The Royal Ballet Company's bringing-to-life of the Beatrix Potter books for children is really a better exercise in costumery than in dance. It's understandable and perhaps allowable that the footwork should be encumbered by the bunny-fox-frog outfits. The music, however, is even less distinguished than the dancing; and the at-first-sight charm of every episode melts in your mouth long before the finish, without fail. Directed by Reginald Mills.
