In one important branch OF operatio
enterprise the coming season at the
Metropolitan Opera House will differ
from all it's predecessors. What seems
like a genuine effort to improve the ballet
is promised. or course nobody need take
seriously the talk OF a ballet school.
Ballet dancing is not the sort OF employ

here from Continental theatres are always
much better than any that ever were
sent from any London ballet school.
But whatever may be the result Of Nine.
Cavallazyi's ministrations there seems a
determination to do something in the
way of establishing a ballet corps that
will be different from the dilapidated
body OF heavy footed plodders that were
used as a proof OF our lack of interest
in the ballet.
