Ballet Russo
In Exciting
Program
New Massine Dance
Is Last Nights
High Light
BY HARRY MACARTHUR.

With something old and some.
thing new and something decided,
gay, the Ballet Russo de Monte
Carlo came back to town last night
to be greeted warmly at Constitu-
tion Hall. Artistic Director Leomde
Massine selected a well-balanced
program, this first of the ballet
groups two here, and such exciting
people as Alexandra Danilova, Mia
Slavenska, Alicia Markova, George
zoritch, Frederic Franklin and Igor
Youskevitch Ito mention a few
were In excellent form. The Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra, too
conducted by Efrem Kurtz, con-
tributed its share toward a COM
pletely satisfying evening.
The something new" on the pro-
gram was Mr.. Massine's new ballet
"Rouge ct Noir," occasionally as ex-
citing as anything whipped up lately
on the ballet stage. Done to the
first symphony of Dmitri Shostako-
witch. Mr.. Massine's new dance is
an abstraction on the theme that
mans ultimate destiny is no happy
one, that he can conquer worldly
woes but never can he conquer the
fates which are against him ever.
That it seems too much of an ab-
straction is small point, for as a
dance piece this is a visual treat
The dancing, both the individual in
terludes and the swirling mass
movements Massine has arranged
is thrilling to the point of being
breath taking at moments. Miss
Markova, Mr.. Youskevitch and q
number of other people interpret
'Rouge ct Noir" with zest.
"Gaite Parisienne," the decidedly
gay" part of last evenings program
was that piece with which Massine
and the Ballet Russo, inspired by
sprightly Ofenbach music. startled
the world of the theaer by doing the
can-can on a ballet stage. 1t is a
classic can-can and if you missed
1t you had best make reservation
right now for next years perform
ance. But "Gaite Parisienne" really
is especially delightful because of
Miss Alexandra Danilova. Miss
Danilova probably is the premiere
ballerina by whom any ballet would
like to be Interpreted, if it could
but make the fact known. Massine
dances, and handsomely, in this, too,
and Marc Platoff, Mr.. Franklin and
Lubov Rostova are some of the
others who make it happy mo-
ment.
Miss Slavenska, who brought the
ballet to motion picture audiences
In "Ballerina," made her Washing
ton debut last night in the classic
on the program, LES Sylphides." "
And Miss Slavenska, with the help
of Mini Thielade, Nathalie Kras-
sovska, Mr.. Zoritch, ct al, lent an
abundance of grace and charm to
the original Michel Fokine choreog-
raphy.
Tonight the Ballet Russo will pre-
sent "Carnaval," La Boutique Fan
tasque," THE Bluebird" and Ca
priccio Espagnol" at Constitution
Hall.

Protector Of Women

A weak, undernourished condition
often enables functional dysnienor-
Yhea to get a foothold; thus leads
to much of woman's suffering from
headaches, nervousness, and other
periodic discomfort.
CARDUTS principal help for such
distress comes from the way it
usually stimulates appetite; in
creases flow of gastric juice; thus
aids digestion; helps build energy,
strength, physical resistance to
periodic pain for many.
Another way, many women find

Relief Spending

President Roosevelt's request that
relief funds for the 1941 fiscal year
be made available for use on an
eight-month instead of an annual
basis is not supported by any reasons
of policy or necessity which should
persuade Congress to abandon the
sound practice now In effect.
The President, it is true, has given
assurances that the rate of expend-
iture of these funds will not be ac-
celerated, should the change be
made, unless it becomes absolutely
necessary" to do so. But this is an
election year, and it is obvious that
neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor Colonel
F. c. Harrington, Work Projects
Commissioner, will be able to deter
mine in particular cases: whether
increased outlays have become abso-
lutely necessary or not. To large
extent that determination will have
to be made by the men in the field
and, If the record of the w. P. A. In
past election years is to be taken
into account, 1t Is a reasonable as
sumption that a number Of them will

travelled by automobile; s13 persons
were killed in accidents, an increase
of 1913; 1888 were injured; 31,093
pedestrians were warned verbally by
policemen of dangerous practices,
but 270 of them, 81 more than in
1888, met death while walking. And
while these adverse statistics were
piling up in almost every category
only $50 patrolmen were available to
watch over $4,000 miles of highways.
Restatement OF these figures in
terms of economic loss is one means
by which the weight of their errors
can be brought home to certain
types of motorists. The realization
that reckless driving may cost them
anything from weeks pay to the
savings of a lifetime may have a
SOLDERING effect. Virginia's motorists
last year paid seven million dollars
for auto licenses. But they paid
nearly six times that much for
impatience.
