...bigger audience-the neophytes who may not necessarily understand or appreciate ballet but have a thirst for it anyway. In this he has succeeded. Opting for stadiums and arenas rather than conventional ballet halls, he has become probably the most commercially successful choreographer alive. When his latest full-length ballet, Nijinsky, Clown of God, came to New York for a 19-performance run that will end this weekend, it seemed only appropriate that the locale should be the 4,000-seat Felt Forum at Madison Square Garden...
...York. A vivacious talker with a honeyed Georgia drawl off-camera, Hopkins on-screen cast shrewd eyes on her leading men. One of her early hits was Director Ernst Lubitsch's Trouble in Paradise (1932).

The first two acts, using music by Tchaikovsky, pro vide a touching but repetitive romantic-ballet picture of Anastasia's life prior to the October revolution.
