The Embassy Ballet (Directed by Molly Lake) presents The Last Curtain
Presented by D. H. Munro and full corps de ballet

The story is of ballet a hundred years ago Theophile Gautier, great ballet critic of the day, writes his impressions of the farewell performance of a famous ballerina, Emilienne Lagrange. He reads his words, and the scene fades to part of Mile. Lagrange's actual performance. The curtain falls, and Dupont and the ballet-master pay her homage. It rises again on preparation for the dress-rehearsal of the ballerina who is to take over her part. All the usual trials, tribulations, and quarrels of a dress rehearsal ensue: but the new ballerina acquits herself admirably, immediately receiving the ballet-master's approbation, even Lagrange's discarded bouquet. The tired company depart. The forgotten ballerina returns; she looks around the empty stage, and realises that it is indeed her last curtain.
