An injury sustained during a US tour in 1917 led him to leave the company and remain in the US, where he went on to organize "Ballet Intime" and collaborate with the New York Metropolitan Opera. He moved to Chicago in 1919 and opened his dance school at 624 South Michigan Avenue in 1923, continuing to work there until moving to California in 1929. (18175)
