The coming of Pavolwa and Mord
kin and the imperial Russian ballet,
announced by L. E. Behymer for No
vember % and week at the Auditorium
in this city will bring to our city the
greatest novelty of local amusement
history.
The ballet is accorded a recognition
in Russia unknown anywhere else in
the world. 1t Is supported by the
government, which maintains schools
devoted to that art, with a twelve
year course Of instruction before pub
lie performances are permitted. Upon
reaching the age of 30 two members
for life and forbidden to dance in pub
lie on the theory they have reached
the zenith of their professional pos
sibilities and that their retirement is
necessary to maintain the high STAN
dard of performances sought. There
is a distinct literature devoted to this
art. Stories-call them dramas, op-
eras, or what you will-are written for
Interpretation by the ballet, and these
are conveyed to the audience through
the medium of facial expression and
physical motion, without a spoken
word The production carries three
complete scenic productions and will
be one of the biggest events of the
dramatic year in Los Angeles.
