    "BOXER BECAME BALLET STAR The fairly general Australian view that male ballet dancers are "cissies" is condemned by Valentin Zeglovsky in his highly entertaining autobiogrgphy, "Ballet Crusade." Zeglovsky, who came to Australia with the Colonel de Basil company and decided to stay, was a timber cutter and cowhand in Latvia. He almost became a prizefighter before he joined the Riga State Opera ballet and began world travels as a dancer. His story, translated from the Russian, is quickly-told in the clipped style of modern journalism, with plenty of humour and drama. The chapters on his childhood in Russia before and during the Revolution make an incredible picture. Of particular appeal to the balletomane (and printed on pastel-coloured paper: pink, fawn, blue and green), the book has numerous photographs and ends with a critical appraisal of ballet in Australia.

    Lovely B&W shot. Do you mind sharing what kind of camera (filter) they used to capture this image!?

    Possibly the gun-slinger is Australia baritone John Ralston who played the Brigand Chief in the 1930 Australian production of 'The Maid of the Mountains.'

  • covid convict said:
    Remember these pics of Sam Hood with his camera?...they were evidently taken for People magazine in 1953...

    I think it's the same camera in both pics...I can't work out what make it is...but if you go to the pics at the SLNSW and zoom in you can see he's using a Meyer & Co 'Trioplan' lens...

    In the 1940s Brisbane was just a big country town and the thousands of Australian and American servicemen who suddenly poured into the camps and bases around the city and the other major centres provided an audience for mass entertainment and gave the experience a new intensity, whether it was ballroom dancing at Cloudland, cutting a rug at the Trocadero or enjoying vaudeville at the Cremorne.
