		Since Persian dance is traditionally taught by mothers to their daughters, young women performed at home for family parties, not in public performances.

		Prince Mirza has no hope of establishing his claim to the Persian throne, which had been occupied since 1925 by Reza Khan Pahlavi, former minister of war, who was proclaimed shah by a constituent assembly.
		Sultan Ahmad willed his estate to his mother, eight wives and four especially favored children, but it is Prince Mirza's contention that the will is invalid under a rule of the Qajar dynasty, by which dynastic property automatically passes to the head of the family--which the Seattle man claims to be.
		In addition to the New York property the deposed shah left a huge fortune scattered around England, France, Switzerland and Persia ---including, incidentally, most of the Persian crown jewels, which Prince Mirza contends to have been the property of the royal family and not of the country as a whole.
