the performance a brilliant and delight
full one last night.
Among these are the ethereal, queenly
Julia Sedowa and the dashing little
sprite Lopoukowa. To trip and waltz on
her toes is obviously for Sedowa the
very beginning of the terpsichorean art,
and her posturing, her incisive, cameo
like command Of gesture were amazingly
slxillful In the dance of the swans
and the short but brilliant dance of
sorrow with NJ. Mordkin; in the fourth
act, she was at her best.
Lopoukowa's style is even more clean
cut, youthful, dashing. and sparkling; it
is the very incarnation of youth in the
dance. Her wonderful swan variation" !"
in the second act, and her delightful,
charming waltz in the advertisement with
NJ Alexander Volinine won some Of the
greatest enthusiasm of the evening NJ.
Volinine's name fairly suggests the ad-
jective which should be applied to him
volatile-and he resembled Mercury more
than any one else on the stage.
This afternoon and evening the pro-
gramme will be changed, the ballet Cop

TACT
WINS CONCESSIONS
Gain Demands by Landing
Commissioners.

Because the citizens Of Parkview have
always been tactful toward the District
Commissioners they have obtained i'm
places. At least that is the opinion of
". E. Shannon, who said in a speech
at the Parkview Citizens Association
last night, at the Whitney Avenue
Christian Church, that ''the residents OF
this beautiful place have given those
three men credit for adequate services,
while other associations continually
complain about one thing or another.
THE three Commissioners were chosen
because they were the men for the place,
and know their business" said Mr.
Shannon. "other associations seem to
take pleasure in finding fault, and they
wonder why they do not get more cleo
tric lights and other improvements The
citizens Of Parkviek asked for a dozen,
and they got thirteen. Which shows
good business policy"
Before ths- entertainment consisting Of
music and recitations, the association
held a short business meeting, disposing
of some routine matter. The next meet
ing will be held the first Friday in No
vember.
Solos were sung by Mrs A. B. Crane,
Lewis, accompanied by Miss Helen Sun
derland. w. p. Ziph, a magician, enter
tained with several new tricks and sleight-
of-hand stunts; D. A. Edwards told Of

Spidel recited a funny story. Refresh

RUSSIAN DANCERS

Mordkin'S Company Reveals
Brilliant Ballet.

Last season Washington saw, as the
very apex of terpsichOrean and choreo-
graphic delights, Pavlowa and Mordkin.
This year, owing to unanticipated do
mestic turbulence, it is the Russian i'm
perial ballet and Mikail Mordkin. The
performance of these brilliant dancers
from the Cars empire has undergone
radical changes, owing to the breakup
of the celebrated partnership; the new
balIets are ravishingIy beautiful, even If
the element of terpsichorean virtuosity
does not enter into them as decisively
as might be desired.
The Russians were seen at the Belasco
last evening by a brilliant audience, and
the new fairy tale ballet in four acts

enthusiasm. Merely from the standpoint
of ballet dancing, the advertisement
which closed the evenings entertainment
was the feature of the performance, and
It was this which gave the greatest
pleasure. The ballet involved pantomim-
