and having once tasted the joyous freedom
of service with NJ. Diaghileff he was not
likely to remain content with the rules dnd
regulations of an organization which, in his
view, was lamentably incapable of march
ing along with the times
The result was that after one or two
excursions with the Diaghileff ballet Nj
jinsky's relations with the Imperailists be-
came awkwardly strained. In the early part
of 1911 the strain became so severe that
on an unimportant preteXt of costume Nj
jinsky received and accepted his dismissal
at the hands of the imperial authorities
In his new freedom Nijinsky developed
rapidly. The impresario gave him all the
leeway that his genius required and he
broadened both the technic and the scope
Of his dancing. There is a wide gulf be
tween the various characterizatons he
makes and he seems to take on a different
personality with each character.
During the past few years Nijinsky has
enlarged the sphere Of his activity beyond
the actual bounds Of the theater and has
in a measure assumed the mantle of

defnable thing Of genius. One Of the prin-
cipal marks OF genius is the combination
in one and the same person of talents COM
mon enough in themselves but rarely found
together NiUnsky's art is full Of such
combinations. One Of them is that union
Of strength and lightness which is the most
obvious feature of his style
Apart from the muscular development
Of his hip and thigh Nijinsky gives one the
impression of being slight in build. His
body is as slim as a boys. His wrists and
ankles are almost dainty. While watching
him dance it may not seem strange that a
being so agile should be able to lift and
hold at hairbreadth from the ground, an
other being like himself but Trailer even
than he, one Of those sylphides, perhaps,
that sway like river reeds in the breeze or
hover like thistledOwu. Yet thinking il all
over you have to realize that after all IL
was a grown woman be held there, and
that only the apparent ease with which be
held her cheated you into the belief she
was as light as air.
Try for yourself q similar feat and you
will know how much Of physical strength
is needed to perform II even clumsily And
Nijinsky is nothing if not graceful. And
graceful strength is strength twice over,

sky, the greatest dancer of the
age, released as an Austrian
prisoner of war, is in New York,
the idol of thousands.
Two private secretaries are answering
the love and other letters received by the
twenty-six-year-oI youth, who three years
ago shocked even Paris itself by his per-
formance of the exotic, pagan dance of the
Faun.
In London it took four secretaries ten
hours a day to answer the passionate let
ters of appreciation he received from
duchesses and other ladies as highly
placed. Ladies of the purest aristocracy
had Mysteries during his dance. They tore
bracelets from their arms and rings from
their fingers and flung them on the stage
Flowers and jewels were his gifts every
day.
In New York love letters and kilograms
and flowers have been his gifts of appre-
citation so far but he has been there only a
few weeks. And his two secretaries work
only nine hours a day instead of ten.
Alas, for the Nijnsky-sick maidens;
his wife helps direct the secretaries in
their Iabors. For Nijinsky is married Nine.
Nijinsky is the daughter of one of the
richest and most famous families of Aus
tria-Hungary.
Il receive the letters" says Nijinsky,
land l must answer them 1t is only
polite to do So"
Some Of them are from young girls"
says the beautiful blonde Nine. Nijinsky
quite naturally, "and they are charming"
You see," continues Nijinsky," l was
once very young myself and l understand
that those expressions of feeling are for
the artist and not for the man. Why. when
I was a pupil in the imperial ballet l used
to write such love letters to artists my
self"
The only one in the family who does not
assist in the work of answering the myri-
ads of love letters that come to the house
hold is baby Ntjinsky.
Her name is Kyra and her famous father
hopes she will not only be a dancer but
an artist as well. She was born in Buda-
pest twenty-one months ago-a real war
baby. Already she watches her father
when he practices his muscle scales and
tries to initiate him. The play of her ex-
preston follows his and she initiates him
unconsciously. And, as Nijinsky says, it is
that quality of sympathetic Interpretation
that makes the great artist
Famous as a dancer for many years Nj

sion must not and cannot be confined with
IN the narrow limits of everyday conven-
tionality."
Little by little the Paris public, as it has
pened with all publics in other nations
later, became accustomed to The Faun,"
forgot its frank naturalism and saw only
its amazing beauty of line and color.
Nijinsky always has been a revolutionist
in the arts. In THE Faun' instead of
moving in curving lines and adopting
graceful poses he moves almost ierkilv
and his attitudes are all angular.

training and technic. But there was too
much tradition in all the arts"
The tradition of beauty had become a
milestone around the neck of the young
artist, so the young artist revolted In his
efforts to throw off the chains of classicism
he produced horrible things, things abso-
lutely without value, like the work Of the
cubists. These things will pass but the
revolt will have done much good.
Dancing as an art requires incessant
training after its technic is learned. Even
