i am not sure about the ballet film itself, whether it was shot in color or not, but yes there was color film--on nitrate, which was fragile and short-lived. there's a couple of most lovely films by peter delpeut (lyrical nitrate and forbidden quest) that use clips from nitrate films as collage elements. really lovely stuff.
