sister Of Anna Pavlowa. famous Rus

in poverty today in Chicago. sewing

Five years ago Vera Paviowa was
living in Moscow. She had but one
more step before she became the star

let. Her mother married after the
death of her father and Vera became
a member Of family of Count Co.
litzin. Then came the change in the
Russian government. All her rela-
tives except her sister Anna were
killed. For months Vera was held
captive in a Russian prison, suffer-
ing from a stab wound in her back.
When she was released she came to
Chicago, but the wound would not
heal and she had not entirely re-
covered from typhus. Finally she
was taken to a hospital. She said
Anna had given her some financial
assistance and had visited her in the
hospital when she was here this
spring.

of his home, Lux declared Cheyenne
