Caption on reverse [translation]: "Yeichi Nimura photo - Iris - Paris." Caption on reverse: "Today the dancers of the world can be counted on the fingers of one hand, and Nimura is one of them. He was born in Japan and educated in the United States, where he first achieved fame and where he originated his own school of movement. He has appeared in concert throughout the world: from the operas of Scandinavia to the concert halls of Yugoslavia; from the workers' theaters in Palestine to the Opera Royal Flammand, Antwerp; from Cairo to Biarritz; and from Warsaw to Havana. Directs Ballets. Nimura combines, with his unique artistry and feeling, a keen dramatic sense and a vast experience in the theater. In addition to his solo appearances, he devotes a part of his time to directing ballets, training a dance group, and coaching individual artists for presentation."
