Tamara Tchinarova, Edna Busse, Kathleen Gorham, Phyllis Kennedy, Joan Potter and Jonet Wilkie will appear in the various ballets, as also will Serge Bousloff, Martin Rubinstein, Vassallie Trunoft, Alfred Ross and Leon Kellaway. Edouard Borovansky is said to be outstandingly brilliant in the character he presents in “ Coppelia,” and he is also fine in Le Beau Danube." All of the ballets are accompanied bv a full symphony orchestra, which is under the direction of the distinguished Continental conductor, Kurt Heru’eg, and the work of the very talented corps de ballet is a big feature of each of the ballets.
