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.
