BALLET Russo HAS
CHARMS FOR OMAHA
Big Audience Sits Patiently
Through Cherries Waits to
Watch Wonderful Dancers.
ART, MOTION, MUSIC MEET
By HENRIETTA M. REES.

By HENRIETTA M. REES.
Music lovers, dance lovers, art
lovers in general and patrons of nov
city from pure curiosity turned out
in fair numbers last evening at the
single appearance of the celebrated
Diaghileff Ballet Russo at the Audi
forum.
Many had learned wisdom from
previous ballots at the Auditorium
and were found in the balcony, which
was well filled in the side sections
and from which view of the stage was
not hampered by the footlight ar
rangements. The lower floor also held
a goodly crowd, which gave the most
fattering attention and a great
amount of active appreciation to the
three beautiful ballots presented.
Much has been heard of the won-
ders of this ballet from other cities, of
the remarkable dancing, the panto-
mime drama and the unexcelled stars
who made up the cast. Much has been
written previous to the performance
of the remarkable scenic effects and
costumes of the modern decorative
artists. Leon Bakst and Andre Benois,
and others who have designed the un-
usual settings of the ballots.
Waits Were Prolonged.
In none of these things were those
present disappointed. Only at rare in
tervals is one permitted the oppor-
tunity of seeing such excellent and
highly developed forms OF the art of
the dance. With the Russians this be-
comes the vehicle not only Of fancy
steps and various moods or incidents,
but of the most intense dramatic ex-
preston, and joins and vastly ad-
vances the art of pantomime. 1t was
really only at rare intervals last eve
ming that the opportunity was given
Of seeing such dancing, for the waits
between the three ballots were appall-
ing.
The second wait, by correct time,
was exactly thirty-seven minutes. In
the meantime, during the entire period
of these deadening waits, where was
the symphony orchestra of fifty under
the direction of M. Pierre Monteux,
which lent such able support to the
different ballets?
1t is customary in all theatrical per-
formances to enliven the intermis-
sions with music, and even the small
ballet which appeared here early in
the season was more fair to the au-
dience than the Diaghileff organiza-
ton in this respect, the orchestra
presenting regular printed program
of numbers and adding several extra
ones, besides.
The Chicago Opera company or
chestra under Carnpanini added two
extra numbers between the third and
fourth acts of an opera also. It
would not have been necessary to
have played entirely through these
waits; twenty-minute program d1r-
ing each would have sufficed.
Ballots Arranged by Fokine.
The scenes and dance of the ballots
were all arranged by Michael Fokine,
and the music was from the best of
musical composers. The three ballots
were of the widest possible extremes
of life, character and types, and the
scenery and costumes, the music, and
the motions of the dance were as
widely differentiated. The first was
pantomime ballet i'll one act. "Carna-
val" set to the music of Robert
Schumann, orchestrated by Rimsky
Korsakoff, and Liadow Tscherepnine
