| Anna Pavlova Dies at Height of Fame |
 | | Pavlova, who died after a three-day illness with influenza and pleurisy, was 45 years old and lacked only eight days of being 46, as her birthday was Jan. 31. |
 | | Pavlova was always partial to the dance of the dying swan, and for years she kept swans in the garden of her home in Hempstead, London, so she could study their movements. |
 | | As a child of 10 Pavlova saw for the first time a ballet at the Imperial Ballet School, attached to the Marianski Theatre in Leningrad, and after that, she often said, dancing became the dream of her life. |
