The third or Allegro Gioccose
movement became a joyful riot
of colorful peasants dances with
a comedy relief of two male
dancers initiating the more grace
full ballerinaS. The fourth move
ment, Allegro Energico e Pas
Sionato, was dominated by a
group of male dancers in dark
costume and appearing with sin
iSter movements whenever the
long chords of the principal
theme were heard.
Throughout the first and last
movements, the pre- miere duo,
Tamara Toumanova and Leonide
MasSine, wove fanciful m d S
with the swaying background of
the chorus. AS the braSSeS blared
forth the theme shown above,
the whole ensemble began to
move in more energetic fashion
and with the paSsacaglia dance
form of the movem ent, ap-
preached the ending of the SYM
phony in a climax of Intoxicating
rhythm.
DR.. Hans Kinder conducted
the symphony without any cuts
and just as he might have for
any concert. The rhythms Of the
dance were Skillfully matched
with the rhythms and moods of
the symphony without any neceS-
Sity to make changes in tempo
in order to favor the dancers.
On the whole, the audience
seemed to be highly pleased with
this novel exposition of Brahms
symphony, but of course there
we're those present who feel that
the symphony is complete in itself
without need of visual interpreta-
ton.
This ballet was first presented
about three years ago, but is GER
tainly not the first attempt to
portray a standard instrumental
work. About II years ago, the
DeniShawn dancers presented a
ballet Interpretation of Beethoven'S s
"Pathetique Sonata" with a full
symphony orcheStration, which
was highly successful.
For those music lovers whose
training is not quite that of artistic
perfection and whose entire in

majority, such visual interpre-

Orchestra, B a | e t
Handicapped by
Stage Setting

The force of circumstances in
presenting the Ballet Russo in
Constitution Hall last night pre-
vented the famous organization
from presenting a program that
would have been better balanced
from the audience standpoint. On
account of the lack of scenery, two
abstract and only one program
balletS were given.
The National Symphony Orches,
ira, as if profiting by the expert
ence of the previous evening, was
heard to better advantage last
night. The scoring of the works
used last night for one thing was
somewhat heavier and called more
upon the resources Of the orcheS
ira.
So pleased with the National
Symphony Orchestra was the bal
let master, Leonide MaSSine, that
he took the leading role himself
in "Choreartium," instead of

ing ballerina, Tamara Touma,
nova, was greatly appreciated by
the large audience.
The opening ballet, LES Syl
phideS," based upon music by
Chopin, through which the strains
Of the Prelude No. 7" ran as 8
theme to bind the various excerpts
together, was a classic example o1
the pure art of ballet. The mani
rhythms, poses and solo dances in
quantity conceived costumes made
delightful picture.
Roman JaSinSky in the Mazurka
approached at times much of the
traditional Russian style of sole
dancing, but the force of gravity
seemed to exert too great a handi-
cap for leaps Of any height and
the customary entrechat-huit was
not performed with more than six
movements of the feet in any leap
seen on the stage, including those
Of David Lichine.
The second ballet, "Chorear-
tium," a magnificent combination
OF detailed figures and moods
that fitted into the spirit of the
music of Brahms Symphony No.

greeted with the greatest ovation
of the evening. The first and
second movements, Allegro and
Andante Sostenuto, were char.
acterized by fanciful costumes
and at times angular movements

THE VOICE OF
Broadway
By Louis SoboI
Short Story!

Rather three losing horses than
one nagging wife" goes an ancient
adage attributed to the versatile
Anon, stepbrother Of the notorious
Ibid.
Consider the comedian who
never had horse, but did have
. nagging wife who made life
pretty miserable for him. When
he was in vaudeville many years
ago, his wife was in the act
although quite superfluOus. An
eaSygOing, affable chap, he per
mitted her to run the act just
as she ran him. 1t was she who
arranged the contracts and
fought for the billing. She die
tated his stage costumes and his
street attire, told him when to
change to heavy underwear,
when to wear . derby, when to
wear . straw. Wherever he went,
she went with him. She insisted
he do . certain amount Of read
ing each day and he didn't
object because he liked the Sat
urday Evening Post, but she
kicked the magazines out Of the
room and made him start on
Volume One Of DR.. EliOt'S Five
Foot Shelf.
He submitted meekly when she
insisted he part his hair in the
center, although he Snickered In
wardly, because he knew it was
only q matter Of q few years be
fore he'd be entirely bald. He
did raise . slight protest, how
ever, when, after the welcome
badness had descended upon him
she went out and bought him q
bargain toupe, but the poor jelly
fish lost out in that battle just as
he had in others.
The years passed. The poor
hen-peCk became a by-wOrd
among the stage folk. Variety
once ran q jOShing story about
the couple and the woman
threatened to sue. That night
she made her husband eat caull-
flower, . dish he detested. He
went around to see the late
Slime SiIverman the following
day and begged him to lay off.
"She says" he explained, "that
the next time she'll make me
eat spinach" Sounds burlesquey
but it's true. No man was
ever so completely under .
wOman's Sharp-nailed thumb.
There came a time when q stag
party was to pe tossed for q Ger
tain vaudeville star, a personal
friend Of our down-trodden hero
For the first time in his married
career, he promised faithfully to
attend-without first consulting
his bride. AS might have been ex
pected, when he broke the news to
her she raised the roof.
"YOu won't 90 to that party"
she StOrmed.
"But, my dear, I promised. I'll
be back at o'clock"
"YOu won't go to that party"
Honey. 1 promised. Tll-"
"Over my dead body, you'll
co." she said, with q tone Of
finality."
He stared at her out Of his mild
slightly bleary blue eyes. She
turned and started toward the
other end of the room. Still he
stared. Then he walked over tc
q corner, picked up an umbrella,
followed her, and hit her over the
head half a dozen times. She fell
to the floor, unconscious, and he
walked out. That night he was
the life at the party. He never
returned to her.

When Aquilla was injured while at work in 1927, his employees signed an agreement to pay him $l6.48 weekly during his disability, but not for longer than the statutory limit of 520 weeks. Payments were made un- til recently, when the employer se- cured a hearing before Commission CT Lynch and pointed out that Aquilla had opened tavern in An- sonia on November 20, 1885.
 Tn a finding which supplemented the original agreement, Commission CT Lynch held that Aquilla's services in his own tavern were worth at least $l5 weekly. Consequently, he reduced his compensation from $l6.48 to one-half the difference the $l5 and the $32.05 which was Aquilla's average weekly wage before he was injured.
 The appeal entered in the superior court today was filed for Aquilla by Attorney William Healey. The ap- peal will be assigned for a hearin in superior court.
