    A very romantic tutu as by the 1930s tutus were usually shorter in length. The traditional tutu was made of 6 layers of tulle reaching the mid calf. By the 1930s dancers performed to different styles of music and this led to a change in the ballet costumes. The classic ballgown was a popular choice for female dancers.

    “Canadian dancer, Allan trained as a musician before developing a unique expressive style of dance, performing barefoot and in loose garments. She made her debut in Vienna in 1903 and achieved fame (and notoriety) with her sensational Vision of Salome, which she first performed at the Palace Theatre, London, 1908. She toured widely during the First World War but her career came to an end when, after losing a libel trial in 1918, she was exposed as the sister of a murderer and shunned by theatres. She died in obscurity in a Los Angeles convalescence home”

    A different account:

    “Maud had had a very successful career and was famous for her exotic “Dance of the Seven Veils”. But in 1818, MP Noel Pemberton Billings published an article which accused her of being a “lesbian ally of German wartime conspirators”. Maud Allan sued for libel – and lost – which led to the end of her career in Europe, and the beginning of her financial struggles to maintain the house. With the help of Lloyd George, she was granted a new 16-year lease on the West Wing in 1934, and relinquished the remainder of the building. Crown Estate”

    “During WWII the rest of the building was commandeered for military use. Miss Allan stayed on in the West wing, but the house became uninhabitable when it was bombed in 1942. She was then 69 years old, but drove an ambulance in London for a year before returning to America, where she spent 13 years working as a draughtswoman at MacDonald Aircraft in Santa Monica. She died in a nursing home in LA, aged 83”
