1
00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:07.900
We're never going to see that.

2
00:00:08.060 --> 00:00:08.400
Oh, all right.

3
00:00:08.620 --> 00:00:11.060
Because when you gesture to Peter, we'll cut to Peter.

4
00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:11.880
We won't see that.

5
00:00:13.420 --> 00:00:13.420


6
00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:16.040
So this is the Tibetan prayer.

7
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.400
This is Bars and Tone on channel one and channel two is a loud microphone.

8
00:00:19.540 --> 00:00:24.780
This will be a minute to Bars and this is for Tom Ferris Radio and the film production

9
00:00:24.780 --> 00:00:26.980
is done with Peter Arquivaltapes and the documentary.

10
00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:28.340
It's a four-way play.

11
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:31.120
They're extraordinary, aren't they?

12
00:00:31.260 --> 00:00:31.840
I'm so glad I got that.

13
00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:34.340
That's Chinese, but I love this little bit.

14
00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:36.400
That's a typical Balinese dance.

15
00:00:37.260 --> 00:00:40.180
And when you do that, Ruth, turn and show it to the camera.

16
00:00:40.580 --> 00:00:42.220
All right.

17
00:00:43.540 --> 00:00:47.240
It's your friends that you're inviting into the house here.

18
00:00:48.040 --> 00:00:48.440
That's it.

19
00:00:49.780 --> 00:00:55.820
Do you want to go, would it be better if you came around here and we're shooting this way?

20
00:00:55.980 --> 00:00:56.720
Has she talked about this?

21
00:00:56.800 --> 00:00:57.040
No.

22
00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:57.620
Oh, okay.

23
00:00:58.600 --> 00:00:59.720
Everybody clear.

24
00:01:02.180 --> 00:01:03.300
And action.

25
00:01:07.180 --> 00:01:14.620
Well, this I call my Tibetan room because that is a Tibetan prayer wheel, which my father

26
00:01:14.620 --> 00:01:17.620
brought all the way from the Orient to myself.

27
00:01:18.260 --> 00:01:22.480
I was here in America someplace and he carried it all the way because he thought I'd like

28
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:24.280
it and I do like it.

29
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:26.160
And then here are a lot of dolls.

30
00:01:26.160 --> 00:01:27.180
I love dolls.

31
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:29.100
These are Balinese.

32
00:01:29.140 --> 00:01:30.180
I love this little one.

33
00:01:30.180 --> 00:01:36.160
This looks exactly like the little Balinese dancers and just all those exaggerated stylized

34
00:01:36.820 --> 00:01:37.260
movements.

35
00:01:37.580 --> 00:01:38.820
That one's Javanese.

36
00:01:38.980 --> 00:01:40.560
We're rolling.

37
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:42.220
Any time, Ruth.

38
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.220
So this is my Tibetan room.

39
00:01:46.380 --> 00:01:56.140
I call it Tibetan room because this is a Tibetan prayer wheel, which my father brought all

40
00:01:56.140 --> 00:01:59.380
the way because he thought I'd like it and I do like it.

41
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:00.220
I love it.

42
00:02:00.420 --> 00:02:04.160
And then these dolls underneath here are dolls that I've collected.

43
00:02:04.300 --> 00:02:05.700
These are mostly from Java.

44
00:02:05.880 --> 00:02:09.040
There's one little Chinese one, but these are mostly Javanese.

45
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:13.380
And I especially like this little one because that's exactly what they look like.

46
00:02:13.540 --> 00:02:17.120
Those stylized movements and very interesting.

47
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:22.720
Then over here, I like these two little figures.

48
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:24.060
You know what they are?

49
00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:30.440
Chinese use them on the corners of their roofs to keep the evil spirits away.

50
00:02:30.920 --> 00:02:33.640
I don't know what that's for, but anyway, it's amusing.

51
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:36.700
This is my Peabody Award.

52
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:42.200
These are Moroccan weddings, which Andre Delpho did all around this room.

53
00:02:42.600 --> 00:02:46.120
The Moroccan weddings are apparently something very, very special.

54
00:02:46.700 --> 00:02:48.520
This is when we were in Sicily.

55
00:02:48.540 --> 00:02:49.900
That's Mount Etna.

56
00:02:50.300 --> 00:02:53.360
It's a theater, an old ruin of a theater.

57
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.760
You see Mount Etna right through there.

58
00:02:56.140 --> 00:02:58.020
It's very interesting.

59
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:06.660
Here, these dolls are made by an Englishman who just recently died named Cyril Beaumont.

60
00:03:07.300 --> 00:03:09.040
I like those very much too.

61
00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:10.120
They're different characters.

62
00:03:10.320 --> 00:03:12.420
There's Lipokova and Baum.

