Dancer Wins Spot With Metropolitan
New York —(U.P.)— Janet Collins was born to dance but it took years of hard work to put her in the unique spot she holds in the entertainment world today.
She is the first Negro ballerina to star with the Metropolitan Opera. She makes her debut with the Metropolitan when it opens the fall season with "Aida" Nov. 13. She also is the first featured Negro ballerina in the United States. The two most noted women dancers of her race, Katherine Dunham and Pearl Primus, have specialized in primitive and modern dance.
Janet, a slender and attractive girl, said, "I must have been born to be a ballerina. I kept going to school and working harder and harder at it, though nobody in the family encouraged me."
The ballerina, a native of the Pacific coast, said her parents thought she was too rail for all the hours of practice that go into making a ballet dancer. They wanted her to study art, so she studied both art and dancing.
A scholarship with Lester Horton gave her an introduction to modern dance and an opportunity to appear in his production of the "Rite of Dancing" at the Hollywood Bowl. She studied adagio dancing for a while and then went on tour. She appeared in Hall Johnson's "Run Little Chillun" and played the west coast with Katherine Dunham.
As the Negro dancer became more adept at her art, the limitations also became more apparent. There aren't enough ballets in which a girl with olive-brown skin could best in the leads.
Said Janet, "I decided if I were going to be a ballerina, I'd have to it as a soloist. . not part of a company. New York seemed the next stop for me."
She sold a painting to pay her
throat fare East and after winning
to audition series of the YMHA in
ew York, she was hired by the
american School of Ballet to teach
odern dance.
Cole Porter heard about the young cancer and hired her for his Broadway musical comedy, "Out of This World." The notices by the critics cured land her a job with the Metropolitan.
She still paints and also sketches or own costume designs.
She beat the New York housing mortgage by a stroke of luck. A doctor friend of her aunt's wanted someone to occupy the suite of rooms adjoining his office. Janet moved in.
"It's convenient and comfortable," he said. "Dancers often get sprains and bruises. I always have a doctor and all the limbic hands."

KU Chapter Of Phi Gamma Delta Wins National Fraternity Award
Of the 81 chapters in the national fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta, Pi Deuteron, at the University of Kansas, ranks at the top by being the possessor of the coveted O. H. Cheney cup.
This award is given annually to the chapter which maintains the highest efficiency "in the conduct of its affairs." This is the first time the Cheney cup has gone to the Kansas chapter since its founding in 1881.
Pi Deuteron was the first Phi Gi chapter west of the Mississippi. Construction of the present "Fiji" house at 1540 Louisiana street was begun in 1922 and it was first occupied in the fall of 1923.
The term "Fiji" originated through a process of shortening the fraternity's Greek words. The original "Phi Gam" became "Phi Gee," and finally "FiiJ."
housemother since 1936, excluding three years during World War II when the navy occupied the fraternity house.
Outstanding among P1 Deuteron alumni are Alfred M. Landon, William Y. Morgan and Glenn Cunningham.
This term has become a theme for the elaborate "Fiji Islander" party given each fall by KU's Pigs Gams
