National Ballet's 'Romeo' A solid smash

Original Toronto Star caption: National Ballet's 'Romeo' A solid smash. All smiles at last night's smashing success of John Cranko's production of Romeo and Juliet by the National Ballet of Canada at the O'Keefe Centre are Galina Samtsova; who danced juliet; and Earl Kraul; Romeo. At right is a spirited chorus number typical of this magnificent and moving ballet. Obviously delighted with the performance; the audience gave the company 13 curtain calls. Critics hail the National Ballet's Romeo and Juliet as a glorious production and have special praise for the decor costumes by Stuttgart's Jurgen Rose.
