During his first trip there in the 1920's he photographed stars of the motion picture classic, "The Birth of a Nation." On his first visit to the celluloid capital, Chidnoff learned a valuable lesson from the late John Barrymoie. "Frankly, I was a bit worried, maybo it was scared;" the white-haired photographer recalls. "When he finally showed up, I ushered him to a chair and was about to move him slightly when he bellowed in that typical Barry- more voice. 'Don't touch me, dh> ect me,' Well ever since then I've directed not touched my subjects.'' It's a technique — approaching on hypnosis — of "look here" . . . now "look there" . . ,. "look back there again" . . . and "tell me about yourself, your work," . . . "what you like and dislike." All the while with almost humming bird speed, he's shooting portraits. In the early 1900's, Chidnoff's family migrated to this country from Russia, where his forebearers were photog|aphers. They settled in Manhattan. ,and Chidnoff went to . work for' a local studio. It wasn't long before he opened his own shop on Fifth Avenue, where he remained for more than 30 years before settling here. Chidnoff was one of th.-> first photographers to develop a lighting technique in taking picturse. In addition to his work in Holy- wood, his studios have been buzzing with orders for college yearbooks, sometimes for 10,000 portraits at one crack. He has photographed for yearbooks at the Uni- (Continued en Page Three) Bolshoi Ballet To Be Seen The Rank Organization's color motion picture presentation of "The Bolshoi Ballet" coming to the Athens Theatre, Wednesday evening, shows the full quality of a great ballet company in a way no other film has ever done. There will be one performance only at 8:30 p.m. Regular prices are $2.00, Stetson students $1.25. The words "Russian Ballet" has long been used as a' hallmark of excellence. When the word "Bolshoi", which means big, is put in front of "Russian Ballet", it weli describes a company that has learned its dancing on the most spacious stage in the world; that its dancers are big in movement and personality; that they superbly tell a story by acting with their whole bodies. The Bolshoi Ballet group, as they perform in " The Bolshoi Ballet" film directed by Paul Czinner, show a perfect cross of their accomplishments. They can dazzle with a technique that seems to defy the laws of gravity but that is not merely acrobatic because it is truly gay in expression. Filmed in London by multi- camera method designed by Czin- I ner to capture the full theatrical I impact of a live ballet peifor- ' mance, "The Bolshoi Ballet" was i filmed exactly as performed for I Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II I when the Bolshoi Ballet group o! ' Moscow madeits historic visit to the Royal Opera House, Covent , Garden, in London in 195G. i Under Czinncr's direction, the i motion picture production will of- i fer audiences the first opportunity 1 to witness a 'complete evening of ! ballet almost exactly as performed 1 for generations in the huc,h Ccl- shoi Theatre in Moscow.
