San Francisco Examiner Nov 29, 1910

San Francisco has produced in the famous "Turkey Trot" dance, A novelty in terpsichorean art, which is to be exported to the imperial palace of the Czar of the Russia's for the entertainment of Nicholas II and his court, and then is to be the basis of a new ballet which is expected, will create a furor in the capitols of Europe.

Anna Pavlova, the delightful Russian artist, who has dazzled at the Valencia Theater for the last week was delighted with the novelty. She tried it herself on the floor of the dance hall where she saw it, and after learning it declared that it was best and most and most original terpsichorean production. Delightful to behold and artistically satisfying.

 "I will take it to Russia," she said  "and I will introduce it through out Europe."

   Pavlova was on the "coast" as a member of a big party , In which were some local society people, in addition to the celebrated danseur who admired the "Trot" .Mordikin, the latter's wife, Madam Pazitszkaiam, Count Centenani, Stanely sharp ,Theodore Steir the orchestra conductor, and other leading members of the company.

 "The Turkey Trot is a wonderful dance," said Pavlova, after she had seen it, admired it, learned it and tried it in one of the pacific-street dance halls. "It is something quite different from anything I've known before. I like it. I will use it. I am going to dance it and introduce it in Russian and throughout all Europe. It is full of possibilities. The life and intensity of it appeal to me very strongly."

    " I will have a great and beautiful ballet made of it, a ballet that will astonish the world. That is a wonderful dance. It is the only American dance that I have seen that is original, in which there is no evidence in borrowing from something else. Such dancers are rare, and I feel that I have made a discovery here."
