Before 1954, The Nutcracker was unknown as a Christmastime event. But when George Balanchine's production of the ballet for the New York City Ballet opened in that year, it inspired copycat productions from schools to professional companies. This is Maria Tallchief and André Eglevsky in the Sugar Plum Fairy pas de deux.

Charlie Chaplin on set of "Limelight", original caption:

"Dancing to show Melissa Hayden just what he wants, Chaplin pirouettes as André Eglevsky watches. Miss Hayden doubles for heroine in dance sequences. Both she and Eglevsky, who are both leading American dancers, were surprised by Chaplin's ballet knowledge".
