For years Swoboda was the most
popular of the leading dancers of
the Imperial Ballet. His inborn ar

brought most Russian people flock

movie star, besides.

But the turmoil of the Revolution
caught him in its clutches and he was
whirled out of the country along
with others of his sei.t. As a refu'

by a Paris movie company who car
ried him triumphantly off to Paris,
Here he stayed awhile, but he was
soon lured to the dancing stage in
London. Here his European fame
began. He danced with Ida Ruben

in Barcelona, in Madrid, in Germany.
He covered all Europe in a journey
that soon became a triumphal tour
