Atlanta Ballet shelves 'Gone With the Wind' production

ATLANTA - The Atlanta Ballet has delayed plans to put Rhett Butler in tights for a ``Gone With the Wind&#39;&#39; ballet, citing fundraising problems. <br> <br> The ballet secured rights to the work two years ago and planned to stage a new ballet in 2005, for its 75th anniversary. <br> <br> But board members felt the company would not be able to raise $1 million needed to create a full-scale ballet during a budget crunch. Incoming board chairman Sam Moss said it was ``not judicious&#39;&#39; to proceed with an expensive dance work based on Margaret Mitchell&#39;s Civil War-era novel. <br> <br> Artistic Director John McFall was slated to create the piece but said it was ``certainly being shelved.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> ``Fundraising is down, and we just felt this was prudent,&#39;&#39; he said. ``I&#39;m reticent to take a stab when we can address this again.&#39;&#39;
