Mr.. Bekefi, the only ballet in
structor available locally who has
taken the full training of the Rus.
sian Imperial Theater Ballet
School, will present the third act
from "Raymonda" with his ad-
vanced pupils in a washington
premiere of Glazounow's work.
THE Fairy DOLL" will be danced
by the younger pupils.
The differences between the ira
ditional Russian ballet which was
developed to its high art form by
Petipa and what is called mod
ern" dancing, are held up for COM
pariSon by Elliott Carter in the
current edition of Modern Music.
Speaking of George Balanchine
and his American Ballet troupe of
the Metropolitan Opera, Mr.. Car
ter says, Most modern American
and German dancers return di-
rectly to the gestures of primitive
ritual or the mining of basic
physiological activities"
"The modern dance generally
shows us individuals in the throes
of Self-induced emotions, who by
their apparent disregard of the
looker-on, seem to move within a
ritual like that of the church.
Groups of individuals also take
part in these ritual dances with
out contact, apparently swayed by
simultaneously experienc e d
emotion. The relationships are
not human and emotional; they
might exist between schools of
small fish. Sometimes we see
satirical situations such as the
genius-hero being tortured at the
hands of a fantastic society con-
jured up for the occasion without
any social validity"
On the other hand, Mr.. Carter
says of the Petipa ballet tradition,
"a frame that theatricalizes by
making everything more objective,
and which he revitalizes by bring
ing it close to our present feelings.
This tradition gives conference and
intelligtbility to raw material
that in itself has little more than
chronological interest"
The U. S. Army Band, Capt.
Thomas F. Darcy conducting,

Sergeant Brubaker also said he
would attempt to trace a 80 cali
ber pistol which Keene was known
to have possessed. It has not been
found in his home or office.
Check Art Lead
Meanwhile authorities started
to investigate reports that Keene
had been engaged to sell a valua-
BILE art collection, which would
have netted him a commission Of
$4,000.
Tazewell T. Thomas, Baltimore
lawyer, came to Washington last
night to visit Mrs. Keene, and re-
vealed that Keene had been work
ing with him on the sale Of the
art collection.
In Good Spirits
Thomas said he had known
Keene for several years, but be-
lieved he was an art expert and
did not know he was a real estate
dealer.
It was about a week before
Keene disappeared from the boat
that Thomas last saw Keene, he
said, and at that time Keene ap-
peared to be in good spirits.
Thomas said he knew nothing
about Keene's personal life. and
added:
"He was a delightful man to
meet, and he seemed to have q
host of friends in Washington"
Thomas declined to discuss the
art collection, other than to say
it is of great value and that some
of the pictures are in New York
and some in Europe. The deal was
progressing satisfactorily" h e
said.
