LES Sylphides." No ballet rep
resents a more severe test of a
company's style, and Ballet
Theater's performance of it meets
the test impresSively.
1t is the ideal showcase fol-
the groups principal dancers
Paula Lloyd as the semi-human
spirit in the waltz; Mary Ellen
Moylan and John Kriza in the
Mazurka; Kriza in the prelude
which is the highlight of this
fragile, romantic elfland echo.
The basic charm of the ballet
however. lies in the foundational
lovelineSs of the movements and
groupings of the corps de ballet
which in this case means clearly
that it is in safe hands. Benjamin
Britten's arrangement, conducted
by Joseph Levine, made Lies
|Sylphides" the musically lyrical
interval of the opening program.
A major program change in the
premiere performance was forced
by the injury of Igor Youskevitch,
who may be out of the program
again today due to leg tendon
mishap. The BLACK Swan" pas
de deux programmed for Youske-
witch and Alicia AlonZo was re-
placed by a brilliantly danced duet
from Don QuiXote" by Miss
Alonzo and John Kriza.
Mr.. Youskevitch is no dancer
whose disappearance is to be
taken lightly but the resources of
Ballet Theater's repretory could
not have provided more engag-
ing substitute.

UNITED NATIONS, NY, Mar.
l5.-All over the world, men are
dying OF much faster than
women, a United Nations survey
showed today.
The survey, contained in the
q. MS monthly bulletin of sta
tistics. gave no specific reason for
the higher death rate among
males, but said one reason might
be that fewer and fewer women
die In childbirth, while dangers
to men, including accidents and
work hazards. remain about what
they have always been.
It also declared more men COM
NIT suicide.
The survey showed the trend
toward more male than female
deaths occurs from early child
birth to old age, and that it is
constantly increasing.
As examples, the bulletin said
women in the United States have
. life expectancy of $3.50 years
men 61.60: in The Netherlands
women can expect to live 7l.s
years and men 69.4: in Britain
