Note: Originally choreographed in 1936 for the Broadway musical On Your Toes, the ballet was mounted for the New York City Ballet as a separate work, following the original ideas but with different steps. Mitchell created some of his own dance material, as Ray Bolger undoubtedly had done in On Your Toes.
