...ends he could spare. Ballet Theatre's Erik Bruhn phoned fellow Danes in Copenhagen, who rushed to pack Sylphides and Graduation Ball trappings (the vacationing director had to be run to ground for an O.K.). French Dancers Pierre Le Cote and Claude Bessy appeared in Cannes with tutus and tunics. A cowed secretary at London's Ballet Rambert was talked out of a Giselle score; a second score was produced by an operative who dug up a key to Brussels' shuttered opera house. In Cannes, meanwhile, dancers, stranded with only the clothes they had worn...

But the young Devonshire, whose family motto is Cavendo tutus (Secure by Caution), vowed: "I will fight to the bitter end." At this point he was aided by the legal handiwork of a doctrinaire Socialist. Back in 1946 Chancellor of the Exchequer Hugh Dalton, operating on the Socialist theory that "the best that still remains should surely become the heritage not of a few private owners but of all our people," set aside...
