| Talkies Nearly Cost
i Ballerina Her
Career As A Dancer
For many years it was toutn and
go" whether well-known English ballet-
dancer Paula Hinton would learn to
dance.
Married to dancer and
choreographer Walter
Gore, whom she met when
a member of the Ballet
Rambert, she is apearing
with her husband as guest
artist with the National
Theatre Ballet Company,
now. at the Tivoli.
Miss Hinton's parents,
opera singers Doris and
Ernest Hinton, of Liver
pool, England, found
their stage company was
broken up when the
"talkies" came. They did
not want her to take up
a stage career, as it had
proved so unlucky for
them.
"But I was so determin
ed to be a ballerina," she
said today, "that I finally
persuaded them to let me
take dancing lessons."
Leading Roles
However, she did not be
gin until she was 16 — four
years too late, according to
most teachers.
Her first lessons were
with Hilda Delamere
Wright, of Liverpool.
She has danced leading
roles with the famous bal
lets of the world.
Since her marriage in
1950 she has always
danced with her hus
band, except for a "part
ing" of nine months
when she danced with
Markova and Dolin in
London while her hus
band was appearing as
Harlequin in Moliere's
play, "The Imaginary
Invalid,"
The Champs Elysees
Ballet, Festival Ballet, and
the Ballet Russe are
among well-known com
panies with wnich the pair
have appeared.
, Luchy Charms
They have also been on
television in .England and
France.
Like most ballerinas
Miss Hinton has a collec
tion of lucky charms that
always line the make-up
table in her dressing room.
Of a mixture of dolls,
beads and animals, her
most treasured "charm" is
an. old make-up box that
once belonged to her
father.
