Contents
CONTENTS: Cassette 45 (approx. 18 min.): Reception. Page is seen with her hosts (including an unidentified "Ravinia spokesman" who gives her a few facts about the festival's history) and fellow guests, among whom are her husband André Delfau, the sitarist Ravi Shankar, and Chicago dance critics Ann Barzel and Dorothy Samachson. Only a few snatches of conversation are intelligible against a high level of background noise. -- Cassette 46 (approx. 13 min.): After-dinner speeches. Barzel cites Page's contributions to dance in Chicago, particularly her work at Ravinia, which included ballets in operas and the ballet Cinderella. Edward Gordon, executive director of the Ravinia Festival, announces the inauguration of an annual Ruth Page Week of Ballet, to which Page replies with a brief speech.
