Geva, Tamara: [ACJ]
(March 17, 1907 - December 9, 1997) Tamara Geva performed in Ziegfeld's musical Whoopee (1928-1929).
"Tamara Geva, was born into wealth in St. Petersburg, Russia, as Tamara Gergeyeva. Because of her family’s Muslim background, she could enroll in the Maryinsky Theater School only after the Russian Revolutionary regime did away with the stipulation that enrollees be Christian. She married the School’s ballroom dance instructor, George Balanchine, in 1923 and became part of his experimental company. She toured with Balanchine, joined the Ballet Russe with him, and later Balaieff’s company of Russian exile dancers, the Chauve-Souris. She premiered two of her husband’s ballets in New York in 1927 and created a sensation. Ziegfeld hired her for the musical Whoopee, and she commenced a storied career as a dancer and actress on stage and in films. Highlights of her stage career include dancing in the musicals “Three’s a Crowd” and “Flying Colors.” She was a principal in Balanchine’s first company, the American Ballet. Her greatest Broadway moment was dancing the famous “Slaughter on Tenth Avenue” ballet in “On Your Toes.” Her film appearances included “Their Big Moment,” “Manhattan Merry-Go-Round,” and “Orchestra Wives.” She choreographed the ballet movie, “Spectre of the Rose.” Later in her life she returned to the stage as an actress in Shaw, Euripides, and most memorably in Sartre’s “No Exit.” Her memoir, Split Seconds (1972), is one of the finest dancer autobiographies written in English."

Dorothy Gish: (March 11, 1898 - June 4, 1968) & Lillian Gish: (October 14, 1893 – February 27, 1993) Dorothy Gish performed on Broadway from 1928-1950. She was also a film actress from 1912-1963. Lillian Gish performed on Broadway from 1913-1975. She was also a film actress from 1912-1987.
"Not much as been said about the relationship between James Abbe and ACJ--both of whom lived in the same building. When D. W. Griffith moved his movie operation east, Lillian Gish installed herself in NYC and came to know and admire James Abbe and his work on broadway. Abbe was hired to do special publicity shots for most of the Griffith east coast movies, including "Orphans of the Storm." He no doubt arranged this sitting of the Gish sisters in their French Revolutionary era costumes from "Orphans" with Johnston. Lillian Gish was the actress with the greatest eye for photographic talent of her generation." [David S. Shields]
