The Ballet
LONDON TEACHES'S VISIT The noted London ballet master Mr. Espinosa, who is c 'ducting dancing examinations under tho British Ballet Organisation, is at present paying a brief viist to Auckland, having arrived from Wellington by the limited express on Saturday morning. His wife, known ns Louise Kay, who is visiting Australia, is the founder of tho ballet organisation. He will return to Australia to continue the examinations there. Mr. Espinosa, who was fhe guest at a reception at the week-end, said there was a comparative lack of ballet per tonalities in England at present, as dancerß were endeavouring to incorporate all styles instead of specialising in one. He mentioned, however, ono dancer who was a distinct personality. She was Miss Alice Marks, who danced under the name of Markova. The boat executant in England, in his opinion, was a girl not yet 15 years old, Betty Maur-Smith.
