I knew that I could form a com
pany with Richard Nemanoff and
make a success with it. We had
offers from the Mar del Plata
Club, one of the biggest Municipal
Casinos and theaters which open
for the summer season, and from
many other places that were
anxious to have a company of
ballet proceeding from the Colon.
I approached Don Faustino da
Rosa, the theatrical tycoon and
capitalist, and through him ob
tained a contract with the Teatro
Cervantes. This theater was the
property of the Dias de Mendozas,
a famous old couple of dramatic
artists whose company had been
coming to Argentina for years and
always played to a full house.
They had made a fortune there
and, in tribute to the Argentine
public, had built a magnificent
theater. It was pure Spanish in
architecture, with an interim- of
extraordinary beauty, and had
■ Cost a fortune. It was just fin
ished and the most expensive and
smartest place in Buenos Aires.
For Don Faustino to offer me
such a spot to open in was a com
pliment that left me gasping, and
when I talked it over with Nem
anoff and Maitre Maurage, they
were so enthusiastic that they
. gave me the courage to sign the
contract.
The theater was a big house,
and when I started to get the
company together and put my
decors and costumes ir\Jo execu
tion, I had no idea of what I was
getting into or what expenses I
would be confronted with. .
Richard Nemanoff and Maurage

GRIFFIN (GEORGIA) NEWS
eians and artists were on sal
aries, as was the corps de ballet.
It was indeed a gamble, and I
spent nearly all the money I had,
to have the black-and-white decor
of the “Harlequin Noir” properly
painted by Peralta, the best
seenograph in Buenos Aires, as
well as a garden set for the “Syl
phides” in the second part of the
program. I also had a painted
closing curtain and the cyclorama
for the divertissements, which was
very costly. So by the time we
opened, I found myself confronted
by an impressive list of debts.
The night before our debut, the
evening papers were full of the
news that Anna Pavlova had
cabled, announcing that she would
give some functions almost imme
diately in the Coliseo. This scared
us nearly out of our wits, for
there was no possible chance of
our company’s surviving in com
petition with hers. -However, the
contract had been signed, pub
licity released and the shew was
ready. I was up to my ears in
debts, so there was nothing to do
but put on the best performances
we could before she arrived.
When we opened that night to
a full house, the show went over
with a bang. Every critic in
Buenos Aires gave us good no
tices, and both Faustino da Rosa
and Dias de Mendoza were de
lighted with the entire produc
tion.
* * *
E VAR engaged MENDEZ, as business whom we had
manager,
lined up work for us for several
months ahead as soon as we fin
ished a three-week hold-over at
the Cervantes. We played several
towns in-the Argentine and finally
got the contract for the Prado
in Montevideo, Uruguay, that
Anna Pavlova" was supposed to
play. It was an open air theater
in the Prado Park and had a
terrace of concrete instead of a
stage. The reason Pavlova did not
appear there was supposed to be
that she had found out that the
Uruguayan Commission of Fiestas,
who were sponsoring her engage
ment, could pot build a wooden
floor over the concrete to suit her,
and so she had turned down the
engagement. I don’t know why
she never came to Buenos Aires
that year, but she didn't, and I
am sure this was our salvation.
T had been getting letters from
mother on every boat, asking what
on earth I Was; doing, and why I
had not returned as soon as the
Colon closed: I had not dared
write to either of my parents that.
I'had put on my own company
without any money or experience.
I also received a letter from father
telling me that he would be with
my mother for Christmas, and as
she complained dramatically that
the selfish behavior of both my
brother and myself was driving
her into her grave, he begged me
to get leave from the manager of
the company (which made me feel
very guilty) and come to London
to spend Christmas with them.
There was nothing I would refuse
my father, but it was an impos
sibility to leave for Europe be
fore the end of December, when
the Mar del Plata engagement
terminated. I decided to give the
management, of the company to
Ncmanoff and Evnr Mendez and
leave about the first week of Jan
uary for_Europe, returning late in
April for the opening of the Colon
in May, for which I had already
received my contract as “Primera
Ballerina Absoluta,” the star role
in the ballet.
,What I wanted more than any
thing else in the world was to see
my father again and to be with
him in the Paris I loved so well
—to tell him all about my work
and the company, for X hated to
deceive him about anything I was
doing. lie always wrote me wise,
kind letters and continued to send
me an allowance regularly, al
though I had written to tell him,
after Montevideo, that I was mak
ing money and did not require
anything from him for the present. and! 1
I would be 16 in January
already felt very mature. ~
