BALLET RUSSE ATTENDED
The greater Ballet Eusse de Monte Carlo presented
two programs in Page Auditorium, Duke University, on
November 21, afternoon and evening performances.
The matinee, which a group of Saint Mary’s students
attended, consisted of three ballets. “Coppelia,” with
which the program opened, is the original “doll valet,”
its alternate title being “The Girl With the Enamel
Eyes.” Other ballets on the afternoon program were
“Spectre de la Eose,” a briefer classical composition
danced by Nini Theilade, a Danish-Javanese artist of
great style and delicacy, and Eoland Guerard; and
“Prince Igor,” an elaborate and colorful ballet com
posed of the spirited Polovtsian dances from Borodin’s
opera of the same name.
Quite a number of the faculty attended the evening
performance, which was made up of the famous
“Giselle” and “Gaite Parisienne,” the famous Leonide
Massine being the Perumon in the latter.
The two performances practically defy analysis or
description by an amateur reporter. Suffice it to say,
we shall long remember the beauty of the Ballet Eusse
Avhen we have forgotten many another exciting expe
rience.
The famous company consists of 65'dancers, exclu
sive of its technical crew and wardrobe mistresses, num
bering 35. It also has its own accompanying orchestra
and a small menagerie of pets. For three days last week
this international company appeared in Philadelphia in
joint performances with the Philadelphia Orchestra.
MR.S. GORDON INSPIRES Y. P. S. L.
The November 13 meeting of the Young People’s
Service League was made especially interesting by the
presence of Mrs. W. J. Gordon, President of the
Woman’s Auxiliary of the Diocese of North Carolina.
She spent the following week speaking at devotional
meditations at the Good Shepherd Church. Mrs. Goi-
don is better known to the students of Saint Marys^as
the mother of Laura Gordon, President of the Junior
Class.
Mariana Hancock, President of the Y. P. S. L., intro
duced Mrs. Gordon, who began her talk by asking the
students, “Just what do you intend to do with your
life?” Her interj)retation of this question was con
cerned with the spiritual life of each girl, a view which
she defined clearly. “It is your duty to be not only a
•success outwardly, but also to achieve much in your
inward, or spiritual, life” was the inspiring theme of
her talk. She undoubtedly left each student greatly
impressed by what she sincerely believed important in
the life of every girl at Saint Mary’s.
