PAGE SIX HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON Novr-mb'er 21. 1042 t v i Three Ballets Are Chosen for Klamath "Gaite Parisienne," "Snow Maiden" and "Scheherazade" Named by Ballet Russe Artists Members of the Klamath Community Concert association, anticipating with a great deal of pleasure the appearance here of the Ballet Russe dc Monte Carlo, are particularly happy to learn of the three ballets to be presented the night of Tuesday, December the eighth on the Pelican theatre stage. The three will be "The Snow Maiden," "Gaite Parisienne," and "Schehe razade." The stories of these ballets will appear the week before the concert in order that they will be fresh in the minds of those planning to enjoy the gay event. Suspense is growing, for the glittering and glamorous Ballet Raise de Monte Car lo. Soon local ballet lovers will be laughing, chuckling, touched, aroused by the strik ing works that go to make up the repertoire of this most celebrated of all ballet com panies. And as the ballet lov er sighs in anticipation, he visualizes myriads of lovely girls in those hip-encircling powder puffs known as tu-tus, or he dreams of his favorite ballerina in her favorite tour-de-force. The ballerina and her fem inine cohorts are, however, only half the show. Men have played and con tinue to play extremely im portant roles in the spectacu lar world of the ballet. If the success of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo may be said to be due to any individual, that individual is a man with the name of Massine. As a' dancer, Leonide Massine in vests a role with subtle shad ings of character; he decor ates it with technical bril liance; and he has more genu ine style in the movement of one hand than most dancers possess in their entire bodies, His dashing, romantic Hussar in "Le Beau Danube" is one of the high water marks in ballet, and his portrayal of Saint Francis seems to cleanse and elevate the spirit. As a choreographer, his ec clecticism has enabled him to produce ballets so diverse that they appeal to religious organizations, lovers, of the symphony, children, romantics and "the bald-headed row." As artistic director -of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, he is responsible for that fine fusion of art and entertain ment which marks ballet at its finest. The young male performers of this company give stiff competition to the glamour girls, for the ladies cannot hope to match them, or to equal the sheer physical force, the gravity-defying elevation, the dramatic athleticism of the men. Regrettably, Ameri cans often sneer at the male ballet dancer - sometimes with reason. But the reason has to-do with things that have nothing to do with bal let; things that are merely hangovers from the affected etiquette of a monarchial court In the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, the male danc ers maintain the technical tra ditions of the past, but have modernized their ballet with the style of the aihletic Amer ican present. The danseur noble of this company is Igor Youskevitch, and his roles require a height ened, . exaggerated romanti cism that is a far cry from twentieth century America; but because of his flawless technique, his personal re serve, his understanding of the "period" element of his roles, he never once suggests effeminacy. He makes his charaoters of the realm of im agination, and one does' hot see him as a male dancer do ing this or that, but as a story book character come to life for a brief theatrical mo ment. Youskevitch's life has been no dream, for, in his earlier days, he laid railway ties, . spent months wielding a scythe, walked the tight rope, and swung acrobatically from trapezes in a circus. Obvious ly, it takes a he-man to be a classic dancer of the first or der, and Youskevitch believes that this youthful training in the use of muscles has been of inestimable value to his dancing.
