...present company's 55 dancers are competent, and some are first-rate. Lupe Serrano was a dazzling, feather-light prima ballerina in the "Black Swan" pas de deux, Sallie Wilson was a dreamy and hungry psyche trapped in Sargasso's sea of weeds, Toni Lander's split leaps in Etudes were electric, and Veronika Mlakar in Giselle made a Queen of the Willis of intense malevolence. Royes Fernandez is the company's able, and sometimes distinguished premier danseur, and young Bruce Marks has the extra ebullience that sets off a star from the corps...
While Ibsen required five acts to get his point across, Cullberg managed it in a few taut, well-constructed scenes. The curtain rose on a pony-tailed Ellida (Lupe Serrano), her back to the audience, her gaze fixed yearningly on a sea-green curtain. Presently the sailor (Royes Fernandez) appeared and, in a sequence of broad, sweeping movements, lured Ellida into a seductive dance that had the two of them writhing like a couple of fighting fish.

...frescoes in the old expropriated chapel that has been part of Mexico's Agricultural School at Chapingo since 1920. Part of the chapel at Chapingo he decorated with an agricultural allegory in which the earth is personified by a series of nudes. They were modeled by Lupe Marin, the tempestuous, olive-skinned beauty who was his second wife...
When Rivera got home from Moscow he married Frida Kahlo, a pretty, sloe-eyed art student who had sworn to her schoolmates, at 13, that she would some day bear him a child (she never has, but Lupe had borne him two girls). Diego and Frida moved into her sparkling Spanish-colonial home in Coyoacan (a Mexico City suburb). There, in the course of time, came many old and new friends of Diego. One of them, after Diego soured on Stalin, was Leon Trotsky. For almost two years (1938-39), Trotsky lived as the Riveras' guest, writing his life...
