TWO MAORI DANCES
Linda Christian makes her dancing debut in M.-G.-M.'s "Green Doiphin Street," and in unusual fashion. In her role as a Maori girl in the romantic drama of early New Zealand, she performs two native dances which would Nbe called more appropriately Maori games. One is the poi aance and the other the Te Raukau, meaning "The Stick." Recordlngs of authentic Maori chant were sent to Hollywood from New Zealand for the film. Lana Turner, Van Heflin, Donna Reed and Richard Hart head the cast. The film will not be available in New Zealand until towards the middle of next year, if not later.
