Do not scorn her with words fierce and bitter,
Do not laugh at her shame and downfall,
For a moment just stop and consider,
That a man was the cause of it all.

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true.

When your heart's on fire,
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes.

Snow Maiden Ballet

Based on "The Snow Maiden" (Snegurochka) Opera by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, first presented in St. Petersburg, Russsia, in 1882. Rimsky-Korsakov's libretto is based on the play "The Snow Maiden" by Alexandr Ostrovsky, which premiered in 1873 with music by Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky. The story is a much-loved traditional tale (now generally associated with Christmas) about The Snow Maiden, a girl who interacts with various people and mythological characters (e.g. Frost, Spring, Wood-Sprite) representing the forces of nature.

Apparently many ballet companies throughout the world have used this opera as a basis for a ballet, though there is no single adaptation - that is, many ballet companies have adapted it with their own interpretations.

South American Way
South American Way

Words by Al Dubin, music by Jimmy McHugh, 1939

Carmen Miranda broke through in a big way with her recording of this song in 1939. Some have even suggested that the recording triggered the Latin American craze in the U.S. in the 1940s. According to some sources, she introduced the song on Broadway under the moniker Carmen Da Cunha, then via a Decca recording. She was quickly snatched up by 20th Century-Fox, renamed to Carmen Miranda, and made her first appearance on the silver screen in the film Down Argentine Way (sung by Carmen Miranda with the Carmen Miranda Band, 1940).
