The curtain rose on the ballet , which was one of those excellent specimens of the italian school , admirably arranged and put on the stage by henri , who has established for himself a great reputation throughout italy for his taste and skill in the choregraphic art - one of those masterly productions of grace , method , and elegance in which the whole corps de ballet , from the principal dancers to the humblest supernumerary , are all engaged on the stage at the same time ; and a hundred and fifty persons may be seen exhibiting the same attitude , or elevating the same arm or leg with a simultaneous movement , that would lead you to suppose that but one mind , one act of volition , influenced the moving mass - the ballet was called " poliska . 大幕又垃开了，歌舞团登台了，这是最出色最标准的意大利派歌舞团之一，导演是亨利，他在意大利全国极负盛名，他的风格和技巧一向以导演群众场面而见长。这次上演的，是他的杰作之一，举止优美，动作整，高雅脱俗歌舞团全班人马，上至台柱舞星，下至最低级的配角，都同时登台一百五十个人都以同样的姿态出现，一举手，一投足，动作都非常整。这叫做“波利卡”舞。
