From The Times , July 5 1921 KARSAVINAS ART Contrasts at the Coliseum We are not quite sure that it was a good idea tactics on the part of the Coliseum management to include Mme . Karsavina and Miss Maud Allan in the same program , and only to separate their contributions by the briefest onterval of jazz music . But it had the advantage of making possible comparisons between two dancers whose methods are as the poles asunder . The more often one sees Karsavarina , the more often does one become convinced that she is the true comedian of ballet : Miss Allan , on the other hand , is the tragedian . While the former revels in the most delicious burlesque , the latter dances to the sombre music of the Valse Triste . The occasions when Miss Allan really breaks out into light - hearted dancing are comparitively rare , though why this is so is difficult to understand , for she was at her best yesterday when she was dancing to ( imaginary ) children to the strains of the Blus Danube Waltz , when , by the way , she was not too kindly treated by the orchestra / . Karsavina , on the other hand , seems for ever to be looking on the bright side of things , and her new programme of dances is a series of delights .
