...bygones. The Point offers little that's original in the way of either choreography or music--two areas where the story might have been able to benefit from live production. The mime is for the most part strictly traditional and basic; there are a few abortive tap and soft-shoe sequences; mysterious acrobatic tumbles are used to convey Oblio's long fall down through the Point of No Return.

Result: by last week both the Horse Shoe Bend and Rexburg mills were working two shifts...

But they do work, redirecting the growth of the spine to help it to grow straight. "Shoe lifts and exercises alone are not proper treatment for progressive scoliosis," says Dr. David B. Levine of New York City's Hospital for Special Surgery and one of the country's leading authorities on the disease. "But in most cases, the brace...
