...missing from the de Basil line-up this year is Tamara Toumanova-one of the three ballerinas who at their debuts were so publicized for their beauty and tender years. She is now in Hollywood. In her absence Sono Osato, a Japanese-American trained under Adolph Bolm, one of the company's youngest dancers (17), is by far its most exotic looking.

...whole production bristles with talented contributions which stager Worthington Miner has welded into a highly animated, pleasingly smooth and sure-paced vehicle for the bright talents of Ray Bolger, Luella Gear, Tamara Geva, Doris Carson, Monty Woolley and a galaxy of well constructed demoiselles. The book represents the combined efforts of Messrs. George Abbott and the skilful team of Rodgers and Hart who have also supplied it with a variety of tuneful and well-worded songs. The accent is definitely on the dancing which has been supervised by George Balanchine, the eminent choreographer...
