Lisa Maslova

[Jane Simpson]

Someone has asked me for any information about this dancer, who appeared with the Theodore Kosloff Ballet in the 1930's.

Does anyone know more about her than can be gleaned from the NYPL entries?

Thankyou, rg - I don't think my correspondent knew about either the Mad Tristan film or Lute Song.
