Russian Dancers At Academy.

The "Ail-Star Russian Imperial
Ballet" which appeared at the Acao-
envy last night gave an entertainment
which was appreciated by those who
place dancing among the arts. Alex
ander Valinine. the bright particular
star; Helena Schmolz, OF the Warsaw
ballet; Mile. Plaskowietzkaia and Mile
Kuhn make a quartet only to be seen
when Richmond folk travel to New
York and visit the Metropolitan Opera
organization visits Richmond.
To say that the audience appreciated
the performance is stating the fact
mildly. The applause was spontan-
eous. hearty. bountiful and many a
pair of perfectly good gloves were
spoiled demanding encores. In the
Polka violette number Violinine and
Mile. Schmolx were recalled again and
again. and they deserved the tribute
bestowed upon them.
The program was I'm the two parts.
the first being devoted to "Coppelia.'
the famous ballet of Delibes. The
second. advertisements, consisted OF
several numbers. in which music by
Chopin, Saint Saens, Strauss and Iiszt
was prominent.
These numbers were received more
heartily than "Coppeiia" although that
spectacle, itself. was 30 captivating
that one IL inclined to deal in SUPER
latives. There have been more gor-
geous productions seen on the Acad-
envy stage. but none. according to ex-
perienced theatre-goers. more artis-
tic and entertaining.
