...Gabriel Faure's stage music for Pelleas et Melisande and Shylock, unfolded a set of suave, subtly intertwining dances that managed to be at once sweeping and intimately sensuous. Dancers Mimi Paul and Francisco Moncion captured the combination of sophistication and passion in a pas de deux that was full of tantalizing hesitations but never without easy flow. In "Diamonds," Balanchine turned to the grand manner of classical ballet, spinning out variations that resembled traditional Russian dancing removed from the law of gravity. To the score of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 3, Suzanne Farrell, Jacques d'Amboise...
...shadowy room where a trio of gangsters beat and rob them. The last victim is a hideously ugly, stooped Chinese mandarin, danced by Flindt himself. After a grotesquely forceful solo, he engages the streetwalker-provocatively danced by Vivi Gelker-in a scorching sensual pas de deux. The gangsters move in and repeatedly stab and then strangle him.

...nostalgic at the thought of Paris' famed outdoor cafes and its deep discothèque caves. That is, everyone except the Parisians. In recent years, the young yé-yé set has been crossing the street from St. Germain-des-Prés's venerable Les Deux Magots and swinging into Le Drugstore for a short-order hamburger or a fairly auhentic banana split. What with its dazzling array of drugs, chewing gum, model airplanes and racks full of Playboy, the delights of Le Drugstore are inexhaustible. But now there is a new- and equally exotic- rendezvous...
