...work, as a whole, is meant to show no affectation of fine writing, not does it lay claim to literary excellence. The Advocate has this ground by right of possession; we do not attempt to rival it in deux d'esprit, or in cunningness of speculation, or otherwise poach upon its preserves.

In the final pas de deux of the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier, Jennifer Gelfand and Robert Wallace were both excellent. Gelfand's solid technique, effortless jumps and unmatched turns made her variation a joy to watch, reaching a high point when she completed four and five rotations after her fouette turns--a feat seldom seen...
