The gitanas are mingling among the men of the concert hall, and the flower girls are plying their trade. La Macarena, so named because she is the idol of the quarter of Seville famous for its great dancers, is one of the Cuadro Flamenco and the curtain rises discovering the audience under the spell of her song. When she finishes, the other dancers of the group each take her turn. Then Lalanda enters in full regalia and is persuaded to recount his afternoon's triumphs in the Plaza de Toros. L Macarena comes back into the cafe and Lalanda who has long been her ardent suitor, demands an answer. He promises to buy her the most beautiful shawl in all Seville if she will promise to marry him. She agrees, and he goes to the shawl merchant next door, returning with a chest full of gorgeous fabrics. He offers them to her one by one-the fifth and last wins her. The entire assemblage celebrates their betrothal in typical gypsy manner.

IV. The Vision of the Aissoua. An Algerian Dance Drama.

(Created and produced by Ruth St. Denis. Choreography by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn. Costumes are original pieces secured by Mr. Shawn in North Africa, and supplemented by creations of Pearl Wheeler. Decorative panels by Nino Ronchi. Music especially composed by R.S. Stoughton).

Scene I. The Mosque of Sidi Okba near Biskra.

Scene II. The House of Fatma, a coffee house in Algiers.

     The Story: A girl of the tribe of the Ouled Nayil loves a youth who is poor. She, according to the custom of her tribe, must be sold into the cafes of Algiers to dance and earn money for the tribe. The boy and girl part sadly, and the youth, in his reaction and disappointment, enters the Mosque and becomes a fanatic devotee, an Aissoua, which is a sort of dervish. In the Mosque we see him performing a dance of frenzy which is designed to produce a form of hysteria. He falls unconscious and in his trance state, his boyhood sweetheart appears to him as a houri of the Mohammedan paradise. She dances and tells him to come to a certain coffee house in Algiers which goes by the name of "The House of Fatma."

     In the second scene, we see the girls of the different parts of North Africa who have been gathered together for the entertainment of the wealthy Arabs. Each girl does the dance of her own tribe. Sheiks and other rich natives come and go, and are served with sweetmeats and coffee. The young Aissoua comes warily in, finds his own beloved and persuades her to flee with him into the desert.

Anna Pavlowa Incomparable Ballet Dancer and Her Company Including Volinine and Novikoff One Week Com. Wednesday Eve. March 11

     Pavlowa's visit to America this season, announced as the dancer's final in this country, has eclipsed in public artistic interest, all of her former engagements. Bringing with her, direct from the Champs Elysees, Paris, and Covent Garden, London, upwards of twenty different productions, Pavlowa's repertoire comprises also two-score divertissements, both solo and ensemble.

     Pavlowa's Ballet Russe and Orchestra numbers nearly one hundred artists. This total is this season replete with new dancers and new personalities, and it will interest devotees of the ballet to know that the Incomparable Anna has brought two distinguished dancing partners with her instead of one. Alexandre Volinine, who, it is recalled, toured America with Mme. Pavlowa some few years back, now alternates with M. Laurent Novikoff in the pri(n)cipal masculine characters of the ballets.

     Three new and gorgeous ballet productions have also been added to Pavlowa's already astonishing repertoire. They are: "Don Quixote," a presentation with which the dancer recently opened her London engagement at Covent Garden-a Spanish creation with scenes laid in the Land of the Dons; "Romance of a Mummy," with a new and romantic story of the Royal Tombs of Egypt; "La Fille mal Gardee," (Sans Chaperon), from the humorous French story, "The Unprotected Damsel." Pavlowa also had designed and executed new scenic and costuming effects for the revival of such favorite ballets as "Invitation to the Dance," "Flora's Awakening," and "Coppelia," (first act) and these likewise are being performed on tour.

     The popular ballets, "Chopinianna," "Fairy Doll," "Snow Flakes," "Magic Flute," "Amarilla," "Oriental Impressions," "Les Preludes," "Visions" (from "The Sleeping Beauty"), "Old Russian Folklore," and other favorites are comprised in Pavlowa's repertoire. 10.
