...London stage last week was a ballet born in Bordeaux on the eve of the French Revolution. La Fille Mai Gardee is the world's second oldest ballet (the oldest: The Whims of Cupid and the Ballet Master, which beat La Fille to the stage in 1786). In its present incarnation, La Fille not only provides the Royal Ballet with its biggest smash of the season but brilliantly demonstrates the versatility of a convivial, pink-cheeked, 53-year-old ex-R.A.F. officer-Choreographer Frederick William Mallandaine Ashton...
...Malcolm Davis, 41, was elected president and chief executive officer of the Fidelity Union Trust Co., New Jersey's largest bank (1959 assets: $518 million). Mai Davis started his banking career at 16 as a page boy for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, worked his way up to bank examiner while going through New York University nights, served in the U.S. Army during World War II, rising from private to captain.

...deft and urbane. As his daughter, O'Brien Nicholas looked and sang as prettily as usual. Betsy Peterson Spiro, as the first wife, brought off her torch song effectively, complete with sultry advances toward Master Perkins, who was lucky enough to be in the first row. Harvey White and Mai Brigitta Milk handled the Eunuch "without an operation" and the "paradox" as cleanly as possible. Mr. Rinzler, except for a tendency toward rock'n'roll left over from last year, sang well, and the minor roles were done with spirit...
