The plot was about a dancer (Marcia Haydee) moping in her dressing room. Enamored of glamour, she kept a portrait of Anna Pavlova on her makeup table and had fantasies about Greta Garbo.

Pavlova remained a portrait, but Garbo came alive as seven dancers symbolizing characters from her films paraded through the room, the dancers and the films they represented being Axelle Arnouts (Conquest), Kyra Kharkevitch (Camille), Grazia Galante (Grand Hotel), Cecilia Mones-Ruiz (Queen Christina), Christine Teyssier (Mata Hari), Isabelle Lamboley (Flesh and the Devil) and Graziella Gillebertus (Ninotchka).

Their paradings were accompanied by a score by Tuxedo Moon that included instrumental music, songs and disconnected bits of dialogue from Garbo films.

Miss Haydee had another visitor, as well. Mr. Donn appeared as her lover and they kept fighting, parting, returning to each other and fighting again. But their affair was more boring than fascinating, for Mr. Donn was vain and overbearing. And since Miss Haydee remained ever willing to be victimized by him, choreographic monotony soon set in. Even when Miss Haydee was visited by a death figure, death turned out to be nothing more than Mr. Donn in a black dress.

Although its hero was a knave and its heroine a fool, this ballet about stars was danced by real stars. Miss Haydee, the director of the Stuttgart Ballet, is one of our leading dramatic ballerinas and Mr. Donn, co-artisic director of Mr. Bejart's company, possesses a strong dramatic presence of his own. Both deserved better.

The program also included repeat performances of Seven Greek Dances and The Rite of Spring. In the latter, Serge Campardon was an appropriately bewildered Chosen Man, and Shonach Mirk was simultaneously alluring and awesome as the Chosen Woman.
