At center bottom is a black and white image of the show's stars, Gene Barry and George Hearn, mid-kick. The story title, at the upper left of the spread, reads "High on Its Heels: Broadway's 'La Cage'."

Three pages from the March 1979 issue of Dance Magazine. At the center, a large black and white portrait of Maurice Béjart, under which an article titled "The Creators and the Interpreters" begins. To the left, a performance shot of Jorge Donn in practice clothes in the Balanchine style, surrounded by female dancers in white masks. To the right, a collage of performance shots from the same ballet, showing a dancer wearing enormous wings, another dressed like Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream, and more.
