- Summary
- Summary: As introduction John Gruen describes Cyril Beaumont's living room. Mr. Beaumont, distinguished British dance historian and antiquarian bookseller, describes how he became interested in dance; his impressions of Anna Pavlova, Mikhail Mordkin, Waslav Nijinsky, Serge Diaghilev, and Mikhail Fokine; talks about critics and criticism; describes Fokine's method of choreography, Cecchetti's teaching method, developing notation for it, and forming the Cecchetti Society. He mentions his new book entitled Bookseller at the ballet; describes personalities in Diaghilev's Ballets russes; discusses his company, the Cremorne (ballet) company, and the reasons for its failure; his impressions of Tamara Karsavina in the ballet Thamar and his friendship with her; the ballet Les algues, by Janine Charrat; his impressions of Martha Graham and Merle Park; and compares Rudolf Nureyev and Nijinsky. He then describes publishing Georges Barbier's book Designs on the dances of Vaslav Nijinsky (1913) and briefly talks about his daily routines.
