Item description from seller

Original publisher's multicolored paper wrappers with staple binding. Color illustration on front cover shows a stylized depiction of a knight holding a sword and shield. No date, circa 1936. 9 1/2" x 12." Unpaginated, all pages, complete. Illustrations in black-and-white and color (most in black-and-white; several color illustrations in center), complete. Many advertisements for various products and businesses included. A thin vertical strip of paper is bound in before Alexandra Danilova's portrait illustration (this may have been where another page was or it may simply be a stub, in which case no pages are missing). Pages are very clean and intact except for light age toning. Covers are very clean and intact except for light age toning and slight wear and wrinkling to extremities. A Very Good copy. This is an original program for Ballets Russes de Monte-Carlo (not to be confused with Ballet Russe de Monte-Carlo) for Season 1936-1937 (4th American Season). The following are some of the contents: introductory statements for the current season and black-and-white photographic portrait illustrations of S. Hurok, Leonide Massine, Lubov Tchernicheva, David Lichine, Alexandra Danilova, Irina Baronova, Tatiana Riabouchinska, Tamara Toumanova, Yurek Shabelevsky, Nina Verchinina, Tamara Grigorieva, Olga Morosova, Eugenie Delarova, Paul Petroff, and Roman Jasinsky. Some of the advertised products or businesses in this program: Capehart, Caron, French Railways, Coty, The Stevens hotel in Chicago, Koret, Helena Rubinstein, Pinaud, Padinox, Guerlain, and French Line. Ballets Russes de Monte-Carlo and the similarly named Ballet Russe de Monte-Carlo were the successors to Serghei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Ballets Russes de Monte-Carlo was formed in 1931 by Wassily de Basil (commonly referred to as Colonel W. de Basil) and Rene Blum. Ballets Russes de Monte-Carlo was renamed Original Ballet Russe after de Basil and Blum parted ways (Blum's company became the aforementioned Ballet Russe de Monte-Carlo). Original Ballet Russe remained active until 1947. Notably, impresario Sol Hurok came to manage both de Basil's Original Ballet Russe and Blum's Ballet Russe de Monte-Carlo.
