Two bsiliffs brought him into the

respect there is a similarity TO the
training required for Russian dancing

girls rehearse and are in training
every day. We all live together in an
apartment near Prospect Park, in
Brooklyn. The girls rise at in the
morning have breakfast and then be-
gin practising the steps and evolutions
Of the ballet. This, with their gym
nastic exercises, usually occupies the
morning.
"As a result of their training, every
ore of the girls is in perfect condi-
tion, and their performances at the
theatre never become slipshod or care
less. Some may feel that their train
ing IS too severe for young girls, but
that is not the case. Their cheerful
ness and sweet disposition have be-
come traditions in the productions in
which they have appeared. To the
stage director they are a blessing; he
never has 70 Scoid them.
