The Russian Ballet.

Now tuat Inc men whose generosity
makes possible the performances al
the Metropolitan Opera House have
decided TO bring Russian ballet to
this country, they will put within
the reach of New York lovers Of the
theatres art n pleasure which has al
ready been enjoyed by the capitals Of
Europe. Doubtless this famous troupe
Will be able 10 come to this country
next year owing to conditions which
will prevent II from appearing in the
European cities.
New York has in reality seen little
OF the genuine Russian ballet. ANNA
PAvLowA and MIKAIL MoRDKIN have
danced here along with some other
pupils of the ballet school at the
Marien Theatre. But OF Russian bal.
let In the sense that word has come
to he understood abroad there has
been scarcely a trace here. The de-
signs Of BAKsr and his associates.
the chOreographlcs of FoKfNF and the
rest OF the school are as much a part
of the modern Russian ballet move
mcnt as the dancing OF the principals.
Quite AS i%nseparable from the ballet
as WAsLAw NAJiNsKi or THAMARA
KARsAyiSA are the designs OF the
artists brought into existence by the

let and the musicians who have com
posed the music OF W ballets.
So it will he an unmitigated ar.

pany Of trained secondary performers.
II M he said that the ballet has
M yet had u fair chance in this
country. There have been n or
two brilliant principals. but the back
ground has never beer adequate. Now
every feature Of a fine and a tini shed
ballet is promised
Although NAJINSKI is the most
famous man dancer OF the day and
kARsA,INA q noted character dancer.
there ought 20 be Il place IN this
troupe for one who j. really the most
famous ballerina of her time. This

eminence there is no question. She
is the foremost dancer OF her day
and In her the art Of the ballet in
Russia and for that matter in the
world to-day has reachel It's flower.

GRAMMARIANS IN A RIOT.
Deadly Assault Launched Against the
Inverted Passive.

To THE EDITOR OF Thu SuN--Sir: The
inverted passive In a Teutonic language
Is an absurdity. a monstrosity, a de-
stroyer OF force and vividness. a wrecker
OF accuracy, a hallmark OF grammarless-
ness, a %signboard OF slouchy thinking
n ~infantile expression, unnecessary,
undesirable. uncalled for. and subyer-
sive Of all that should be considered the
clear expression of clear thought.
Shakespeare used the inverted pas
sive once, and he put Il in the mouth OF
MopSu in The Winters Tale Az abe
was an illiterate shepherdess the error
was appropriately placed. and it was
classed by the placing too, Because
Mopsa says II was promised them
against the feast would seem TO be the
best OF reasons why Woodrow Wilson
should not say II am brought moro re-
ports and WHY Theodore Roosevelt and
other prominent men should not botch
and butcher the language similarly.
Most OF the offenders on this point Of
fend carelessly and thouKhtlessly.
The English does not permit, does not
recognize. does not necessitate the In
verted passive. All good writer's and all
text book makers should omit the mon
strosity. Splitting the infnitive IL corn-
mon and Vicious and vulgar. Dropping
TIE subjunctive mood IL criminal and
destructive OF much OF the force OF tho
English language. Yet those two errors
are insignificant in comparison with the
inverted passive. To illustrate the per
~nicious and supervicious effects OF the
Inverted passive are presented the fol-
lowing specimens culled from various
sources
