Unlike his famed predecessor, Jack Johnson, Joe Louis has no dissipations. For amusement, he listens to the radio, buys ice-cream for his young Detroit cronies, visits cinemas with his sisters whose names are Eulalia, Emmarell, Vunies, Dulcinea.

The instrument of her return was a ballet based on Cervantes' Don Quixote, Mme. Pavlowa taking the dual role of the Barcelona innkeeper's daughter and Dulcinea del Toboso.
