The son of Greek immigrants who settled in New York, Constantine Hassalevris became a professional dancer in his 20s. He was injured in a Colorado auto accident that ended his dancing career, but a colleague gifted him with a box camera while he was recovering. That led to his second career as a physique photographer. The photo of an unknown above was published under the early Constantine marque, but he is better known as Spartan of Hollywood.
Editors note: Several of the photos in today's set are not of the best quality. I don't know
if that is due to the original work or poor quality scans and/or conservation.
Also, some are from pulp magazines which do not reproduce well.
