Ballet Theater
In Dazzling
Performance
By ]. W. STEPP.

. .
The Ballet Theater returned to
Warrington last night and several
conclusions, as the enthusiasm of
Constitution Hall spectators will
vouchsafe, may b drawn without
hesitation. It is now q ballet troupe
of the frst water. It has the
dancers, the choreography, the
music and, finally but by no means
of least importance, the costumes.
These are the assets which came
into full play at the opening per-
Torrance Of the pair scheduled.
Programmed were numbers order
made for displaying the wide range
Ballet Theater dancers are capable
Of handling in the short space Of
an evening. With "Bluebeard," /"
"Slavonika" and Lilac Garden" It
also was apparent that the produc-
ton minds behind the scenes have
been busy freshening not only rep
ertory but those little details Of
execution that make truly finished
performance. In short, from Antal
Doratis compact orchestra in the
pit to the crisp waves Of King
Bobiche's beard. the company be-
spoke well-knit artistic organiza-
ton.
"Bluebeard," set to Onenbach's
music, of course provided the terpsi-
chorean thrills on the grand scale.

lygamous baron who disposed OF his
