Abstract
"The Triumph of Chastity" is a ballet choreographed by Ruth Page, with music by Jacques Ibert and costumes by Leonor Fini.  It was premiered alongside "El Amor Brujo" in Chicago at the St. Alphonsus Theatre on December 12, 1954 by the Ballet Guild of Chicago.  

"Spectre of Love," otherwise known as "El Amor Brujo," is a ballet choreographed by Ruth Page in 1954, based on the orchestral piece/one act ballet by Manuel de Falla and Martinez Sierra. After premiering alongside "The Triumph of Chastity" in 1954, it was later performed again on tour in the 1970s.  

This very brief footage consists of screen credits for these two ballets, apparently prepared in 1955 (according to onscreen copyright).
