Hugh Laing as Romeo

[rg]

this scan of a signed and dated (1947), but, otherwise, unidentified photo of Hugh Laing, shows the dancer as Romeo in Ballet Theatre's production of Antony Tudor's ROMEO AND JULIET.

it often seems, perhaps more so than many other examples of dancers in various ballets, that Tudor's dancers made a point of posing in studio settings with specific reference to the roles for which they are costumed.

here are the credits for the ballet itself:
