY GERALD\n(Halston also designed the First Lady's gown for tonight.) And each\ntime you see Miss Graham, she looks so right, so comfortable that-\nman or woman-you envy her those dresses and want to steal them and\nall their soft security away. Recently, one who is uninitiated in the\nrigors of Seventh Avenue, was amazed to find that Halston, in the space\nof a few days, had not only designed the fifteen dazzling costumes for\nLucifer-his first stage designs ever-he had presented two different\nfashion collections plus his first fur collection literally in between\nfittings for Rudolf Nureyev and Dame Margot Fonteyn. On Monday\nnight, as a harried press agent pulled together the last notes for this\nprogram, Halston arrived at the Graham School, sat down opposite the\npress agent and said, \"Call Martha. I've got a car here. It's raining, and\nI'll send it for her. And, by the way, I got that $5,000 [contribution] for\nyou and 1400 bottles of perfume [Halston's own and worth about\n$28,000].

The retail value of the costumes is estimated\nby Halston at approximately $250,000 including considerations for designing fees\nas well as retail value of the metals and stones. According to Halston the whole-\nsale value of the platinum alone is worth $30,000, and he has used significant\namounts of gold and silver as well as 24 carats of rubies and a paltry 8 carats\nof diamonds. Significantly, all the materials have been donated as has Halston's\ntime in fashioning them. The contributors include Baumgold Brothers, Precious\nStone Corporation, the Platimum Imformation Bureau/USA, Whiting and Davis and\nthe Diamond Information Center. Halston also designed both Mrs. Ford's and Miss\nGraham's gowns for the occasion.\nThe glitter in the cash register is quite pessibly the most money ever raised\nfor dance on a single evening==$200,000 (estimated). The tickets ranged in price\nfrom $50 for a balcony seat to $10,000 for a seat in Row C in which Mrs. Ford\nwill sit although she herself bought a $125 ticket--the price paid by the major-\nity of ticket holders.

FOR\nNOTE ON MRS, FORD AND MISS GRAHAM: Prior to her marriage to Gerald Ford, Betty\nFord studied and danced with Martha Graham in the late 30's and early '40's in\nNew York. On at least two occasions, Mrs. Ford (Betty Bloomer) actually danced\nwith the Graham Company including a 1938 performance in Miss Graham's \"American\nDocument\" in Carnegie Hall. Last week, the 81 year-old Miss Graham received Mrs.\nFord at the Graham School on East 63 Street in New York. It was the first time\nthe two had met, though there had been recent phone calls, since the early '40's.\nA moment of high emotion for both women as well as many of the press and friends\nassembled in the main studio of the School, Mrs. Ford and Miss Graham each spoke\nglowingly of each other and watched a brief rehearsal of a part of \"Lucifer.\"\nBefore leaving Mrs. Ford paid $125 by check for her ticket for the benefit.\n# # #\nFor last minute ticket information, call the Uris box office (212) 586-6510.\nJUNE19\nJune 19, 1975\nFROM: TOM KERRIGAN\nOne Montague Terrace\nBreeklyn, N.Y. 11201\n(212) 643-1249\nIT'SAN\nFACT SHEET\nHSTORIC\nNORAN NIGHT\nThe purpose of tonight's performance by the\nMartha Graham Dance Company with Dame Marget Fonteyn\nand Rudolf Nureyev is to raise funds for the non-\nprofit Martha Graham Center for Comtemperary Dance,\nInc. Specifically, a deficit of $75,000, which has\nDANCE\nbeen carried by the company for one year, had to be\nirradicated, (The Martha Graham Center operates\nboth the Martha Graham Company and School.)\nMARTHA\nMartha Graham, herself, fought the idea of\nthe benefit until just a few weeks ago. In fact,\nGRANAMA\nthis is the first benefit performance Miss Graham\nhas allowed for her company since its beginnings\nFORD 2. LIBRARY GERATO\nMARGOT\nin 1926.\n\"I hated to admit,\" she said in a recent inter-\nview with the Associated Press' Mary Campbell, \"we\nFONTEYN NUREVEV\ncouldn't make money in a more natural way. I didn't\nwant it to be regarded as a publicity stunt. I don't\nbelieve in bankruptcy. You owe the workman and other\npeople; they have a right to be paid. I think its\na betrayal of trust not to. I am not fighting the\nbenefit now. To have people stand with me as much\nas they have--it has been very warm and very meving.\"\nMORE\nMARTHA GRAHAM FACT SHEET/page two\nThe tickets for the performance tonight were priced from $50 to $10,000.\nThe purpose behind the categories from $500-$10,000 was to provide a venue\nfor those who wished to come forward and make gifts to the company in these\namounts. The idea that these funds were expended by the patrons for tickets,\nper say, is erroneous. The question posed by the Graham management when\nthe benefit was planned was: how do we let people know that we need sigmifi-\ncant funds contributed as major gifts.\nThe solution was to create the following categories of contributions\nin which tickets were available: Founder's Rew-$10,000; Benefacter's\nRew-$5,000; Donor's Rew-$1,000; Patron's Rew--$500; Centributers--$125;\nAsseciates--$75; $50--Friends. All but $10 in each category was tax-deducti-\nble. A small number of tickets at $25 each were reserved for students at\nthe Graham School.