Ballet from "The Goldwyn Follies": The arts are seeping quickly through America now, with mass distributing methods, contributing Toscanini on the radio, Stokowski as a cinema colleague of Deanna Durbin, books on painting to the best-seller lists, and now authentic Russian ballet, to the film, "The Goldwyn Follies." On these two pages are moments from "The Water Nymph," the new and lovely waltz ballet, with its choreography by George Balanchine, its score by Vernon Duke, with Zorina as prima ballerina, with whirling girls, Chirico horses, pools, sequins, water-lilies, and every one sur les pointes.
