The Gym - 10:00 p.m.
(By the time the mambo music starts the Jets
and sharksare each on their own side of the hall.
At the climax of the dance, Tony and Bernardo's sister,

JUMP (Bernardo is upon them in an icy rage.
Chino, whom Bernardo has brought Maria from Puerto Rico
tomarry, takes her home. Riff wants Bernardo
for"War Council"; they agree to meet in hall an hour at
Doc's drugstore.)
