The film consists in elaborate and spectacular ballets performed by the dancers of two leading Parisian music halls. The gorgeous and fantastic dresses are embellished by vivid colouring, and a striking effect of stereoscopy is achieved the use of of a dead black background, from which the twirling figures of the dancers stand out in bold relief. Though they are extremely lively and sometimes even grotesque, both dancers and costumes are entirely inoffensive, and the film should prove an attractive novelty interlude for practically any house, especially if the musical accompaniment be carefully synchronised with the screen action. As a complete three-reeler the film is too long and tends to become monotonous. For most theatres, it would probably be a more convenient booking if it were released in installment form. The exploitation possibilities of the production are excellent.
