A Very Good copy. This is a promotional program for Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, a ballet company, for Season 1947-1948. The following are some of the contents: the company's repertoire or repertory with synopses (may be a partial list); concept art; and black-and-white photographic portrait illustrations of Alexandra Danilova, Frederic Franklin, Nathalie Krassovska, Leon Danielian, Ruthanna Boris, and Mary Ellen Moylan. Some of the advertised products and businesses: Capehart, Coty, Caron, Elizabeth Arden, Gainsborough, Flexees, Melrose, Juilliard Virgin Wool, and Foreman fabrics. Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo (not to be confused with one of its predecessors, Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo) was founded in 1938 by Leonide Massine and Rene Blum. Blum and Colonel Wassily de Basil had formerly led the Ballets Russes company but parted ways in 1934. Following this, de Basil and Blum went on to form their own companies, Original Ballet Russe and Les Ballets de Monte Carlo, respectively. When Massine joined in 1938, Les Ballets de Monte Carlo was renamed Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo remained in business until 1968.
