Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label on verso C: (Ballet) 8/61 (17): OFF-BEAT RHYTHMS produce a ballet movement half way / between a grind and a bump as the dance corps of / West Side Story [underlined] (due to release in late October) / rehearses on location in New York. Choreographed by / Jerome Robbins, the dances of this former Broadway / musical constitute a purely American ballet idiom. / Credit: ERNST HAAS c 1961 MAGNUM PHOTOS
