British-born Diana

_ Menuhin gave up her dual
career as an actress and
ballerina 32 years ago to
become Menuhin’s wife.

But in an interview during
the recent taping of a CBC
special featuring her
husband, she sald she had no
regrets at leaving the stage
because she fs committed to
support the man who plays
at least 150 concerts a year
around the world.

Born Diana Rosamond
Gould, she is the daughter of
the late G.L.E. Gould and
Lady Harcourt.

At alne, she trained for the
ballet with Marie Rambert
and Lybla Sokolova, two
Russian tew$ers, at their
achool in London.

She gave her filrat recital
at 15 and a llttle later was
chosen by the great ballet
dancer Anna Pavlova to Join
her company,

“But such an opportuni
waa thwarted,” she said.
“Pavlova died a month
later."

Laler in her teens, Mra.
Menuhin turned to the
theatre but did not give up
her dancing. She performed
with such famed companies
as Messine's, Balanchine's
and Markova-Dolin as a
soloist.

And in Cyril Ritechard and
Madge Elliott's production
of The Merry Widow, the
young ballerina played the
role of Frou-Frou for Allied
in Cairo, Alexandria,

Naples, Parle and Brusseli.

“TI shall never forget the
day Cyril showed me the
script of the Merry Widow,"
she reminisced. “It was
frightful. I asked him if I
could rewrite the part ‘of
FrewFrou and he agreed.

“I rewrote the French
maid's part as I really saw
her — needless to say it was
in filthy French.”

Mra, Menhuln said she
docan’t miss her career,

'The theatre, the ballet —
they are both full. of in-
tl ues, plots, overwork,

ttle pay and J belleve they
are professions ona must be
mm to. ”

With this knowledge, she
feels she ia a good foil for her
genius husband, who made
his debut at the age of seven
with the San Francisco
Symphony Orchestra, '
