Today’s post is for those of you adicted to Masterpiece Theater’s miniseries “Mr. Selfridge.”  Follow this link to see vintage footage of the great and legendary ballerina Anna Pavlova perform her signature piece “The Dying Swan,” which was choreographed in 1905 by Mikhail Fokine.  The actual film was originally silent.  However, it is most often shown dubbed with Camille Saint-Saëns’  “The Swan” from “The Carnival of the Animals (Le carnaval des animaux)”.  Her last words were reported to be “Get my ‘Swan’ costume ready.”