63
00:03:13.160 --> 00:03:15.820
That's myself in The Birth of Infanta.

64
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.240
Over here, there's some more of them.

65
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.620
Those are old Flora Reval and Lydie Massine.

66
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.360
I don't know who all they are.

67
00:03:24.420 --> 00:03:27.700
Mostly Massine and Lydia Lipokova, I think.

68
00:03:28.740 --> 00:03:36.320
Again, here we are in Sicily with that gorgeous view and the Moroccan weddings again.

69
00:03:37.620 --> 00:03:43.060
Then as you come over here, that is myself as Peter Pan.

70
00:03:43.460 --> 00:03:45.820
Nicholas Remesov did that picture of me.

71
00:03:45.820 --> 00:03:48.000
I always thought of myself as Peter Pan.

72
00:03:48.100 --> 00:03:53.480
In fact, my first husband, Tom Fisher, that very extraordinary man, he always called me Peter.

73
00:03:53.720 --> 00:03:55.800
I felt like Peter for a long, long time.

74
00:03:55.860 --> 00:03:57.000
I've outgrown it now.

75
00:03:59.580 --> 00:04:02.500
Oh yes, I have some more dolls over here.

76
00:04:07.100 --> 00:04:08.440
I do like dolls.

77
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.720
This is a whole collection that I've made.

78
00:04:11.480 --> 00:04:16.700
These are little hand carved, those little tiny hand carved Japanese dolls.

79
00:04:16.820 --> 00:04:19.040
Those are Japanese paper dolls.

80
00:04:19.700 --> 00:04:21.560
Those are Indians, of course, up there.

81
00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:22.820
Indian dolls.

82
00:04:23.340 --> 00:04:26.000
But they're mostly, everything is Japanese here.

83
00:04:27.260 --> 00:04:30.280
I think they're interesting.

84
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.080
Now I'll take you to the dining room.

85
00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:38.460
Let's go to the dining room.

86
00:04:43.140 --> 00:04:45.860
Now turn towards those dolls, the other ones.

87
00:04:46.220 --> 00:04:46.520
These?

88
00:04:46.740 --> 00:04:47.880
No, the other ones you were looking at.

89
00:04:47.960 --> 00:04:48.320
Oh.

90
00:04:48.340 --> 00:04:51.300
And then start there and then turn to these and then tell your story.

91
00:04:52.220 --> 00:04:52.620
Any time.

92
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:59.640
These dolls are all by Cyril Beaumont, who is a very extraordinary Englishman.

93
00:05:00.440 --> 00:05:03.040
He had a bookstore, but he loved to make these dolls.

94
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.200
I loved them and I was dancing there.

95
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:06.860
I'd save up my money.

96
00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:08.600
I got my salary at the end of the week.

97
00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:13.580
At the end of every week I'd go over to his shop and buy one of these dolls.

98
00:05:13.640 --> 00:05:22.600
I'm so glad I did because all of the Massen and Lukwkova and Flora Reval and all the famous dancers are in these pictures.

99
00:05:22.760 --> 00:05:24.100
I love Beaumont.

100
00:05:24.980 --> 00:05:26.260
I love them.

101
00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:37.080
Okay, Ruth.

102
00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:01.220
Well, this, as you can see, is the dining room.

103
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:31.200
This is a portrait that my husband did of me in a Chinese dress that was given to me by Mei-Long Fan.

104
00:06:31.200 --> 00:06:31.200


105
00:06:31.200 --> 00:06:33.200
This is a portrait of the great Chinese actor, the great Chinese actor.

106
00:06:34.380 --> 00:06:35.560
I love that coat.

107
00:06:35.760 --> 00:06:37.360
His name is real Chinese.

108
00:06:38.660 --> 00:06:42.860
Then these are two pictures by Anthony Clave.

109
00:06:43.320 --> 00:06:48.500
He did two wonderful ballets for me and at the same time somehow I got these two pictures.

110
00:06:48.780 --> 00:06:49.540
I love them.

111
00:06:50.840 --> 00:06:58.140
Then this is a screen that Remazov had in his apartment, in his house in Palm Springs.

112
00:06:58.140 --> 00:07:03.900
I kept admiring it for so long and finally he said, oh, Rudy, take it.

113
00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:05.700
So that's how I got it.

114
00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:08.280
Now we'll try some other place.

115
00:07:17.460 --> 00:07:19.860
Okay, Ruth, anytime.

116
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:34.860
This, as you can see, is the dining room.

117
00:07:39.660 --> 00:07:50.000
This is a portrait that Delpho did of me in a classroom that Mei-Long Fan, the great Chinese actor, gave to me when I was in Piquin.

