ALGERANOFF KILLED
Ballet Master Dies In Crash
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) MELBOURNE, April 9. The internationally-known ballet master Algeranoff, who once partnered the ballerina Anna Pavlova, was killed on Friday night in a car crash 290 miles north-west of Melbourne. Algeranoff, aged 64, died when his car collided with another vehicle on the Murray Valley highway. He was an Englishman who in 1921 officially changed his name—forbidding the use of his old name. Pavlova christened him by changing his English Christian name Algernon into the Russian-sounding Algeranoff. Algeranoff partnered Pavlova for eight years in many parts of the world. She was the subject of his first book, “My Years with Pavlova,” which was published in 1957.
