In honor of Panorama rehearsal this evening . . .

Primitive Mysteries shows us a community able to walk to a single rhythm without any rythmical cues. Yet during the Great Depression, the group or mass had radical political connotations that Graham did not address until the later [1930s]. Later works such as Panorama transform the tribe into the urban group.