118
00:07:53.860 --> 00:08:00.760
These are two pictures by Clave called Les Trois Pastinques, the three watermelons.

119
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:02.180
That was the three watermelons.

120
00:08:02.180 --> 00:08:03.960
This is a very famous picture.

121
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:10.640
This is a screen that Nicholas Remazov had in his house in Palm Springs.

122
00:08:11.060 --> 00:08:13.320
I kept admiring it all the time.

123
00:08:13.500 --> 00:08:15.420
I said, oh, I adore that screen.

124
00:08:15.880 --> 00:08:17.840
Finally he said, well, take it, Rudy.

125
00:08:18.200 --> 00:08:20.180
So I took it and here it is.

126
00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:23.560
And now I'm going to show you another room.

127
00:08:43.820 --> 00:08:45.640
Okay, Ruth.

128
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:59.540
This room has some interesting things in it.

129
00:09:00.880 --> 00:09:05.420
That's a picture that he saw on the Gucci's bells of Edgar Allan Poe.

130
00:09:05.500 --> 00:09:07.420
It's a ballet that he did for me.

131
00:09:07.420 --> 00:09:15.200
It was such an interesting set because it grew up and up and up and then at the end it all collapses and falls down.

132
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.500
And that's in the process of it all falling down.

133
00:09:19.500 --> 00:09:24.320
And these are all by Marc Chagall, who's a very certainly imaginative artist.

134
00:09:24.640 --> 00:09:25.780
My husband got these.

135
00:09:25.800 --> 00:09:27.260
They all came in a big book.

136
00:09:27.620 --> 00:09:29.040
And I thought they were so attractive.

137
00:09:29.140 --> 00:09:32.060
They're prints, but they're gorgeous, I think.

138
00:09:32.060 --> 00:09:34.440
And that's the Arabian Nights.

139
00:09:34.900 --> 00:09:36.720
So they look nice in this room, I think.

140
00:09:37.260 --> 00:09:38.560
What else is in here?

141
00:09:39.560 --> 00:09:42.840
This is a ballet of mine called Amor Brujo.

142
00:09:42.920 --> 00:09:45.000
That's Amor Brujo over there.

143
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.560
And here's another picture of claves from the Barber of Seville.

144
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:56.940
Now we'll go out into the studio that's out here.

145
00:09:56.940 --> 00:09:58.660
This is the hall.

146
00:10:01.580 --> 00:10:03.120
Is that all right?

147
00:10:04.580 --> 00:10:05.100
Rolling.

148
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:07.360
Anytime, Ruth.

149
00:10:08.520 --> 00:10:09.380
Shh.

150
00:10:16.940 --> 00:10:21.640
Well, this room has some interesting things in it.

151
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:22.400
Stop.

152
00:10:26.380 --> 00:10:27.940
Anytime you're ready, Ruth.

153
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:31.780
You're shooting?

154
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:32.820
Yes, ma'am.

155
00:10:33.640 --> 00:10:34.020
Shh.

156
00:10:43.180 --> 00:10:46.820
Oh, this room has some interesting things in it.

157
00:10:47.400 --> 00:10:52.380
That is a picture of a ballet of mine, the bells of Edgar Allan Park.

158
00:10:52.380 --> 00:10:55.300
And this is a painting of Amor Brujo by Isamu Noguchi.

159
00:10:55.880 --> 00:10:57.400
And this, it was an interesting set.

160
00:10:57.580 --> 00:11:00.280
It rose up and then at the end it all collapsed.

161
00:11:00.640 --> 00:11:02.800
And this is where it's collapsing.

162
00:11:03.900 --> 00:11:07.620
Of course, Chagall is such an imaginative artist.

163
00:11:07.700 --> 00:11:09.180
My husband got all these pictures.

164
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:12.900
And I think they're just full of imagination.

165
00:11:13.920 --> 00:11:16.280
Now let's go out into the hall.

166
00:11:16.280 --> 00:11:17.920
And we'll go to the studio.

167
00:12:02.620 --> 00:12:04.020
Okay.

168
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:41.360
Okay.

169
00:13:03.560 --> 00:13:04.960
Okay.

170
00:13:25.540 --> 00:13:26.140
Rolling.

171
00:13:32.060 --> 00:13:32.660
Rolling.

172
00:13:32.660 --> 00:13:35.540
Well, these are all Toulouse L'Autrex.

173
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:37.280
And I think they're very, very lovely.

174
00:13:37.520 --> 00:13:38.120
I adore them.

175
00:13:38.460 --> 00:13:40.560
And that mask is a very interesting mask.

176
00:13:40.700 --> 00:13:44.220
It's by Remazin, the man who gave me this screen.

