A very good copy. A programme for an evening of dance and music promoting Vera Grist a promising young Melbourne Dancer reviewed by The Argus 23rd Aug 1939; 'Dancer's Recital. A number of delightful and well-danced pieces in Miss Vera Grist's recital last night proved that the excellent reputation she has been gaining as a character dancer is thoroughly deserved. She has an adequate technique and used it to good advantage in her first four classical numbers but her forte was the more highly dramatic or comic pieces. Miss Grist's teacher Madame Saronova who arranged the dances appeared with her in a pretty Dutch clog dance. Among those who assisted Miss Grist were Misses Winifred Egan. Dorothy Simpson Roma Smith Ruth Michael and Valda Johnstone and Mr. Kelvin Plant.' The Bulletin similarly reported on another event the previous year 'A Jack Cato camera made this picture of Vera Grist a young Melbourne dancer winner of the Vic. Society of Dancings scholarship. Vera was chosen to take part in the augmented ensemble scenes of 'Le Coq dOr' and even her teacher Saronova didnt recognise her pupil in the wings just before the ballet commenced for she was completely disguised as a dwarf with a beard and ruddy cheeks. Vera is thrilled because Anton Dolin has promised to give her lessons.' Inscribed in folder next to her portrait 'To my dear teacher Lucie Saronova with my grateful thanks to all you have done Vera'. Madam Lucie Saronova 1900-1988 a student of Maestro Enrico Cecchetti and was the founding organizer and first chairman of the Australian Cecchetti Society branch of the imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing; her term of office covering a record span of 37 years from 1934-1971.

1976rif. 100846New York April 19 1976. 1976. Fine. - Over 60 words typed on 10-1/2 inch high by 7-1/4 inch wide "MET: Metropolitan Opera Association Lincoln Center" stationery. The executive director of the Metropolitan Opera Anthony Bliss replies to City Center's former producer and director Jean Dalrymple's suggestion that she could be helpful to City Center again in managing the four ballet companies associated with the MET "Regardless of what kind of arrangements we may make on behalf of the ballet companies we certainly will want to get the benefit of your ideas and experience." Signed "Tony". Folded for mailing else fine. Together with the retained copy of Jean Dalrymple's letter of April 6 1976. The executive director of the Metropolitan Opera Anthony A. Bliss 1913-1991 gave up his law practice in 1974 to take over what was then a financially troubled organization. He co-operated with music director & chief conductor James Levine and the director of production John Dexter in the early 1980's. Bliss was also co-chairman of the Joffrey Ballet. Though tall and distinctive looking his wife Sally described him as "the most unsophisticated man I ever met. I pick out his clothes." and elaborated by saying "He has no gourmet instincts: I could feed him a can of Alpo." With a sense of humor Bliss then started keeping a can of dog food on his desk. President Lyndon Johnson appointed Bliss to the original National Council on the Arts. The recipient Jean Dalrymple 1902-1998 was the dynamic producer and director of theater and light-opera at Manhattan's City Center. Dalrymple began her career in Vaudeville appearing with James Cagney and Carey Grant in the early 1930s. She was a founding member of the American Theatre Wing the theatre service organization. She worked over the years as a personal manager for the likes of Leopold Stokowski Mary Martin Jos Iturbi Andre Kostalanetz Nathan Milstein and Lily Pons. She began her work at City Center with its founding in 1943 serving as a board member and publicist. Her productions there from the 1940s through the 1960s were a revitalizing influence on the whole New York theatre scene. In 1951 Jean Dalrymple married Major-General Philip deWitt Ginder commander of the Thunderbirds in Korea. She was a friend to Presidents and entertainment personalities throughout the world.
