The toy shop setting for the
Fairy Doll" ballet in the first
scene was elaborate and well ex.
ecuted. The younger students Of
the ballet were the performers
in the Joseph Bayer ballet with
John Bateman in the role Of the
Storekeeper, Phyllis Schwartz, the
Salesgirl, and the diminutive
Patsy ORourke in the title role.
The first scene is concerned
with showing the antics Of the
mechanical dolls to prospective
customers, with a number OF
comic situations arising. The
second scene consisted Of solo and
ensemble dances with the entire
cast of about 40 young performers
on the stage. There were porce-
lain dolls, rabbits, Dutch dolls, sol
diers, pink and blue dolls, Chinese
and Russian dolls.
The costumes were varied and
the ballet presented a riot Of
moving color with the young
performers keeping well to the
rhythm of the music. Boofie
Barry, in the first scene as the
Papa-Mama Doll, and in the Sec
ond scene taking the role Of the
White Doll, distinguished herself
as q most accomplished ballerina
for her age. The box-like cos
tunes Of the six wooden soldiers
attracted much attention because
of the novel shape which per
mitted only the head and arms
Of the boys to be seen.
Portions Of Glazounow'S ballet
"Raymonda" were performed by
the older dancers featuring the
classical style Of abstract ballet
dancing. With a ballet chorus Of
a dozen and five featured solo
dancers, the latter including Betty
Raymond, Lila ZalipSky, Virginia
Barry, Ethel Mevay and Ronnie
Cunningham, the production was
fully the equal of most profes-
siorNl performances. Qn fact sew
eral of these leading ballerinas
trained by Mr.. Bekefi have already
accepted professional contracts.)
The music by Glazounow has q
freedom and flow of melodic lines
that furnishes a high Inspiration
for the dancer. The solo variations
were conceived and executed with
ingenuity and authority. The
chorus work was timed carefully as
to position and rhythm and
showed aSsiduous rehearsal.
The third part of the program
was given over to advertisements
Of a lighter nature, including tap
dance inventions directed and
staged by Billy Lytell and several
musical comedy numbers staged
and directed by Theodore Bekefi.
Some Of the tap dance solos pre-.
sented most tricky rhythm and
eccentric movement.

which DR.. Kinder has programmed
often before, one has Jasis of meas
urement of the artistic growth of the
organization and one could well be
gratified at the advancement that has
been made.
In the first place, the entire tone
of the orchestra has become solidifled,
as 1t were, with the raggedness OF
unequal attack eliminated. With this
has come a finer tonal quality which
lends itself to any desired interpretive
effect with real spontaneity. There is,
further, a greater uniformity Of facility
so that increased tempo does not
t'sturb the clarity of the ensemble.
Accents and increased or diminished
volumes have meaning and the
auditors attention follows eagerly the
unfolding of the interpretive idea. One
senses that here is group of musicians
each section Of which has developed
immeasurably artistically and which
takes a real pride in both solo and
ensemble performance because they
have something to express. That Dr.
Kinder has been able to accomplish
this in a few short years against many
odds is indeed remarkable.
