BalletWill Perf r14 Times In aT n Day tayBy Edward Barry.

The day after Christmas the Bal-let Russe de Monte Carlo will moveinto the AUditorium theater for a 10 Iday 14 performance engagement. De-spite transit and visa difficUlties oc-casioned by the war the company'spersonnel-at least as regards theprincipals-remains virtually intact.The repertoire here will comprise 20 Iballets, of which six have never be-fore been seen in Chicago.This company is composed partly

of dancers who cast their lot with ILeonide Massine in the Massine-DeBasil spl itup of two years ago and Ipartly of dancers whom Mr. Massinelater engaged to fill out his roster.Among those who were familiar here Iduring the 1933-'38 tours of theDe Basil ballet and who are membersof the group scheduled to arrive nextweek are Alexandra Danilova, IgorYouskevitch, Roland Guerard, MarcPlatoff, and George Zoritch-as wellas Mr. Massine himself, who is the'company's artistic director. AliciaMarkova, Mia Slavenska, Nini Theil-ade, Nathalie Krassovska, and Fred.eric Franklin will be remembered fortheir successful appearances here lastseason on the occasion of the firstvisit of the reorganized company.Andre Eglevsky toured with the oldergroup in 1933 and 1934, and is nowwith the Massine company. EfremKurtz, who has been conducting theballets' performances for years, holdsthe title of musical director.

• • •So much for the identity of the

company. As to the repertoire, majorinterest na t-u r a Ll v re-sides in thesix n o v e l-ties. " GhostTow n,"s c h e duledto be un-veiled at theballet's veryfirs t per-formance, isAmericanin set t ingand in au-tho I' ship.The piecetells thestory of themodernhitch-hlkerswho come upon the site of VirginiaCity, Nev., and find it inhabited onlyby a single old prospector. However,the old prospector's stories of otherdays-when Virginia City was a hardfighting, hard drinking, free spendinggold rush community-so work uponthe imaginations of the hitch-hikersthat the town as it used to be seemsto come to life before their eyes.The choreography is by Marc

Platoff who, despite his name, is Cal-ifornia born. Richard Rodgers wrotethe music. Decor and costumes arethe work of Raoul Pene du Bois,New York designer, whose bestknown recent achievement was thesets and costumes for the Acquacadeat the New York fair." Devil's Holiday," due Dec. 27,

concerns Satan's strange stroll on thestreets of Venice, where, disguised asa rich visitor, he amuses himself, likethe meanie that he is, by meddlingwith human Iives and loves. Choreog-raphy is by the Englishman, Fred-erick Ashton. The music is Tomma-slni's, with a Paganini base.

Igrouchki" tells of the unrequitedlove of a farmer boy for a goose girl.The choreography is based on Fokineand the music has been extractedfrom Rimsky-Korsakoff's fantasy onRussian themes. The remainingnovelty that night is "Capriccio Es-pagnole," with more of Rimsky.Ko;-sakoff's music. The choreography ISthe result of the collaboration ofArgetinita, the renowned Spanishdancer, and Mr. Massine. The balletis a series of dances drawn fromvarious parts of Spain.On Dec. 28 "Rouge et Noir," based

on Shostakovich's First symphony,will receive its first Chicago show-ing. Massine's choreography repre-sents the struggle of various forcesto control the soul of man. Scenerylind costumes are the work of no lessIt person than Henri Matisse."Bacchanale," due Dec. 29, is the

widely publicized surrealist balietwhose settings, costumes, and gener,:lidea were furnished by Salvador Da~l.It concerns King Ludwig of BavarIa[Wagner's patron] and his hallucina-tions.

By C cil Smith.Except for a few post- season ad-

denda noted in another column, the1939 Chicago City Opera companyseason ended formally with lastnight's repetition of Charpentier's" Louise." This is, therefore, theproper time to look backward overthe seven week period and, in cheer-ful holiday mood, to pin a few orchidson some or the people responsible forthe best achievements of the season.Even though it may make my list

of tributes incomplete, I must confinemy observations to the performancesI actually attended-a limitation thatarbitrarily excludes about one-fifth ofthe season's total. If your pet en-thusiasm does not appear in the fol-lowing list. be sure that the perform-ance fell on a night when duty calledme elsewhere.

• •My tokens of appreciat ion are of

three classes, corresponding to thehonorary degrees often awarded bycolleges to their graduates. In thecourse of the season I found the fol-lowing participants especially worthyof praise and gratitude:

Summa cum laude [with highesthonor] :To Henry \Veber, for taking over

the musical direction of the companyat a difficult and insecure moment,and for tightening its musical stand-ards in discernible fashion week byweek; for conducting Verdi's ••IITrovatore," probably the finest per-formance in his career as conductor,in a manner that restored a muchneglected work to its rtghttul placeas a masterpiece of Italian dramaticmusic; for possessing the artisticcourage to cancel a performance ofVerdi's" Falstaff" that could not be

fa. made ready to refiect credit on theits company within the allotted time.

By the Rev. John Evans.[How are umr;el'sities rated for sz-

cellences If you need help in select-ing the right school for your childrenread the book, "Higher Education/'by Dr. John Evans of the Tribnnestaff. On sale at Tribune Public Serv-ice offices, 1 South: DearbOrn streetand Tribune Tower, J,.35 North Michi-gan avenue. Price, 10 cents. By post-paid mail, 1:1 cenrs.l

Altho controversy is still raging asto the value of ratings in Who's Whoin America, yet there is no institu-tion of higher learning but does notwelcome the recognition. When, how-ever, it comes to comparative alumnirating, the fact that the majorityrecorded in Who's Who is male, actsadversely to the co-educational col.lege, and favors those universities ofolder standing, which is why Harvardand Yale lead in the ranking ofalumni rating.But at that, the University of Illl-

nois has increased its alumni record-ing in Who's Who by 50 per cent inthe last 10 years, being surpassed onlyby Chicago, California, and Yale. Thisis a good showing when it is remem-bered that the University of Illinoiswas founded in 1868, and not until1890 did its student enrollment passthe 1,000 mark.Illinois' ranking in alumni rating

is revealed in a study by BeverlyW. Kunkel of Lafayette college andDonald B. Prentice published in theeducational journal School and So-ciety. Harvard ranks first with 5.81per cent of its alumni listed and theUniversity of Illinois is 75th, with 0.39per cent recorded.The study shows that from tax sup-

ported institutions in the aggregate,the percentage of alumni in Who'sWho is 0.74 per cent as comparedwith 2.2 per cent from the endoweduniversities. Both these groups, how-ever, show a decrease in the numberof alumni listed compared with 1928-0.4 for the former and 1.31 per centfor the latter group.Three interesting statistical facts

to be derived from the Kunkel-Pren-tice study are:1. One-third of the college and unl-

versity graduates listed in the 1938Who's Who were born in the centralstates;2. The number of alumni listed, who

attended central states educationalinstitutlons, increased from 27 percent in 1928 to 31 per cent in 1938;3. Over the same period, alumni

The ultimate goal is $225,-000 and to reach this 4,000 workers,clergy and laity, have been enrolledfor a campaign under the directionof Henry P. Scott. The local churcheshave been set a quota, and to dateabout 300 congregations, about 25 per,cent of the state total, have qualified.These figures were reported at It
