Reports on the Chicago Ballet Russe Foundation, which was formed by Chicago's department of cultural affairs and Butler University to raise funds for the conservation and exhibition of the university's collection of 175 ballet backdrops. The backdrops were painted for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo by such artists as Salvador Dalí, Henri Matisse, Alexandre Bernois, Natalia Goncharova, and Leon Bakst.
