A PHOTOGRAPHER OF BALLET.—This picture of leading dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet in Le Foyer de la Danse is one of about 200 studies in the third of Baron’s ballet books—“ Baron’s Ballet,” published by Collins. Baron (who died last year) loved ballet; his photography testifies to his devotion. . The present book includes, with memorable pictures of European, Russian, and American ballet scenes and dancers, a beautiful section of pictures of what Baron called “exotic” ballet. This section comprises pictures of Siamese, Chinese, African, and Japanese dances. The book has four coloured studies, one of Fonteyn as “Firebird.” From a magnificent selection, many would choose the picture above, which has much of the charm of a Degas painting, and an exquisite black and white study of Markova as “The Dying Swan”
