@@leilal8053 They were creepy times with beheadings, crucifixions, blood sports in the arena, the slaughter of innocent children, slavery, debauchery, vomitoriums, incest, persecution of Christians, etc.

@@miriam7266 Salomé was not a "popular" success, but the same could be said of Nijinsky's ballets. Only a minority of people like ballet or art films. They don't earn a lot of money and mostly appeal to the wealthy elite. Even the films of the legendary Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova did not sell out movie houses. It's a shame there are no films of the great Vaslav Nijinsky, but I doubt he would have become a matinee idol. Nazimova was not a professional dancer. Salomé is not a ballet. It is a play with a short dance sequence, so you are comparing apples with oranges. I admire that Nazimova cared more about art than money. It is only when artists are free from the constraints of someone else's budget or opinion that they can truly express themselves.

@@CrosbieLane Thank you for your very kind comment! It's a pleasure and honor to hear from you. 💗

@@GildaTabarez Tis my honor having found you!🥰

I can't see the dislikes which is just as well since there are lots of trolls who have nothing positive to contribute.

@@GildaTabarez I imagine some trolls give false positives as well. Happy trolls!

@@JulieBlankenship-w6d She Dances Alone (1981) was directed by Robert Dornhelm; screenplay by Paul Davids; additional dramatic elements by Bud Cort; narration written by Jon Bradshaw; director of photography, Karl Kofler; edited by Tina Frese; music by Gustavo Santaolalla; dance consultant, Paul Szilard; produced by Federico de Laurentiis and Earle Mack; distributed by Continental. I love the photos of Kyra Nijinsky in costume for Le Spectre de la Rose (like her father). Vanity Fair published this one by Cecil Beaton on July 1, 1935: condenaststore.com/featured/kyra-nijinsky-in-le-spectre-de-la-rose-cecil-beaton.html?product=acrylic-print

@@lindaparker7199 Thank you, dear Lindy! I just sent you an email telling you all about it. Fourth of July used to be my favorite holiday as a kid, but since the ban on home fireworks in SF years ago, it's not quite the same. Still, it sounded like World War III for five hours straight. I guess inflation hasn't affected illegal fireworks sales.

Sorry it's not your cup of tea. I used to think it was weird, too, just from looking at stills in an old movie book. Then I finally saw it on RUclips and was surprised at how good it is. It just needed better music.

@@art2liv4 Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

@@elektra9474 Maria Ewing was amazing! She delivered on the sensuality expected from this role. Thank you for sharing.

@@GildaTabarez Ewing was a very gifted opera singer as well as being able to dance. She probably worked out a lot, judging by the musculature in her arms.

@elektra9474 Yes, Ewing had the stamina for this difficult role. She could dance, but the choreography needed more veil work. I prefer veils that float in the air, like Nazimova's did. Ewing's costume looked like a modern 3/4 slip. A full length dress would have made her look less lanky and more exotic. However, her great singing and intense acting more than made up for these details. I thought Nazimova's dance costume looked too modern as well. Ewing was in such great shape, she could have rocked a more revealing costume such as seen in the painting The Apparition (1876) by Gustave Moreau, which was one of the inspirations for Oscar Wilde’s play.

@@GildaTabarez Fair comment about the veil and the dress. You are much more observant than I am about the details.

@@elektra9474 My longtime favorite operatic Salome is Teresa Stratas, but Rita Hayworth had the best costume. The soundtrack for this video clip is from Salome (1975) directed by Götz Friedrich: ruclips.net/video/uEUhGRe53dY/видео.htmlsi=-upi_ch0gBnC1MSd

Like Rosalind Russell said in "Picnic" (1955): "My those ancient people were depraved."

Thank you for your reply! The leaves are too high for me to reach but a friend took a photo for me the other day which I have uploaded to Pinterest: pin.it/5XKgQ61LJ An app on my friend's Apple cell phone said mulberry and so did Google Lens on my android cell. But I have never seen any berries on the tree. I was thinking maybe an elm tree. There are 30 to 40 different kinds of elm. The leaves are not hairy. A neighbor thinks it's buckthorn but again I've never seen berries on it. Thank you in advance for any ideas.

If the link to the photo is not live, you can see the still photo in my Pinterest account called "Gilda Tabarez" in the category of Gardens.
