Lo Ballet Russe

Sweet charms and lyric simplicity are in the eternally youthful images of Pierrot, Arlequin, Colombine and Pierrette—Pierrot, a comedian; Ale-lover. Colombine. unhappily tects Colombine's meetings with Arlequin from her avaricious father and a rich but unsuccessful suitor And then the appearance of a fairy and the triumph of love.

This, with the delightful music of Drigo completes the romantic picture of "Les Millions d'Arlequin."

"Cleopatra" is a vivid contrast. A. story of passion and jealousy, daring love of a handsome Egyptian for the beautiful queen. Life for a moment of passionate pleasure.

These are the two ballets that will be produc.d by Lo Ballet Russe at the Lyceum Theatre on November 26, 27 and 28. Exquisite scenery, costumes and symphony orchestra will contribute to making it a show of unrivalled beauty and distinction.
