Spilled pins are only one Of Holly

A picture is doomed If a dress is
basted with green thread; if clothes
are started but not finished on Fri

instead of a cloth; if borrowed pins
are returned or if anything sharp
like needles or scissors-is handed
out without being placed on some-
thing first, or If dropped scissors

On the other hand, film can't

buttons on every garment, baste in

sewing or prick a finger. Damp fin

her playing is of caliber to make
the demand for ugly children a
logical development on the part of
movie makers.
BenoitLevy, the French director,
who made the beautiful La Mater
nellie" two years ago, has exceeded
the excellence of even that drama
on this occasion.
His story, adapted from the novel
of Paul Moran. is the rich narrative
of life as lived by the petit rats" of
the Paris opera 1t embraces an
area of childhood that is amazingly
fascinating. The children of the
ballet, apprentices put through a
routine that tests their love for
artistic expression to the breaking
point, are not little dears as Benoit-
Levy deals with them. The tender
ness with which he examines the
devious mentality of the budding
artist is intensified by the starkness
of the presentation.
The story of "Ballerina" is that of
Rose Souris, a 12-year-old of eX-
treme precocity. Rose can dance
like an angel, but she does not have
the character of one. Her wide
eyed alteration of the premiere
danseuse of the opera is transcended
only by her hatred of the latter's
rival, hatred that causes her to
open trap door in the stage when
the rival is dancing. The dancer
plunges through the opening, is
paralyzed and her career ended.
1t is Benoit-Levy's pleasure to
examine the mind of child of such
intense feeling. His drama IS a
thing of brooding beauty, its mo-
ments of tragic tenSity offset by
some of the most delightful humor
conceivable. The petit rats" have
their hilarious moments, one OF the
most realistic of them that in which
an angelic youngster suspended
high above the stage on moving
wire has the sad miShap of becom-
ing i'll. The huge paper tulip which
she carries in her hand turns out
to be much more useful than
beautiful thing at such a moment.
And lots funnier than it is useful or
beautiful!
There are passages of very i'm
pressive beauty in the film. Natu-
rally, there is a lot Of dancing in
the lives of ballerinas and Serge
Lifar was employed to give it the
glow of vitality and enormous grace.
