| Item Description: | Title from cover On unnumbered page 12: "A lithography by Katherine S. Dreier: ... one of '40 variations' on an abstract theme, exhibited in New York last year, is the work of the eminent abstract apinter, Katherine S. Drier. This exhibition inspired Shawn and Jess Meeker to solve the abstract problem presented in the Dreier lithographs and put it to dance and music. It is a distinct innovation to have three creative artists, starting from the same point, create works of art in three mediums, structurally so alike--yet not one of them in any way an imitation of the other." On unnumbered page 13: "Jacob's Pillow is essentially a training camp where Shawn trains his group of young men and creates solos and group numbers for himself and them." On unnumbered page 16: "Mr. Ted Shawn's significant movement to restore the art of the dance for men to its rightful place in modern life / L.P. (Excerpts from an editorial in the 'Boston Globe', Sunday, October 22, 1933." "Press comments" on page 3 of cover.
