It claims Nijinska’s Russian Ballet includes principals of Diaghilev’s Company and names all ten dancers.
It declares that performaners will include Sports & Touring Ballet Revue, A Night on a Bare Mountain, Le Guignol, Humoresque, Holy Etudes and a Divertissement. The Entertainer, Arthur Russell, who appeared with the company to provide entertainment between the ballets is also identified. The programme has not been verified but these appear to be the works which were presented at the last venues on the tour.
Unusually it notes in small that the ‘Choreographic Compositions and Librettos’ are by Nijinska, Premier Danseuse of the Imperial Opera House, St. Peterburg. Costumes are designed by Alexander [sic] Exter, Chief Scenic Artist of the Moscow Theatre and executed by Maison Pascaud, Paris.
