A Reading by Lydia Lopokova
It is characteristic of the famous ballerina Lydia Lopokova to tire of success and turn to something new. She has danced and acted, and more recently she has acquired a third reputation as a delightful reader on the air.
She was an original member of the ' Band-Box ' Players, who performed in a hall on 57th Street, New York, playing on sharing terms. Out of that small beginning was to grow the famous New York Theatre Guild.
Lopokova said goodbye to ballet after dancing one of her famous roles, the doll Swanilda in Coppelia, for the Vic-Wells Ballet in 1932. The following year she appeared as Olivia in Twelfth Night at the Old Vic, and in 1934 gave a moving performance at the Arts Theatre.as Nora Helmer in A Doll's House. '
