Geppetto and his fellow Lumberjacks are unable to cut it until a Blue Fairy hands Geppetto a magic axe. The tree is split and a little wooden boy – Pinocchio – is revealed. The Lumberjacks are alarmed. The Blue Fairy entrusts the wooden boy to Geppetto’s care, telling Pinocchio that if he tries to be good, one day he might become a real boy. A Schoolmistress is leading her pupils to class. Geppetto is eager for Pinocchio to learn. The Schoolmistress is doubtful – and Pinocchio has no book. The Blue Fairy magics one up. Pinocchio sets off to school. A Puppet Show arrives in town. Instead of going to school Pinocchio is distracted by the puppet show. He swaps

  • Canada's National Ballet School
    Canada’s National Ballet: 50 Years of Evolution by Paula Citron It was clear with the founding of the National Ballet of Canada in 1951 that a future national ballet school was a necessity. Betty Oliphant and Celia Franca are the two remarkable women who co-founded Canada’s National Ballet School in 1959. As Oliphant wrote in her autobiography Miss O: My Life in Dance: “Celia Franca and I knew that a good company needs a good school to feed it.” James Neufeld says in his book Power to Rise: The Story of the National Ballet of Canada: “(Franca) was a teacher of professionals and saw with a teacher’s eye that the raw material before her had to be shaped and trained. Teaching would be the key to the company’s success.” The NBS is commemorating its 50th anniversary this year, and there is much to celebrate. The school is considered among the top professional ballet academies in the world. Just as the Herculean efforts of Oliphant and Franca helped found the school, so have the innovative policies of Oliphant and her chosen successor, Mavis Staines (class of 1972), help raise the school to its lofty perch in the world of dance education. On the recommendation of Dame Ninette de Valois of the Sadler’s Wells Ballet, Franca came from England to Toronto in 1951 to found the National Ballet of Canada. Betty Oliphant, who had arrived from England in 1947 as a war bride, ran a successful ballet school in the city. Oliphant was asked by Franca to become the company’s ballet mistress.

Plastic Gets Sleeved: Shoppers Trim Credit And Retailers Suffer By Evan Clark The consumer credit bubble that helped Americans fill their closets over a prolonged buying spree and propelled unprecedented store openings is finally deflating — and bringing the fashion industry’s prospects down with it. How many chains are ultimately impacted as shoppers once again become savers won’t start to come into focus until after the holiday season. But there is a consensus about one thing: 2009 won’t see any consumer spending sprees, and retailers will have to adjust pricing and inventories accordingly. “By the end of January, we will have many fewer retailers than we do today,” said Charles McMillion, president and chief economist
