Ballerina.

Irina Baronova, looking ravishing in her heavy make-up, was next interviewed by our commentator. She is the wife of the Director of the company—or so we are told. She expressed a keen desire to encourage the formation of a School of Ballet. In Paris and Warsaw the leading schools are sponsored by the Government. Receiving financial support they are able to acquire the services of the great masters to coach pupils. Another aspect which plays such an important part in the development of the pupil is the fact that in Europe there is a wonderful tradition, enriched through the ages.

A few words with Tatiana Riabouchinska, whose huge dog goes with her everywhere—(we understand that a certain Wellington Hotel refused to let her stay there because she wanted her dog with her in her bedroom when she was alone)—a glimpse of feathery ballerinas in the yellow "Papillon" costumes—and our visit behind scenes was over. Riabouchinska's dog is a magnificent creature—we are told that white in Wellington she and David [unclear: Lichine] used to exercise it round the Railway Station each night after the show.

More gossip—Sono Osato, the Japanese-American ballerina, is married to Jasinsky.
