I have seen photographs recently of crowds in the Imperial Theater at Moscow where I danced many times, enjoying the show with happy faces, where scores and hundreds would never have been allowed near the place under the old regime.

What Russia of the Future can do was first brought before the world by the performance of Mr. Tchitcherin at the Genoa Conference. I think the world expected the Bolshevik delegates to arrive in a box car, to eat with their knives, and converse in an unintelligible jargon that would make them a laughing stock. Instead, Air. Tchitcherin gets up, with his marvelous command of thirteen languages, dominates the entire table, whipsaws some of the most brilliant diplomats in Europe and generally proves, as you Americans call it, the “surprise package” of the Conference. For several years now I have made dancing more or less of a sideline, and have been devoting myself to the cinema. I have done this deliberately — for* some day I am going to take into Russia a company which will make Russian moving pictures in Russian backgrounds, giving to a great people their first real opportunity to profit by the great educational advantages of the cinema. What Russia now needs is some medium that will educate quickly. It takes years to learn to read and write, but impressions thru the eye from a moving picture screen are absorbed rapidly. I firmly believe that the cinema will be the most important factor in making the new Russia. I have discussed my plans with such leaders of American motion pictures as Cecil B. de Mille, Jesse L. Lasky, George Fitzmaurice, William de Mille and others, and they agree with me that in the history of the world has the motion picture been afforded a most glorious opportunity. I danced in Europe, entertained royalty before kings fell. I hope to go back with a greater mission, the education of sleeping millions thru the magic of the picture camera.
