Monte Carlo Ballet
Stages Two Bright
Items at National
By HARRY MACARTHUR.

Continuing its weeks engagement
at the National Theater, the Ballet
Russo de Monte Carlo last night
presented a pair of its more frolic-
some items-"The Nutcracker" and
"Capriccio Espagnol." with the brief
duet, Spectre de Ia Rose" sand
wiched tn between. And undoubt-
edly they were staged with more
spirit than ever before in Washing

winds up In one Of those madly
swirling moments of Massine chore-
ography involving the entire troupe.
The master himself made his one
appearance of the evening in this
ballet, whipping OF dashing gypsy

the program as Mia Slavenska, but
who did not seem to be Mile.
Slavenska, though she might have

"The Nutcracker," like ~Capric-

might guess from the facilities pro-

settings, by Alexandra Benois, being
Just the backdrops needed to set oil
Mr.. Benois' costumes. The young
ladies Of the corps de ballet, Of

not being pushed of In the wings

parently relish the opportunity to

noted. Alexandra Danilova was

Since taking up his boxing career Rob-
lnson has run up total of 119 consecu-
tive wins, 20 of which were won in profess
sional bouts. This mark surpasses the re-
markabe record of Joe Louis who met
four reverses in his ring career, three dur
ing his amateur days, and once since he
turned professional in 1884.
The return of Josh Gibson to the lineup
of the Homestead Grays means that the
Pittsburgh team will be favored to retain
the Negro National league flag won last
Fall. Not only is Gibson a good catcher,
but he's probably the hardest hitter in
baseball today.
In addition, the Grays have obtained
the service of Sammy Bankhead, fine out
fielder and good hitter, to team with Man
ager Vic Harris and Whatley. The Posey-
men have also secured Frank Williams, a
good outfielder with Cincinnati last year.
With Gibson, Bankhead. Williams,
Harris, Carlisle and Buck Leonard in the
lineup, Homestead will have plenty of pow
er at the plate.