\nRemarkably enough, the idea worked. As of 6:00 p.m. today (19) funds\nin the amount of $196, 151 had been raised. This is believed to be the largest\namount of money ever raised at a single performance in a theatre in the history\nof dance. (By comparison, the New York City Ballet raised $140,000 for a\nbenefit performance at the State Theatre recently where the seating capacity\nis 2700 seats. The highest gress for abenefit at the Metropolitan Opera (4000\nseats) is $422,000. On this occasion the Uris Theatre has 1874 seats.\nThe Graham Company, in addition to gifts of cash, received a goodly\nFORD R. GERALD LIBRARY\nmumber of services and materials, which were donated. Most spectacularly,\nof course, are the materials used in the Halsten-designed cosutmes. The\nretail worth of these costumes is placed by Halston at approximately $250,000,\nand the cotumes are now owned in toto by the Graham Company. It is intended\nthat duplicate costume-will be made to replace the originals, which will be\nauctioned off next spring for the benefit of the company and school.\n# # #\nFROM: TOM KERRIGAN\nOne Montague Terrace\nBrooklyn, N.Y. 11201\n(212) 643-1249 or 832-9166\nBETTY FORD AND MARTHA GRAHAM: BACKGROUND\nMartha Graham is 81. She is generally considered to be the world's\nmost important and influential modern-dance choreographer, and it is frequently\nthough inaccurately, said of her that she \"founded\" modern dance. In reality\nMartha Graham was one of several seminal artists in modern dance including\nDoris Humphrey, Charles Weidman, Hanya Holm and Heln Tamiris. Miss Graham's\ncontribution is, however, significant on two important counts: one, she\ncodified modern-dance movement into a vocabulary of standardized technique--\na technique which finds a parallel in classical ballet, and two, she has\ncreated a vast body of works from 1926 to the present which number 149. It\nis thought that this is the largest repertoire ever created by a single\nchoreographer in the history of dance and is certainly the largest repertoire\nof any living choreographer. In her influence on her chosen art and the scope\nof her work, she is often compared to Picasso in art and Stravinsky in music.\nThe Martha Graham Dance Company is the oldest dance company in America\nand the oldest modern-dance company in the world. It was founded in 1926\nby Martha Graham along with three other dancers who gave one performance for\na few hundred people in the 48th Street Theatre on Broadway. Now in its\nFORD R. GERALD LIBRARY\nfiftieth year, the company enjoys world-wide acclaim having toured extensive-\nly for the U.S. State Deaprtment and under its own auspices including a re-\ncent fall, 1974, tour of Asia which logged 30,000 miles and included Saigon--\nthe only American dance company to ever perform there.\nMORE\nFACT SHEET\nBetty Ford's association with Martha Graham occured in the late '30's\nand early '40's in New York. The records of the Graham School are imprecise\nas to exact dates, but it is clear that Mrs. Ford, then Elizabeth Bloomer,\nappeared with the Graham Company in Carnegie Hall and at the Alvin Theatre\nin the fall and winter of 1938. The playbills for those performances are\nextant and show that Mrs. Ford, though not a member of the company proper,\nwas one of nine women billed as \"Assistant Dance Group.\" The work she danced\nin was \"American Document,\" and she may have also appeared in another Graham\nwork, \"Primitive Mysteries.\"\nIn order to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Martha Grahm Dance\nCompany properly, the Board of Trustees of the Martha Graham Center for Con-\ntemporary Dance, Inc., formed a 50th Anniversary Committee which is planning\nvarious events through out 1975-76. The Trustees asked Mrs. Ford to become\nHonorary Chairman of the Committee, which she accepted. Mrs. Aristotle\nOnassis and Miss Alice Tully are the Honorary Vice Chairmen. Mrs. Marvin\nTraub, whose husband is President of Bloomingdale's in New York, is the Chair-\nmen of the Committee, and Mr. Francis S. Mason, Jr., is the Chairman of the\nTrustees.\nThe first event in the year-long celebration is a benefit performance\non June 19 at the Uris Theatre in New York for which Miss Graham has created\na new ballet for Dame Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev. It is the first time\nthat the three artists have worked together. Tickets for the benefit are\npriced from $50-125 with special contribution categories from $500-$10,000.\nTo date the receipts for the evening total more than $140,000, and it is likely\nthat the total raised on June 19 will be the largest amount of money raised\non a single night in the history of dance.\n# # #\nSheila\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nURIS THEATRE SEATING\nListed are some of the people who will occupy seats on the\naisle who will be on your right as you proceed to your seat.\nL Martha Duffey, Senior Editor, Time\nJ Danny Kaye\nG\nSteve McQueen, Ali McGraw\nF Leonardo, Locsin, Phillipine Architect who designed Lucifer set\nE Halston, pic Earl Wilson\nD 102-Mrs. Marvin Traub-Chairman of event, former Graham student\n103-Marvin Traub-President of Bloomingdale's\nC 101-Mrs. Ford\n102-Woody Allen Pic sent\n103-Diane Keaton Pic sent\n104-Francis Mason\n105-Mason guest\n106-Mason guest\n107-Bethsabee de Rothschild\n108-Jeanette Ordman\nOn your left as you come down the aisle will be the major dance\ncritics covering the evening.
