Mascot Moskovina Vesely Papers

The Mascot Moskovina Vesely Papers contain 21 autographed letters, an unaddressed decorative envelope stamped from Buenos Aires, and 4 journal pages regarding a meeting with Anna Pavlova in 1914. The correspondence covers the year Mascot was employed as a dancer within Anna Pavlova's ballet company in South America, with topics such as the reception of the audience, performances, and her attitude towards the company. The majority of the letters are addressed to Mrs. Billie Morton and her ward, "Little Nondas." Mascot often provides dancing advice to the young girl, who was interested in ballet instruction, and included illustrations of dance costumes and classical poses used in the company. The collection materials are dated 1914-1920.