177
00:13:44.220 --> 00:13:50.480
And it was for a ballet about lawyers called Hear Ye, Hear Ye.

178
00:13:51.940 --> 00:13:55.280
And this is a view of Sicily.

179
00:13:55.900 --> 00:14:02.120
And right over here, those are by Chilly Chiv, a very interesting Russian artist.

180
00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:05.260
This is Picasso, who you've probably heard of.

181
00:14:05.940 --> 00:14:08.220
And these are three puppeteers.

182
00:14:08.580 --> 00:14:11.540
And this is the studio right in here.

183
00:14:12.660 --> 00:14:17.720
And I took a wall out here so I could have enough space to dance in.

184
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:21.260
That's a portrait that Andre Del Faux did of me.

185
00:14:21.780 --> 00:14:25.260
And over here, these are all Andre's paintings.

186
00:14:25.760 --> 00:14:29.780
He goes in sort of series, like a series.

187
00:14:29.780 --> 00:14:34.440
He has a series of harlequins, those are right here, in all kinds of different positions.

188
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:35.660
I think they're marvelous.

189
00:14:35.660 --> 00:14:42.060
And then all these others are the brothels of Calcutta or Bombay.

190
00:14:42.140 --> 00:14:44.320
I don't know which, anyway, Indian brothels.

191
00:14:45.160 --> 00:14:47.760
And well, that's all there is in here.

192
00:14:47.940 --> 00:14:48.940
There's nothing else.

193
00:14:49.700 --> 00:14:51.060
Ruth, stop right where you are.

194
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:53.440
Walk in and say, there's...

195
00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:54.680
No, I go around here first.

196
00:14:54.800 --> 00:14:55.260
Yes, right.

197
00:14:55.400 --> 00:14:55.660
And then...

198
00:14:55.660 --> 00:14:56.520
Go back in, though.

199
00:14:56.540 --> 00:14:57.400
Go back in, though.

200
00:14:57.620 --> 00:15:00.260
Okay, and then turn around and come on back out and do it.

201
00:15:00.640 --> 00:15:01.080
All right.

202
00:15:01.920 --> 00:15:02.640
Quiet, please.

203
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:08.600
Okay, Ruth.

204
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:14.660
These are all Toulouse-Lautrec's.

205
00:15:15.280 --> 00:15:18.140
Both a few Japanese masks in there.

206
00:15:18.640 --> 00:15:25.360
And this mask is by Nicholas Remesov, the man who gave me that screen that I just talked about.

207
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:29.600
And over here, there's Chilichev.

208
00:15:29.680 --> 00:15:33.000
He's probably a painter that you don't know, but he's very interesting.

209
00:15:34.880 --> 00:15:35.920
Anytime, Ruth.

210
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:45.980
This is our old pictures by Toulouse-Lautrec, who's one of my favorite artists.

211
00:15:46.220 --> 00:15:47.360
I think they're fascinating.

212
00:15:47.980 --> 00:15:52.640
And over here, this mask is by Nicholas Remesov.

213
00:15:52.700 --> 00:15:54.740
It was for one of my ballets.

214
00:15:55.580 --> 00:15:57.140
It was a...

215
00:15:57.140 --> 00:15:59.220
This was one of the jury masks.

216
00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:02.300
There were six of them on each side, six women and six men.

217
00:16:02.300 --> 00:16:04.960
And this one, I just put it up here because I like it.

218
00:16:04.980 --> 00:16:06.400
I think it's a fascinating mask.

219
00:16:07.040 --> 00:16:14.680
Over there is a painter, Chilichev, who's not too well-known, but I think he's very, very interesting.

220
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:18.180
This is Picasso, and these are three puppeteers.

221
00:16:18.520 --> 00:16:22.780
And in here, as you can see, it's my studio.

222
00:16:23.580 --> 00:16:27.060
I always have to have a studio wherever I am.

223
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:30.560
So I always need space.

224
00:16:31.820 --> 00:16:36.540
Back there is a portrait that Andre Delpho, my husband, did of me.

225
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:38.840
And these are all his paintings in here.

226
00:16:38.860 --> 00:16:41.060
It's really his studio now, not mine anymore.

227
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:47.480
And he's done a very interesting series of harlequins in all kinds of positions.

228
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:50.700
He's done about a hundred of them, and there are three of them over here.

229
00:16:50.980 --> 00:16:53.560
And the rest of the pictures are the brothels of...

230
00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:58.340
I'm not sure whether it's Bombay or Calcutta, but anyway, Indian brothels.

231
00:16:58.340 --> 00:17:01.020
And that's a different series entirely.

232
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:05.520
Now I will take you to my bedroom.

233
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:08.560
And here we go.

234
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:15.560
Oh, I forgot to mention...
