MCCLELLAND & STEWART INC . , 481 UNIVERSITY AVENUE , SUITE 900 , TORONTO , CANADA M5G 2E9 TELEPHONE 416-598-1114 FAX 598-7764 M & S CANADIAN PUBLISHERS March 20 , 1991 Laurence Adams Dance Magazine 145 George Street Toronto , Ontario M5A 2M6 Dear Laurence , On May 28 , 1991 , McClelland & Stewart plan to publish Salome Dancer written by Felix Cherniavsky . Salome Dancer is the biography of the Canadian - dancer Maud Allan . I am enclosing the page proofs of the book in the hope that it might be suitable material to excerpt in Dance Magazine . Maud was born in Toronto in 1873 and grew up in San Francisco . She then spent her life travelling extensively through Europe and North America as a concert pianist and later in her career , a dancer . A contemporary of Isadora Duncan , she was regal , charming and passionate . She was also a blithe liar , dominated by her mother , and profoundly in love with her brother . Indeed , some critics hold that her most famous dance , " The Vision of Salome " is largely a working out of her feelings for her brother , rapist and murder , Theo Allan . All in all , Maud was the inscrutable femme fatale of the Decadents . Her story is fascinating , unique and sure to entertain your readers . If you are interested in excerpting any portion of this manuscript , please contact me at the above number . Also remember that all excerpts must be compared to the final manuscript / book and cannot be reprinted without permission from McClelland & Stewart . Yours sincerely , Saran French Sarah French Subsidiary Rights Co - ordinator encl . PRODUCED ON RECYCLED PAPER
