The ballet Russe de Monte Carlo was in town. You could always tell what rooms the dancers had in the Auditorium Hotel by standing outside and looking up to the windows that hand colored tights hanging in them to dry. A big party was given for the Ballet Russe dancers and the students from the Serge Nadejdin School. Serge Denham was standing at the entrance — all in black — announcing the dancers as they came in. Irina Borowska was the star that night for her debut in "Unicorn". Lobster, champagne, and caviar were served. The next time I saw Borowska, she was standing in a perfect square pattern on the linoleum floor, circled by a few cigarette butts, behind the white line waiting to sign for her unemployment check.
