AN ENGLISH BALLET Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony When the “Ballets Russes tie Monte Carlo” come back to London this year their repertory may include an English ballet. Last season’s productions included the American “Union Pacific,” with decorations by an American artist and book by the American poet, Archibald Alacleish. Al. Alassine, the director, believes that his enthusiastic English audience, no less than his New York audience, would like something by one of their own artists, and he has asked Afr. Ben Nicholson to design a ballet based on Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony. Air. Nicholson has much of the talent of his father. Air. William Nicholson, and his uncle, Air. James Pryde. He is one of the chief members of the Modernist group unit one, and though his recent pictures have been eccentric abstractions in dove greys and “off whites” he has his father’s delicious feeling for colour. If he can manage the large scale of Covent Garden as well as the small scale of his earlier still lifes and landscapes his Beethoven ballet should be charming.
