RUT U.S. WAR IONDS A STAMPS Ballet Proves 'A Thing of Beauty Boards Squeak but Show Succeeds "A thing of beauty is a joy for ever," writes Keats. And surely the ballet, beautiful in so many aspects, is one of those joys never to be forgotten. Monday night's performance, while very evidently not one of the troupe's most inspired, had enough professional skill behind it to make it a success. The stage fa cilities must have disappointed the artists, for the boards squeaked, but such must be the spice of every tour. The first ballet was The Snow Maiden, with music by Glazounov (a pupil of Rimsky-Korsakoff) and choreography by Bronislava Nijinska, wife of the famed bal let dancer of the early 1900's. Based on Legend. The story, based on an ancient folk legend, tends toward adapta tion in the older classical form, and as a result has much foot and leg work and many still poses. Its beauty aesthetic, its mood refined, it touched the emotions just light ly, coolly graceful, somewhat ab stract, and the hardest of the three ballets to grasp at first view ing. Tatiana Semenova did a clever piece of character work as the crow, while Fredrick Franklin and Igor Youskevitch vied with each particularly appropriate that he assume the same position on the sod of the freshman field. That leaves another guard posi tion open and to fill that we have one who is always on his guard, Phil Kantor. He watches the money bags so well that the edi torial staff hasn't seen the green of the backs he has ostensibly Playing tailback will be Robert Miller. That rounds out the superstruc ure affectionately termed the Daily Nebraskan football aggre gation. It will put on an exhibi tion of football of high calibre and he seats are free. Of course if you buy a war stamp you get a better seat, needless to say. Plus Rag Beauties As for the dazzling beauties .vho surround the sidelines, whose subtle confirmation of lines tends to fulfill all the plans nature had in mind at the beginning, there will be aplenty vociferating on the 50 yard stripe. All in all it looks like a sweep ing victory for the Daily both on land, in the air and on the sidelines. shirts or officers I Simons . . . your official military (Exchange Iiead qnarf crs ... com plete military outfitters. other for male solos. "Bewildered, cold, chaste," the .lovely and fraceful Nathalie Krassovska as the Snow Maiden danced superbly with that kind of restraint that heightens emotion. Music Suits Mood. The second ballet brought a complete change of mood. The music written originally as a sym phonic suite by Rimsky-Korsakoff, and the choreography done by in novator Michel Fokine, Shchera zade is an excellent example of the romantic ballet. Its emotional con tent predominates, finding expres sion in continuous flowing move ment and strong gestures of the whole body. Frederic Franklin as the pas sionate slave and Mia Slavenska as the wilful and dramatic Zobeide danced with great tenseness and emotionalism. This ballet, need less to say, had much greater "au dience appeal." Orchids to the concertmistrcss, who "made" the orchestral per formance. The music was greatly improved over the first number and fitted smoothly and closely with the dancing. Sophisticated Humor. The third and last ballet again changed the mood, this time to one of pert, sophisticated humor. Described as "Count Etienne de Beaumont's frou-frou," Gaite Par isienne abounds in fun, colorful costumes, and virtuoso display. The choreographer, Leonide Mas sine, who is maitre de ballet and "artistic collaborator" for the Monte Carlo troupe, is well shown as a master of choreographic wit and clever showmanship. Alexandra Danilova, probably the most famous member of the cast, made her only appearance of the evening as the fascinating glove-seller. Her dancing was per fection in its ease, its precision, and the quickness of her recover ies. She was well matched by George Zoritch as the glove-seller's adoring attendant. Fredric Frank lin, without doubt an important rising star, again appeared, this time in a new idiom of ballet hu mor. Both the troupe and the orches tra gained momentum with each ballet, as they undoubtedly will with each performance on their tour. But even an early perform ance such as last night's will be remembered as an artistic highlight. filter-national Club Hears Fenn Speak on Chinese Meeting tonight at 7:30 in the Faculty lounge, members of the International Relations club will hear Albert Fenn, Chinese graduate student, speak on the situation in China.
