No local musicians are used during
the engagement of the French Grand
Opera Company, as NJ. Layolle brings
his entire band from the Paris Grand
Opera. 1t is rarely that such an or
ton. Every musician with the company
is graduate Of the Paris Conserva-

coming to this country. 1t may be
seen. therefore. at glance that Wash

A feature deserving special mention
IL the splendid ballet which appears
with the French Grand Opera Com
pany. The Paris Grand Opera has long
been noted as the one theater where
the apex Of ballet perfection has been
reached. When 1t is remembered that
the forty dancers comprising the
French opera ballet have all been re-
cruited from the ranks of the Paris
Grand Opera it can readily be seen
they are something beyond the ordf-
