...elbowed each other before Radio City's Center Theatre, paid as high as $5.50 a seat to see a hash of items mostly warmed over from past modernist recitals. Three hundred and fifty standees broke the theatre's record, established on the closing night of The Great Waltz. As the formal conclusion of Manhattan's five-week Olympic Dance International, what was old stuff to Greenwich Village longhairs became a tiptop Broadway box-office attraction...

In the first act there is a ballet of toe dancers, a chorus of Can Can Girls appears in the second, and in the third, of course, we see the modern chorines. But if you think...
...only one state are all three represented, Michigan. Michigan even goes a step farther by having a Vassar, and completes the story with the following towns (see Rand McNally World Atlas): McBrides, Romeo, Elsie, Eureka, Waltz, Chase, Halfway, Rapid City, Twining, Blissfield, Climax, Liberty, Alaska, Maybee, Union City, Paines, Kawkawlin, Paw Paw, Richville, Cadillac, Lawrence, Princeton, Champion, Battle Creek, Bad Axe, Onaway, and Farwell...
