A picture of marvelously artistic dancing. But let us say quickly that it must be put on with appropriate music, if it is to get over. This artistic dancing is very dramatic; it expresses a wide range of emotions and so clearly that it seems almost articulate at times. It expresses the feeling of the music that goes with it, making the music double effective. To play ragtime or sentimental ballad music with it will be like playing "Tristan und Isolde" on the stage with an orchestra that knows only "The Runaway Girl." Get the right music from the producer, advertise a masterpiece of Russian dancing and rehearse it; then you can expect success. There is nothing indecent in it, although it is danced with bare feet and bare lower legs. - The Moving Picture World, March 30, 1912
