...central piece, “Rubies,” represents the new American style of dance—namely jazz—that Balanchine discovered upon arrival his arrival in New York City. The dancers in this piece are predictably dressed in ruby-red, the women donning the skimpiest outfits of the production—perhaps a nod to the New York City jazz clubs. The salacious energy of jazz combined with ballet creates a fascinating, discordant form of dance reinforced by Igor Stravinsky’s slightly off-key “Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra...
...numerous scrapes over the years with competitors, shareholders, French tax authorities and regulators in California, who are currently pursuing a $1 billion lawsuit against him. And there are several signs that suggest Pinault may have come close to overleveraging himself. Pinault himself isn't talking, and provides only the skimpiest of details about his private finances.

...year ago, Broadway was mired in the slough of despond, waiting out the waning weeks of one of its skimpiest seasons and wondering whether the Great White Way would ever glisten again.

There in Schleicher County, farmers during a decent season coaxed 26 bu. of wheat or one bale of cotton from each cultivated acre. This year, despite getting a bit more rain than the rest of the region, they expect their fields to yield only 6 bu. of wheat...
...greatest thing when a 36-year-old woman can put on the tightest jeans, the skimpiest shirt, play with a gun and call it work." So says Actress Elizabeth Ashley, whose work these days is a new comedy by Samuel Taylor titled Legend. In it she plays what she describes as an "outlawette" in a band of 17 Old West bad guys. Whatever the fate of the show when it opens on Broadway next month, Ashley's publicity poster seems a surefire hit. "A lady in those days couldn't go out and purchase outlawette gear," Liz says...
