N wire 432-4569 145 George street Toronto 484 - 6430 Ontario M5A 2M6 November 7 1986 can Dear Ms. Barton , At long last I have been able to xerox for you the five articles on Maud Allan , as I believe that Dance Chronicle declined to send you copies . copies . For the record , the first article is the weakest , so please don't be put off by it . That same period has turned into 108 mss . pages for my biography . Concordia University wants me to try to visit them in February but as I will have no academic funds available to me at that time , I will only be able to do so if I can give several talks , each with an honorarium of some sort , to cover travel and other expenses . While I intend to approach Waterloo and similar institutes to see if they would be interested , it strikes me that you may have some non academic suggestions / leads you might be able to furnish me . Perhaps through your organization and / or contacts you suggest something- after you have read the enclosed ? I have been in contact with Robert Williams , who showed great interest in my project . Whether he will be able or willing to publish any of it is at present unclear . Recently I received a tape of the several records the Cherniavsky Trio made in Australia in 1927- amongst the works are at least four to which Maud Allan danced . What with the costume , this music , and the accounts of the Salome dance I have collected ( recent sample enclosed ) perhaps some Canadian dance group will one day work on a " reconstruction " - such as will be given in California in the Spring- Ruth St. Denis ' Salome , the Dance historians , ' meeting ? Surely Maud Allan's interpretation was of far greater influence than any of her contemporaries . If you can be in any way instrumental in helping me set UP some Sort of " itinerary " I would grateful . It would , of course , allow me to bring along the 2 Salome costumes in my possession .
