The result teams 18-year-old Nova Pilbeam and Play Actor Derrick de Marney in a melodramatic hodge-podge that lacks the vivid outlines and clear characterizations...
...Temperamental Massine had always felt that de Basil cramped his style, had long awaited a chance to launch a company all his own. The chance came when Chicago's art-conscious celebrity-chaser. Mrs. Charles B. Goodspeed, steered him toward Yeast Tycoon Julius Fleischmann, who had cherished a secret passion to patronize the arts. Upshot was the organization of the World-Art group with backing ($500,000) by Fleischmann, Harold F. McCormick and other Midwest socialites. De Basil lost not only his principal working choreographer (Massine) to the new group, now named The New Ballet Russe, but long-legged...
