RUSSIAN BALLET
TWO NIGHTS’ SEASON. The Covent Garden Russian Ballet will stage a tow-nights’ season at the Opera House. Masterton, commencing on Friday night. The tour is under the direction of Maurice Ralph. Masterton is fortunate in being offered a dazzling repertoire, .in which every phase of the company's amazing technique will be given full scope. Among the many elaborate and spectacular ballets to be presented are “Spectre de la Rose.” “Sylphides.” “Carnival,” and excerpts from the magnificent. “Aurora's Wedding," together with traditional, national and folk dances, all magnificently costumed. Among the principals are several famous names, including Valerie Shaievsky, celebrated male dancer and choreographer. Shaievsky is a rarity who can interpret romantic roles to perfection, and no dancer today has a granter range. Raya Kousnetzova, world-famous premiere ballerina, has exceptional beauty. Her interpretation of the glamorous Chiarina in “Carnival” alone places her in the forefront of contemporary dancers. Eduard Sobishevsky, celebrated male dancer and dazzling technician, is a major figure in the history of the ballet. Mdlee Orlova, celebrated premiere Ballerina, is unique among the young Russian dancers. “Light as Orlova” has become a proverb in dancing circles. Feodor Pellach, from the Odessa Opera House, has travelled with Anna Pavlova. The box plan is at W. G. Perry’s.
