by kwm scot i there was great excitement here last night everyone was rushing around trying to get their hair in place gloves pressed making sure slips were not showing and forever glancing in the mirror to sec all was still as well as thirty seconds ago one would almost think there was something special going on well there was the alma girls were going to the ballet at the grand theatre in london we planned to go early in or der to get our reserved tickets and seats ahead of the rush our scats weer in the 1st row of the balcony and from there we had a full view of the ladies and gentlemen com ing in there were ladies with floor length gowns men with tails followed by kerchiefed women and public school girls then the er mine followed by rabbits follow ed by the minks and then fancy cocklailttcngth dresses followed by skirts and blouses one of the things that made me laugh quite heartily was when one woman came in wearing a full length dress and in order to go down the stairs to the loges she lifted her dress to see where her feet were going when she raised the hemline a few inches i looked down expect ing to see a pair of gold embroid ered evening shoes what was she wearing to my surprise a pair of high fur lined overboots as we sat watching the people coming in i recognized a few women that i met at western university and others that attended the lon don symphony concerts and also a camp friend from this summer past while we sat waiting for the performancetostart theorchestra was down below tuning up their trin and reds it reminded ie of a swamp on a hot summer night with the piccolos taking the oart of the grasshoppers and the viola the place of the frogs the lights went down the orchestra leader appeared and everyone stood while the drum rolled for the queen when everyone was settled their places the overture for giselle began the murmuring of the audience indicated the con cern for the star celia franca who was reported to have a bad cold and all wondered whether or not she would be dancing opening night the curtain went up on a stage set with a peasant scene of the early days including a little cottage wood shed and a flower ed background when the stars appeared there was a great round of applause they danced through the first act which was a love scene of david adams who took the part of the duke albrecht and the peasant girl giselle por trayed b miss franca the scene ends in tragedy when giselle dies act two was beautiful it was set at the scene of giselles grave and albrecht comes with flowers and finds her spirit dancing the two dance together and then gis tile returns to her grave and heart broken albrecht collapcs as the curtain falls the audience gave a tremendous ovation and during numerous curtain calls a beauti ful bouquet of roses was presented to miss franca by david dams b the time the audience had let the curtain fall for the lat time i had ploughed my wa o the lobby a tall gentleman was selling programmes and i fought m way over to him to make a purchase the smoke in the outer lobby was so think one would have to cut their way through in order to make the door outside the theatre there is a little coffee shop and i headed there for re freshmenls and i decided it would be better to stay there and keep out the cold instead of standing in the smokefilled lobby bark in my scat again i was am used by an usher coming and go ing calling for miss mary marsh all paging miss mary marshall i happened to notice quite a commotion in the same aisle in which 1 was sitting there had been a tragedy jane a girl from peru had fallen down the stairs and ripped the heel off her shoe ftv the amount of commotion ar ound her seat one would think the national guard was necessary i offered my assistance and sug nested 1 takethe shoe downstairs and see if anyone had a hammer with which to fix il i left the ihoe with one of the ushers and gave htm directions as to the whereabouts of the owner paging miss mary marshall the lights went off and the cur tain went up on offenbach in the underworld the scene was in an old fashion ed pub in france in the early 19th century with a little old woman washing glasses behind a bar the whole dance was for amusement only with no plot no story or suspense the speed of the dance never let up until the end when the last straggler dragged himself from the room the co very gaudy with oranges reds purples and pinks all mixed into one with the scenery with the final curtain four of my friends and i went down to the stage door autograph hunting with dav id adams as our goal tht door wai shut tight and we vtrc politel told that the ptrfoi nan were changing and our chan ccs for ucclss wen slim ju hen jane a unclt firl viuliniai and assistant conductor of the or chestra appeared on the scene and offered to take the programmes back stage to have them signed if we could wait about half an hour while he went through chan nets we couldnt some of the girls
