    This is Anna Pavlova, Russian ballerina. The dessert Pavlova, is named for her, btw. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Pavlova

Russian prima ballerina Anna Pavlova arriving at Central Station, Brisbane, 1926

    With her 1926 tour of Australian cities including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide , Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, formerly principal artist of the Russian Imperial Ballet, became the first world-famous ballerina to tour Australia and around the world. Greeted by a crowd of 10,000 people on arrival by train from Melbourne, Pavlova had become well-known to world audiences for her signature role in The Dying Swan, a ballet created for her, which was of only four minutes duration. In rare public comments, she exhorted Australians to support the art she loved: “If you would like to do something in your country for my art, my Russian art, then I shall be glad to help you. I wish you happiness and prosperity. Your duty is to help your country to get these things.” The ‘Pavlova’ dessert was created in Anna Pavlova’s honour during her tour of Australia and New Zealand in the 1920s. To this day, the creation of the ‘Pavlova’ is claimed by both countries. Source www.governor.nsw.gov.au/government-house/stories/in-famou...

    "ACCIDENT," SAYS PAVLOVA.; But Novikoff's Wife Says Slap Was Intentional -- He Has Quit Special Cable to THE NEW YORK TIMES. August 10, 1913, Sunday LONDON, Aug. 9. -- The explanation which is not forthcoming of the incident between Mme. Pavlova and Novikoff at the Palace Theatre has revived in one's memories the Pavlova-Mordkin quarrel. [ END OF FIRST PARAGRAPH ] See: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9506E3DC113BE6...

    See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Pavlova Despite the fact that Novikoff said he would not dance with Pavlova again (in NYT article cited by maorlando), it would appear that he did come to the US the following year and dance with her. See NYT of April 7, 1914 "PAVLOWA IN NEW BALLET.; Excels in "Amarilla," with Mr. Novikoff, at the Manhattan." query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9801E7DA163AE633A...

    See michaelminn.net/andros/index.php?novikoff_laurent Laurent Novikoff (1888-1956) graduated from Moscow's Bolshoi Ballet School in 1906. He danced alternatively between Diaghilev (1909 and 1919-1921) and Pavlova's company (1911-1914 and 1921-1928). Novikoff was ballet master at the Chicago Opera from 1919-1933, and the Metropolitan Opera in New York from 1941-1945. See www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview?pi=nla.pic-an11030051-5 for another picture of him. The National Library of Australia also has lots of pictures of Pavlova.
