Gotshaiks Ballet Well Received Here

A large audience iii. the Prince Edward Theatre last evening were enthusiastic in their applause for the Gotshalics Ballet and for tlie accompanist Alfred stromlbergs.

Sponsored by the Prince Edward Island Arts and Crafts Guild. Irene Apine and Jury Gotslialks made their initial appearance hero in a. program of classical ballet nilmbers. Outstanding riumibers performed by the young ballet stars were “Oriental fiance" and “Voices of Spring". in both of these dances the team scorned to tcll its story without effort and with s grace that was fascinating to watch.

Irene Apine lived up to advance notices in the ease with which she executed continuous pirouettes, and her flawless technique speaks well for the years spent under the iii- struction of Harry Plucis, her Latvian ballet master.

Although lie did hot seem quite happy at the beginning of the Welling. due perhaps to the slop- ing stage floor. Jury Gowhalks won his way into the hearts cf the audience with his travelling leaps. and with the precision with which he executed his leaps and double turns from n. standing position.

A high spot of the evening was the playing of Alfred Strombergs especially in his brilliant “Fire Dance" ivblch he partially repeated as an encore.

The Arts and Grafts Guild are in be commended on bringing these artists to Charlottetown, rind it is hoped that this concert will only be the first of many.

During the intermission the painting by Joyce Noiblo was drawn for by Miss Kitty Gass, and wori by Mrs. S. Giddings of Char- lottctown.

Following is the evening's pro- gram: "Adagio" by A. Nevin with choreography by I. Apine and J Gotshalks; "Tarantella" by G. Rossini, choreography by H. Strom- bergs; Variations from "Swan Lake’ by P. Ticbaikowski. choreo- graphy by L. Ivariov; "Intermezzo" by A. Kruger-Hanschrnan. choreo- graphy by E. Lcschewsky; Piano solo by Alfred Sircmbergs "Ini- proniptu in E Flat Major" by F Schubert; "Oriental Dance" by A. Leschewslty, choreography by A Slromibergs; “Pas dc Dcux" by 1.. Mincus from the ballet “Don Quiciiote", choreography by C). Letmanis; ‘Piano solo by Alfred Stromlborgs "Fire Dance" by M. DeFalla; "Illusion" by F. Grote, choreography by E. Leschewsks’;

and “Voices of Spring" by .1. Strauss, choreography by O. Lie-mania.

Mr. and Mrs. Gotshalks stated

that they are on an extended toiii- and will appear in lvfoncton with eighteen of their students wlicii they present the 2nd art of "Swan Lake" carly in February.

Address on Burns

Following is s. summary of Pru-

fessor MaoKinnons address on Burns: “Burns‘ youth," the speaker

emphasized, "was taken up with the hard work of the farm. the pleas- ure aind fellowship with local country boys. and courtships with

He wrote many verses during his youth about little incidents which occurred, and about the life and traditions of the countryside.

"Why is Burns beloved! Why do we celebrate his birthday? It was not because of any great ad- ventures in his own life. lt was not because of the sheer beauty of his poems alone; others such as Wordsworth and Tennyson have ivrittcn as well; ll. ivas not be- cause of the weight of his think~ ing or of his historical accounts; Shakespeare, in this way. was more successful. It was not be- cause of his love for Scotland and his description of hcr gran- deur. for Scott contributed as much.

"Burns is beloved because his understanding of man his worth, and his appreciation oi the real values of life. Burns reaches into the depths of our feelings and lays bare the great- ness and failings of human na- ture. His own life is a part his poetry, urea and troubles enabled him to wriic with power and feeling cu the joys and sorrows of life and on human nature. These he passes on to us. He indulged in both sides of life - the quiet life of the countryside and the gay pleasures of Edinbungh. Burns the poet and Burns in life was a man with all the strengths and weaknesses of human nature. For it, his contemporary friends lov- ed him, and for ii men have loved him since."

After giving a iiunibcr of quota- tions from Burns’ poems, Mr. McKinnon stated: "The real nies- sage of Burns which lasted down through generations is the fact lhatwcfindreal appreciation and goodness in the simple things in life—— not in the vain or petty pursuits of wealth, power and amtbition, but in the enjoyment of something which is near to all of us whatever our position iri life —- the homo l-nd family. 1n his great poem The Cutters Sot- urday Night he shows us the humble cotztager coming home to his wife and bairns anticipating the frugal meal st his scanty board. but enjoying the cherish- ed affection of his loved ones, and sharing with them the lessons of the family bible. There is no greater verse in the English language than the famous pas- sage which reveals the foundation of the family life of the Cotter. "Then homeward sill take off their
