She was later known as Ketty Galanta, or de Galanta and Katherine Galanta, acting in movies and the stage. books.google.com/books?id=HdM_AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA1128&... www.imdb.com/name/nm0301620/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 ibdb.com/person.php?id=41639 There is a 1917 biographical sketch in the Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger for September 22, 1917: "GALANTA DANCED FOR THE EX-CZAR But Since "Imperial" Ballet Is No More She Joins "Wanderer" A Russian dancer who came to America last season with Diaghileff's Ballet Russe and made such a hit here that she never returned to Russia is the principal feature of the ballet of "The Wanderer" at the Metropolitan Opera House. Her name Is Ketty de Galanta, and she has already attracted much attention because of her exceptional dancing and her beauty. Galanta is a graduate of the famous Imperial Opera House ballet, of Petrograd. She has been a dancer since she was six years old, when her parents in Russia entered her as a pupil of the Imperial Ballet. The training is so severe from infancy that now Galanta is an agile, lithe, sinuous and very athletic young woman, who also is the possessor of a pair of great dark eyes which dance and sparkle as she talks. She came to America with Nijinsky, and was dancing in this country when the Russian revolution took place. Inasmuch as the Imperial Russian Ballet is an institution which was sponsored by the Czar and paid for from his private purse, the whole establishment was abolished when the Czar lost his throne. Mademoiselle Galanta, therefore decided to remain in America, and signed a contract with her fellow countryman Morris Gest. who is also a Russian, to dance and act under the direction of the firm of Elliott, Comstock and Gest for the next five years. Her appearance in the ballet of "The Wanderer" is the first step toward ultimate stardom, for her personality is so striking that she is being taught English in the hope that she will become a dramatic star in several years." chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045211/1917-09-22/ed-...
