He began to break free from tradition in 1921, when he became an instructor in theory at the Cleveland Institute, where he worked under Ernest Bloch.

Understanding will scarcely be helped by the movie, My Geisha, although Scriptwriter Norman Krasna says he based it on real life-all about a star...
...famed Gion geisha school. The reason she is pretending to be a geisha is that she has a role in a movie in which she will portray an American actress pretending to be a geisha.
