LEON WOIZIKOWSKY "A company that is fortunate enough to possess Woizikowsky has in him at least flve dancers and five artists," wrote Alnold L. Haskell in "Balletomania," and n€ver was praise more truly earned. Leon Woizikowsky was edu- cated at the Warsaw Ballet School, cradle of great male dancers" It is interesting to note that there he was a eontemporary of Pola Negri and that as child- ren they led a quadrille together.

Apart from his own great creations he has danced roles created by Nijinsky, Fokine, Bolm, and others.
