Original Toronto Star caption: Getting to know you Popular ballerina Karen Kain gets to know Hobo, star of TV's The Littlest Hobo, on steps of the National Ballet School on Maitland St. Kain this week is filming her dramatic acting debut, playing a prematurely retired ballerina whose young daughter wants to train for ballet, too. But mom wants to shield her from the disappointments of the career and the dog naturally brings them together at the end.
