' '§ T By Marion BarlowI Paviowa is making her farewell tour of America, and Ann Arbor is to be inc.ued in her itinerary. Thurs- (lay evening of this week she will appear at the Whitney theatre. The program is tc 'e in three parts, the first of which will be a revival of A he "Coppelia" ballet, with music by f )elibes. The story of Coppelia con- cerns a mechanical doll, distinguished from the other dolls in, the shop in that she was believed to be the daugh-' ter of her creator, so perfect was her construction, Coppelia never left the house oft Coppelius, the. doll maker, and no one has ever heard her speak. She was1 so carefully aguarded that the curios- ity of .the nighbor's wag aroused. Young men suceunled to her charms,I but she was always adored from afar: I Though she inspired emotions of a human sort,-these emotions .bein curiosty and love, she remained in her unique and mysterious position as an unknown .lady. Swanhilda, a neighbor girl, looked upon Coppelia with jealousy; for Franz, she believed was in love with; the doll. Coppelius was amused, and Coppelia ever aloof. The lover's quar- rel, which followed as a result of Swanhilda's jealousy and the wrath of Franz upon being. mistrusted, was consummated at a celebration held in honor of the Lord of the Manor.

You sit within the dark- ened theatre before the space in whichI the light will play. There is a com- -'Iplete silence; and presently you be- come aware of a proscenium opening. Impalpable forms appear at the sides; x they are pale, almost white, they move in a slow, waving rhythm like soft curtains; you see one alone and you see others moving in it and through it. ' A faint blue fades into depths be- I tween these forms; and then sudden- ly in the center of it far away a crim- " son appears. It has no form; - it.. radiates from its own depths, and is the image of nothing but crimson and z its power.
