Music: Anna’s Adieu

Anna Pavlova, aged 39, Titania of the Imperial Russian school of romantic choregraphy, is soon to embark on a farewell tour of the U. S. This in spite of the fact that her last appearances here were also farewell appearances. This time, however, it is “positively farewell,” because Anna, says her manager, S. Hurok, is weary of the discomforts of travel. Consequently, a rather unexacting final circuit has been arranged. It will consist of four weeks at Covent Garden, London; three and one-half weeks at the Metropolitan Opera House, Manhattan; then a “season” in San Francisco; finally a first, last and only tour of Australia. Thereafter the most skilful toes in the world will be on view only to a select band of pupils in the Pavlova London home. Anna expects to devote the remainder of her days to painting and sculpture.
