Asked to what injuries ballet, dancers were especially susceptible, Mme. Sok lova said:

"Sprains and strains of all kinds, which mostly occur in 'character' parts. The movements of the classical ballet are act, traditional, but in character parts one has more scope. In the middle of a dance, perhaps one has an inspiration for a new step. The brain telegraphs the message to the muscles. but they do not all respond simultaneously and some thing has to give. Cold weather greatly increases the ability to torn ligaments or strained muscles.

"Then there are the sore heels in duced by new shoes. Our shoes are shortlived, and the process of breaking in new ones is painful."

CARE IN DIETING,

With regard to dies, Mme. Sokolova said that naturally highly indigestible foods, heavy meals immediately before performance had to be avoided, and added, "but we require plenty of good, nourishing food; and in reason we cut and drink what we like, inaking lunch our principal meal whenever possible. «

There is another way," she continued, in which we discipline ourselves. We have to learn to submit not only to the critica in front, hut to the far sterner judgment of ourselves and our colleagues The performance that may pass muster from in front does not go unchallenged behind. It is part of our family life to eritieise each other and nobody would

dream of resenting it.
