Chicago based arts organization who presented orchestral and modern ballet performances.

Chicago Allied Arts, Inc. was formed in 1924 for the encouragement and development of music, ballet, stage design, and allied arts in Chicago. Founders included John Alden Carpenter, Anna Hamill Monroe, George F. Porter, Arthur T. Aldis, and Marjorie Robbins Goodman. The organization brought together Eric De Lamarter’s Solo Orchestra and Adolph Bolm’s Ballet Intime for a series of programs funded through the guarantees of individual sponsors.

The first program took place at the Eighth Street Theatre on November 27, 1924. Russian-born scenic designer Nicolas Remisoff created the front curtain, costumes, and sets for the entire first production, as well as the group’s logo. Programs followed a similar structure, beginning with musical compositions under the direction of Eric De Lamarter, followed by ballets conceived and staged by Adolph Bolm. The orchestral concerts presented the works of John Alden Carpenter, Leo Sowerby, Darius Milhaud, Igor Stravinsky, Arnold Schonberg, and many others. Mina Hager performed as soloist for several of the programs. The ballet and dance performances featured Ruth Page as principal dancer, with guest artists including ballerina Tamara Karsavina and flamenco dancer Maria Montero. Additional programs were produced in 1925 and 1926, including a special performance for the visiting Queen Marie of Romania on November 14, 1926. Plans for additional programs in 1927 were developed but never materialized, and the organization disbanded by 1928.
