...taken to see her, did a toe-dance of her own composition. Pavlowa saw talent and beauty of face and body. She spoke encouragingly, advised Mrs. Page to take Ruth to Chicago to study during the summer with the Pavlowa Ballet. There followed further study in Manhattan under Adolph Bolm while the necessary general education was attended to at a suitable school for girls. Then in 1918, while Dr. Page and a son were with the A. E. F. in France, Ruth met quite by accident Victor D'Andre, husband of Pavlowa, at a Manhattan Sunday-night concert. He suggested...
...returned to the U. S., Ruth was given the leading role in John Alden Carpenter's ballet, The Birthday of the Infanta, presented by the Chicago Civic Opera Company, later in Manhattan and other U. S. cities. Engagements and prestige came fast.

Poor Petrushka, superbly done by Adolf Bolm, danced and danced, wriggled and writhed, beat his breast, accomplished nothing, became in the end just the pitiful ghost of the brave puppet he was. Florence Rudolph was the ballerina; Giuseppe Bonfiglio, the dashing Moor who won her; Serge Sondeikine, the author of the dazzling bright sets; Stravinsky, the genius in back of it all, Stravinsky at his best-sure, reckless, rhythmical, vivid...
...Malmud H. drew a bye in the 135-pound class which entitles him to meet H. M. Kullman '27, who took a decision from J. T. Bolm 2 G. A. S. In the 145-pound class W. F. Green '28 defeated R. S. Sykes '27, and J. C. Hinkle '27 defeated H. G. Dorman '26, both by decisions. A. W. Cravan 3L and H. R. Wood '27 were the only ones entered in the 158-pounds class, so their bout was in off until the finals...
