THE BOOK OF THE DANCE
Pictorial art, which has the privilege and duty of minis-
| tering to the other arts, has done but ill heretofore in behalf
of the dance. There have been many delicate sketches
made and some really fine photographs, but these have not
been widely available, and the best books on the dance have
been calamitously illustrated. Now, at last, this deficiency
on the pictorial side has been supplied. The latest of the
arts, photography, has been used by one of its greatest mas-
ters to give the world a definite, coherent, illuminating
record of the modern art of the dance. Arnold Genthe,
who during many years has used the camera with signal
success for making pictures of what his vision and imagin-
ation perceived in the realities before him, was indeed the
ideal manto record the features of the dance in this day. To
vast resources of knowledge and superior intellect, Dr.
Genthe adds that keen sensitiveness and unquenchable
enthusiasm which enable him to approach and pursue his
problem with rare subtlety and devotion. He has given us
a great and beautiful book.
