Virginia Woolf et al. in London - 28 , month unknown, 1918
from The diary of Virginia Woolf. Vol.1, 1915-1919, page 222:
One night we went to see the Russian dancers; & it was incongruous enough to see what they offered the tolerant good tempered public who had been bellowing like bulls over the efforts of a man to nail a carpet down.
Footnote: On 28 November the Woolfs went to the London Coliseum to see Lydia Lopokova and Leonide Massine in 'Carnaval; the Diaghilev Ballet company shared the variety bill with among other items, a recital of popular music, Beatie and Babs in 'Frivolous Fragments', and Will Evans in 'Laying the Carpet'.
