ballerina Maya Plisetskaya is still threat magnet of the Bolshoi Theatre stage and is determined to con tinue despite severe back ail ment There have been rumors that she is near the end of her ca rcer but she continues with muchreduced dancing schedule putting more and more of her energies into choreography In rare interview her first with an American in 10 years Miss Plisetskaya said You cant just drag out your life Only fate knows how long we will live Known for her powerful will which along with her talent has made her one of the great ballerinas of the century it has been said that when her legs will no longer hold her she will dance on her knees At the moment Miss Pliset skaya appears to have no suc cessor Several names have drawn attention as young ballerinas flash into the spotlight but so far none has the brilliance to take her place BECAME MAIN ROLE Born into ballet family she graduated from the Moscow Ballet School in 1943 and im mediatcly joined the Bolshoi troupe Her first rule now is part of Moscow ballet lore oncof the four young cygnets iii Swan Lake ballet she later was to take over as one of her main vehicles Within two years Miss Pliset skaya had become one of the Baywil lead dancers of the great Rus sian troupe and was soon one of the leading names in ballet She made classic roles her own and recalls that she danc ed Swan Lake for 19 heads of state have always hated Even now work less an anyone But it came easy to me the dancing And my success came from the start She recalls her love of danc ing as young girl when she danced in the streets of Moscow to the music of public radio speakers Sometimes people gathered to watch me but it didnt make any difference to me whether they watched or not just wanted to dance ROOKDALE PARK Areas best

in this film should come as shattering sur prise Miss Field is in virtually every sceneof the film and she turns Norma Rae into credi ble working class heroAa tough and gutsy woman whos suf fered plenty during her 31 years and realizes shes ready to stand up and be counted VICTIM Norma Rae has lost bus band in barroom brawl and played the victim to too many men She spends her days sweating in textile mill where the working conditions are atrociousthe workers sacrifice their health and sani ty for $135 an lhour But Henleyville the small southern town thats held her prisoner all her life is oneindustry town where unions are equated with communism Norma Rae wants to fight back but she doesnt know how to do it All that changes with the ar rival of New York union organizer named Reuben played by Ron Leibman man determined to break the companys stranglehold on its workers Reuben sets up headl quarters in local motel ant slowly convinces the mill workers their only hope of get ting fair break is to form lofty speeches about the evils of capitalism Instead it portrays working people who live and die in the isolation of small southern town victims of system theyve accepted for too long The film takes proud stand in defence of those people and their right to have some say in the forces that shape their lives Finally it dramatizes the reality of thousand Henleyvilles without patronizing the men and women who work so hard for so little reward NEW HEROINE Miss Fields triumph in this film is to make Norma Itae new kind of film heroinera workingclass woman tied to the drudgery of brutalizing job but still able to fight for something she believes in Theres nothing glamorous about Norma Itaeshe makes mistakes the sweats and swears shes stubborn and hot tempcred The point is that Miss Fields makes her real to us Norma Rae may be plain women in jeans and tshirt but theres such grim truth in her face in the way her stub born determination carries her forward that
