By MAXINE BUREN Post mortems on performances are more enlightening than pre views. Wednesday night a Salem au- dience saw a performance by the best com pany- of ballet dancers ' on the stage today, the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. The ;most pre tentious com- j pany ever to j favor Salem with a perform ance was so jnuch enjoyed, that members of the audience haven't yet stopped criticizing it, or this poor writer who wrote a "cold" review. Hearts of those of us who think of ballet in terms of the strict Russian form, where white full skirted dancers float ; across the stage with tip-toe grace, warmed at the first number, "The Magic Swan." T a m a r a Toumanova, prima ballerina, pirouetted and whirled with exquisite perfection to the strains of Tchaikowsky's best But all was not well in the chorus. The technique of Tou manova and her male partners could not overshadow: for the av erage onlooker, that one diminu- live uaiuci Yvtiu niiit us the rest were down,; and down when she should have been up. What difference does it make whether the dancer was a last minute substitute whether she .had had a recent sorrow or if she was dancing with a broken leg for that matter-there was a reason, and "there were 99 others who danced perfectly. Maybe here's a chance for in- trospection, we are tuned so sen sitively to imperfections. Those who knew dancing I find, had eyes only for the perfectly con trolled dancers, and; knew that they were seeing (maybe for the last time) the greatest represen tatives of the old school ballet performing as no one has ever danced in this town before. "Scheherazade," one of the The East Keizer f Kensington sewing club met at the home of Mrs. Lester Evans on Friday af ternoon. . The time Was spent in . sewing and embroidery. Mrs. Otto Beaty received a birthday . gift from the club members. The hostess, assisted by Mrs. Dan Miller, served a luncheon. Present were Dora Pender- graf, Margaret Mudge, Lettie Sears, Amy Sears, Violet Heath, Marian Bronson, Anna Beaty, Beryl Poole, Ethel Meslay, Christine Bartruff.1 Annabelle Miller, little Delight Evans and Marie Evans. . :.

' WOODBUKN Wtrthnr ChapeUe 1 was married January 6 in Fres ' no to Miss Margery . Clark. school, teacher of St - Helens. They are now- making; their home hi Fresno where Mr. Cha pelle has a government job. ' Maxlne Buren 3, "'OS most looked for of all the num bers, can find no equal for color and perfection of presentation. Frankly the committee in choos ing it, wondered if this number might not be a little sophisti cated for our townspeople. Those who understood it enjoyed it im mensely, those who did not also thought it excellent The stage was a might small for the choral numbers to look their best, but the fine work of the solo dancers was unhampered ' by lack of space. Andre Edlevsky is ac claimed as the world's finest athletic dancer. His physique is perfect, and his grace certainly superb. Alexandra Danilova, she of the . beautiful legs, had little chance for actual dancing, and her cos tume gave no clue to her ex ploited beauty, of figure. But in "Gaiete Parisienne," lively and bubbling final num ber, Danilova as the glove seller showed legs, figure and dancing ability to the audience's sheer delight. With her partner, Fred erick Franklin (a former Port land . man) she whirled, and waltzed and glided to prove the absolute truth of her flattering press notices. She and Touma noya, as the. "flower girl, were at their best. ' Most everyone liked that final number best, with its black stockinged can-can dancers, pretty "cocodettes" and gallant soldiers. Leonide Massine, artis tic director of the company, as Peruvian, danced in his whimsi cal fashion, so much appreciated by those who know his perform ance. ' Someone asked me to ..write what I really thought of the Ballet Russe do Monte Carlo. Ssh ... I loved it!
