		The day Sol Hurok died he had lunched with Andres Segovia, met with Rudolf Nureyev and was on his way to see David Rockefeller when he collapsed of a heart attack.
		Hurok (1888-1974), who was born in an obscure Ukrainian village, traveled a long way to become probably the greatest impresario ever, a promoter of world-class ballet, performing companies, opera stars and musicians for some 50 years.
		For as Robinson shows, Hurok was as much a creation designed to dazzle the crowds as were the stars, who ranged from Pavlova and Chaliapin in the early years to Isaac Stern, Van Cliburn and the Moiseyev Dance Company later, all of whom he proudly offered under his "Sol Hurok Presents" rubric.

		Why doesn't he work for a living?" Pavlova, whom Hurok eventually represented, aroused gentler emotions in her American public but rarely as the doomed Odette or Giselle; because there were no local ballet companies in the U.S. when she toured, she appeared most often in vaudeville.
		At Hurok's insistence, he was portrayed by David Wayne, who neither looked nor sounded like him (Isaac Stern said, "Hurok speaks six languages--and all of them are Yiddish").
		Many of the most famous musicians of his time never regretted entrusting their careers to him, often on the basis of nothing more legally binding than a handshake to clinch the deal; yet the directors of the several companies known as someone or other's "Ballet Russe" were enraged by his intrigues and interference.

	Dance Magazine : Sol Hurok: America's dance impresario. @ HighBeam Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Impresario Sol Hurok, who arguably did more (under the ubiquitous marquee "S. Hurok Presents") to create an American audience for classical ballet than any other single figure in our history, loved to tell stories.
		Since facts never constrained him, and since a dynamic rags-to-riches saga was also good for business, this master of self-aggrandizement provided the edifying story of his extravagant life with countless and increasingly colorful variations over the years.
		A compulsive and shameless booster, he deftly navigated his self-portrait from the spoken word to countless newspaper accounts to two ghostwritten volumes and finally to the silver screen.
