- Biography (note)
- The duke of Sacramento (choreography, Eugene Loring; music, Norman Dello Joio) was first performed in New Hope, Pa., in 1942 by Loring's Dance Players company, with costumes by George Bockman. Originally titled Hobo of the hills, it was inspired by animal legends of the American Southwest. Although it was scheduled to be performed during the company's first New York City season in April 1942, it was omitted from the program for unexplained reasons. Bockman, who died in 1979, was a dancer, choreographer, and stage designer. He designed costumes and scenery for the Theatre Dance Company (for which he also choreographed and performed), the Humphrey-Weidman Company, Dance Players, NBC-TV, and other dance and theatrical productions.
