hi gang. i just saw the Marx Brothers movie "A day at the races" and i was wondering if anyone knows who the ballerina was that did a solo in the movie? she wasn't listed in the credits. she sure was good though. her chaines (?) were so fast, at one point it looked like her head on backwards. (ha). and i sure like those marx brothers. <BR>kim <P>------------------<BR>Great Dancers are not great dancers because of their technique: they are great dancers because of their passion -- Martha Graham<P>
