La Guardia sponsored the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo ‘at his City Center of Music and Drama. I used taxis to commute between the two places but even so my feet are sore and my wind is short just from watching all of the artistic roadwork. WR I started off at the Met. I saw Markova (Alicia)~a Briton, nee Marks, called the greatest living ballerina by those who know—and Anton Dolin, another Briton, born Patrick Healey-Kay, do the classi¢ ballet “Giselle” for which Dolin did the choreography. The jammed Met rocked with applause and ‘“bravos” for minutes after the end while the principals took curtain call after curtain call.

The hired hands meanwhile were toting flowers on stage for Markova. (After I saw the same thing happen to Danilova uptown a little later I know there won't be a boutonniere left in town today.) : 1 won't argue with anyone about Markova's greatness. I'll swear her féct never touched the floor, I reached the City Center in time for the big event of the evening, the American premiere of “The Red Poppy,” a product of Soviet Russia, strictly ime the modern idiom and full of social and international implications.
