Between photography ses- sions, she kept up rehearsals for the | job she had to do when Sadler’s | Wells reopened in the fall. Oddly enough, her task was the leading role in “Mam’zelle Angot” a brand {new ballet by Leonide Massine, who, | { curiously, was playing her ballet| ! teacher in “The Red Shoes.” And | falso the “Wizzard Shoemaker” who | turns out the magic red shoes which | lead Miss Shearers fictional self’ jto grief. Her work in “The Red | ashoes" was finished just one day | before she opened at Covent Garden !in Massine's ballet. ‘Parkman, Marshall ~ Plan’s Boss, Frante; | | PARIS, Aug. 3—(P—Henry Park- man, 56-year-old Boston lawyer, | (soldier and military government expert, today became the Marsha!l Plan’s boss for France. i Parkman, succeeding Louisvilie | publisher Barry Bingham as chief of the European Economic Cooper- | ation (ECA) mission to France, was sworn into office this morning.
