According to "Moscowskie starosty" Isadora Duncan's perfomance at the Solodovnik Theatre greatly disappointed the audience and,supposably, Duncan herself. The journalists called her dancing as "monotonous and viscous",also noting her plump figure and excessive nudity.

Possible murder of Isadora Duncan,part 1.

   Eighty seven years ago Isadora Duncan was killed in a car incident. Althought  the cause of her death was clear, not everybody of her friends belived that it was just an accident. Some of them hinted or  openly declareted that she was assassinated.

   There are, at least, three versions of her death. The first one is official . Her death was caused by scarf that stuck in  a wheel of  the car.

 The second one - Isadora was cursed. According to Mary Desti's book "Isadora Duncan's end" and Brooklyn Daily Eagle Newspaper, she was cursed by a very famous film vamp. One day in Paris , Mary and Duncan were ridding in a car with a vamp actress and her young man. Isadora had just "packed off" a man, feeling that "his only salvation was in getting away" from the vamp. He was in a highly nervous state owing to the girl's spiritualistic experiments. The famous "vamp" rose sudddenly and majestically to her feet in the car and screamed, "You have taken my mate from me. What about my child?"
