Mr.. Kaspars numbers were all we'll

feels, however, that this old war

cluded the program. The "Etude in

the Eighth Hungarian Rhapsody in

The Chicago Opera Ballet.

fDAELEY AND OCKRAINSKY ballet
dancers, were engaged by the
chicago Opera Co. for the first time
by Maestro Campanini in January,
f916, to appear in Cleopatra by
kIassenet
After the success in that opera, they
iNere re-engaged for the season 1916
1917 as premier danseurs etoile"
Tor special operas only. The ballet at
hat time was under the direction of
1r. Amrosini, a Belgian ballet master,
who followed the rules of the Italian
Fchool of the dance.
As the only way to have a good
ballet is to have all the members in
.tructed after the same method, and
rs the Chicago Opera Co. did not have
uch a school, Pavley and Oukrain-
sky established their own school,
where they could develop the talents
bf the young American girls instead
bf looking for dancers in foreign
countries.
To keep an ensemble intact for the
opera it was necessary to arrange
for concert tours throughout the
year, as no company could exist with
bnly a ten-week engagement during
he year.
In 1917-1S they were re-engaged
hgain for Cleopatra" this opera being
The only one in that seasons reper-
|toire which gave big enough oppor-
ftunity for the now well established
Ballet company.
AS "Cleopatre," however, through
different circumstances. was not given
that season, they did not appear.
For the season 191S-19 they were
re-engaged for several special operas,
and a few of their pupils appeared as
"premiere danseuses" with them. 3.
The success of their method of in
struction and their choreogra phic
creations was SO great that the di-
rection of the Chicago Opera Asso-
citation, which in the meantime had
succeeded the Chicago Opera Co., en-
ga eed them to direct the entire ha L
