Second half, with the famous, beautiful waltz with Frederic Franklin's Baron and Milada Mladova as the Glove Seller.

Andre Eglevsky comes soaring in as the dance master at 2'28, launching the Can Can, the ballet concludes with the barcarolle.

  • You're welcome!

    It was in a set with two versions of The Maltese Falcon. Hard to locate if you just look for The Gay Parisian. Search for a set with The Maltese Falcon.

    Good luck.

  • I'm really happy you liked it. I've posted some other videos with dancers connected with the Ballet Russe - David Lichine, in Spring Night, was married to one of the Baby Ballerinas, choreographed and danced with BR.

    Nini Theilade, who was featured in the BR documentary, is in a video in which she is seen dancing in that film.

    Rosella Hightower danced with the BR. Fokine's choreography for Prince Igor was part of Diaghilev's Paris debut.

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FINDING AND POSTING THIS! WHAT A BLESSING!

  • Perfect. Let's hear it for the costumes!!!!

  • No wonder this was such a crowd pleaser -- very colorful!

  • I studied around the same time with him.There is still a company and there is a facebook fan page...

  • Thanks jkircher314. I love Offenbach's Gaité Parisienne and this film is everything I want right now. What's this thing about a set with 2 versions of The Maltese Falcon ? What business does that have to do with Gaité Parisienne and The Ballets Russes? I want the video. Do you know how I can get it ? Thanks.

  • Thank you so much for this wonderful video. Andre Eglevsky was my teacher from 1961-1968 and I was thrilled to watch him dance. The only other video I have seen of him was on the Ed Sullivan show. This is such a treat! This is what YouTube is all about. I can't wait to show it to my 89 yr. old mom, who took me to dance classes everyday and was a big fan of Andre.

  • How delightful! I had forgotten why I once loved the ballet so much. Thanks for posting this.

  • Thank you so much for posting this!!!!!! Do you know how I could buy a video or DVD of it?!
