Thanks to Hoss, Kellie realizes her dream of becoming a prima ballerina, with famed ballet master Paul Mandel (Warren Stevens as her mentor. Written on rottentomatoes.com

Reviews:
"The Cartwrights' usual concerns are put aside as we see a saloon dancer, played by Barrie Chase, trying to learn ballet. Her father, violin-playing Douglas Fowley, is the other half of this team of traveling entertainers.

As I watched the episode, I wondered if the saloon dancer was really any good. But this is Hollywood and she's marvelous.

In fact, Barrie Chase is an incredible dancer. She was frequently a dance partner for Fred Astaire! It's a treat to see her work brought to the Western-viewing audience.

A most unusual episode." Written on jgrant1-626-85342 on IMDb.com

"The Cartwright family and its usual problems take a back seat in this episode of Bonanza which concentrates on the dancing talents of Barrie Chase which are sadly being wasted in a saloon.

Barrie Chase and Douglas Fowley are a father and daughter team of entertainers, he plays the fiddle, she dances. But when Fowley breaks his fiddling arm in a saloon altercation, Dan Blocker invites them to the Ponderosa while Fowley mends. There they meet Warren Stevens who is now a gunsmith, but at one time a top ballet dancer who was crippled in an accident and now no longer dances. How he learned the gunsmith trade is anyone's guess because those are professions that usually don't go together.

Stevens makes Chase see the possibilities of real stardom and of course there's a romance going. For Barrie Chase who arrived too late for Hollywood musicals, this a chance to display her talents. Not a bad episode from Bonanza, a more unusual one at that." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com
