WAR OVER AERIAL BAllETs.
Palmer and Roster & Bal at Odds
Over This Latest Sensation.
Yvette Guilbert's Eye to Business
Stage News and Notes.

1t looks very much as though the lit

CATION. between Manager A. NJ Palmer
and Messrs. Roster & Bal, at the time
OF the production of kilanyis living
pictures, would be duplicated with the
latest sensation-the aerial ballet. When
Mr.. Palmer returned from Europe few
days ago he announced that he had Sc
cured the aerial ballet for Introduction
into Little Christopher Columbus at
the Garden Theatre. Messrs Roster &
Bal now declare that they have got an
aerial ballet, and a better one than the
Grigolates. and that they will present 1t
at their Music Hall about the end OF
August. Their ballet also comes from
Paris. 1t will be rather interesting to
watch this contest develop, and to see
which OF the versions gets first before
the New York public. The aerial ballet
is said to be a highly ingenious affair.
1t is danced in the air, the dancers being
suspended by invisible wires. and flying
from one side Of the stage to the other.
1t will probably get here when the living
pictures have become chestnuts. and the
city is yearning for something new to
gloat over. The present craze cannot
last very much longer. It is literally
burning itself out. Every new set OF liv-
ing pictures is a dea th-bow to the craze.
The supply nj aerial ballets will probably
be very plentiful.
