Dancers Take Bows As Ballet Makes Big Hit With Overflow Audience
"At just what bookstore did you buy your engineering supplies?"
By NORMA HUNSINGER
An enthusiastic audience of 4000 greeted the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlos in its first performance here Monday night. The dancers, collectively and individually, were called back for bows again and again, and were interrupted several times with applause after particularly outstanding demonstrations of skill and technique.
In spite of a siick and treacherous floor, caused by a recent double coating of varnish, the dancers whisked and skidded through a difficult program without notable miscue.
Coffee shop comment after the performance by several of the dancers hinted that the floor was more dangerous than either the audience or the troupe suspected.
One of the most unusual programs to be offered on the concert course this year, the ballet group from France presented works of modern, classical, and American idiom for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Four ballets were presented."Mozariana." "Cirque de Deux." "Pas de Quarte," and "Le Beau Danube." All four were performed authoritatively, and the "Pas de Quarte," especially was finely integrated and expertly done.
"Mozartiana," an orchestral arrangement of Mozart piano pieces by Tschalkowsky, is a gay and airy ballet. It begins with the vivacious dance by a young man, who is joined by a group of peasant girls to dance a minuet. Two classical dancers appear for a brilliant dance and then a slow and majestic adagio; the entire ensemble appears for a commanding finale. Outstanding in the number was the solo dance by Yvonne Cheutteau. Graceful and finished, her style and dramatic instinct was impressive.
The witty and stylish "Cirque de Deux" is the first choreographic work by Ruthanna Boris, who also danced the principal female role in the ballet. The music is from "Faust" by Gound and is used for a background to a classical interpretation of the circus. It was beautifully and cleverly done, and the grace and coordination which personifies ballet was outstanding in the movements of Yvonne Chouteau and Frank Hobi as well as Miss Boris.
The "Pas de Quarte" is a collection of solos and ensembles for four ballerinas and was perhaps the best of all the ballets. It was first performed in 1845 before Queen Victoria and only recently was rewritten and used again. The whole ballet is meant to be primarily beautiful and stylistic; each dancer has a solo dance in which to show her particular skill in technique and interpretation. This number had a little more finesse and was more smooth and controlled than any of the other ballets.
"Le Beau Danube," a story of old Vienna, was expressive and very well produced. The whole plot was portrayed unmistakably by the dancers, and although it seemed to move rather slowly at times, the combination of Johann Strauss' "Blue Danube" and the excellent choreography by Leonide Massine was effective and arresting. Miss Alexandra Danilova, prima ballerina, made her first appearance in this number. Her portrayal of the street dancer was authentic and spirited.
The backing up of gesture and dramatic action by the orchestra was superb. This synthesis of music, movement, and setting which goes with ballet is one of the most attractive things about it. Paul Strauss, the 30-year-old conductor, seems to know exactly what he is doing at all times, and keeps the orchestra in almost perfect complement to the dancer's movements.
The company was started 10 years ago in Monte Carlo, France, and has since appeared in tours all over the world.

Only 2,000 Take Free Flu Shots
Fewer than 2,000 influenza vaccinations have been given to faculty and students by the University Health service. Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the health service, said today he expected more people to take the shots and would like to give at least 5,000 by the end of this week.
The vaccination station will be in Frank Strong hall tomorrow and Thursday and at Marvin hall Friday. After Friday shots will be given at Watkins hospital.
Dr. Cauteson said the reason for the lack of interest by the students and faculty may be because there is no threat of influenza right now. He warned, "We can't have nice fall weather much longer and there will be illness when cold weather comes. When that time comes the people with flu shots can feel secure against influenza."
One person has reported to Watkins hospital with a reaction to the vaccination. Dr. Canutelson said. "He had a very small spot on his arm and his temperature was normal."
KU Grad Starts Oak Ridge Paper
Alfred G. Hill, '18, former student reporter and secretary of the University Alumni association, is reported by Newsweek to be starting a daily newspaper at Oak Ridge, Tenn., atomic industry city of 36,000
Hill's new paper will not publish news that involves atomic secrets, unless it is approved by headquarters. He will report births, deaths, marriages, and local articles about everyday doings.
Mr. Hill was urged by government representatives to undertake the Oak Ridge venture. The government wants a newspaper to raise the morale of the workers on the atomic project. The town has had a weekly newspaper and for a few weeks a daily but now has none.
The new paper may be called The Ridger and is expected to begin publication about Jan. 1.
After leaving the Alumni office here, Hill published the Arkansas City Traveler. Later he went to Colorado. He owned newspapers in Nebraska and went east to publish the Jamestown, N.Y. Post-Journal.

A public meeting of the council to discuss Israel's refusal to give up newly-captured positions in northern and southern Palestine was postponed indefinitely.
