The Art of Nijinslcy. By Geoffrey Whitworth. (Chatio and Windus.

3s. 6d. net.)—Among the too numerous works of gushing admiration which are perhaps the only evil result of the Russian dancers' success, Mr. Whitworth's deserves to be mentioned as an honourable exception. It is true that he praises; but his praise is discriminating, and, strangest of all in a writer upon dancing, he shows some knowledge of the history and literature of the subject. Miss Dorothy Mullock's coloured sketches, while lacking in strength, often catch very cleverly a characteristic movement of the dancer.
