BALLET Russo.
PLEASES THRONG
" 1T H ITS ART
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

The Ballet Russo de Monte
Carlo, which, we are told, has
gathered q million and q half
dollars during its present tour,
displayed its art on the midget
stage of Constitution Hall last
night and made the audience
forget that the ballet worked
under difficulties. There were
not sets. Black velvet drapes
were the only background, and
curtained tunnels and tall
screens served for entrances and
exits.
On the other hand there was
the National Symphony Or
chestra In the pit to play. It is
rare that ballets are served by
first class symphonic ensemble.
Then, too, the small stage
seemed to bring the dancers
nearer to the observer. The
whole group proved worth the
closeup and the lovely Baronova
seemed as fresh and radiant as
though she never had read a
headline.
The program was made up OF
familiar excerpts from the roper
toire of which the best, by far,
was MaSsine's setting Of the
Berlioz Symphonic FantaStique.
This is the third translation OF
important symphonies that Mas
sine has attempted and the
most successful, though / liked
both the choreography and the
sociology Of his fourth Tscha1.
kowsky as much as diSliked
his treatment of the fourth
Brahms.
The Berlioz fantasy on an
opium eaters dream was given
a program by the composer that
invites choreographic treatment.
In fact that was his expressed
intention. Massine's imagination
seems to have matched that OF
the composer and doubtless out
stripped it. For Berlioz must
have visioned the dance inter-
probation in terms of the classic
ballet. Happily MasSine has re"
tanned little of this technique
and, with each season, seems to
have cut out more of it from
his pantomime.

Great is commerciazed sport! Great is profess
sonal athletics! We build short fence, put cork
in the center Of the ball, and pay Babe Ruth $780,,
600 to knock the thing over the wall The sensible
and decent thing would be corkess ball, long
fence, and $4,000, which is good price for ball
player. Then the public could see some of these
recreatons. But the racket must be served.
1t is.so with boxing, more so. At any farm house
in the country one may stop, see pair OF mules
kick each other, bulls gore, and get just as ar
tistic and intelligent execution one gets from
a ringside seat with Joe Louis and Jim Braddock'
Max, Baer, or Max Schmeling participating. Ihere
are perfect antidotes for this national disease one
intelligent and personally decent man like Jam Cor
bett or Gene Tunney can ruin the choking game

down one of these synthetic "killers."
