PRETTY RUSSIAN GIRL
REJOINS HER FAMILY ARRIVAL By"tHE MATAROA. Two months ago Miss Esther Gutman was in Moscow. On Monday afternoon she arrived in Auckland by the Mataroa from England to join her mother and her sisters, who have been here for some years. Miss Gutman connt speak much English. Wrapped in a beautiful grey fur coat and carrying a kitten of the same colour, and a bouquet, she flashed her first smiles on Auck land.
“Russia is not so nice now. since the unhappy war,” she said in her broken English. “It is worse now that England is not w-ith us.” She was speaking of the diplomatic fireak following the Arcos House raid “It was terrible—the civil war after the revolution,”
Miss Gutman seemed to understand best when she was asked about the theatres in Russia. “The theatres —ah. that is the best I can sav about Russia—its art and l its music. We have many singers as good as Chaliapin— we have lots of Chaliapins. Pavlova; oh. yes. we have many better dancers than Pavlova.” But she is happv to be in New Zealand. From under her little scarlet hat she waved to the shore, and then clasping her bouquet and her little grev kitten, she disappeared down the gangway to meet her mother and lier sisters, whom she had not seen for years.
