...since the movies found voice that the moviegoer has been offered a picture without dialogue. Indeed, the absence of what passes for human speech in most movie scripts will probably attract more customers to this show than the presence of well-known dancers (Igor Youskevitch, Tamara Toumanova, Claire Sombert, Diana Adams, Belita, Carol Haney, Tommy Rail), who do not get much chance to strut their stuff...
