Here, another poetry from Vladimir Paley that I found:


THE GREAT LENT


Dark somber vestments… soft gentle singing…
Glowing reflection of red vigil lights…
O God Almighty! Grant me endurance:
Heaven and hell battle deep in my heart…

Whisper of prayers… Sternness of faces…
Sonorous censers and pale blue smoke…
O God Almighty! Grant me Thy mercy:
Lightly as incense I rise unto Thee!

Out of the church yet again I shall forfeit
Those solemn promises given to Thee –
Fortify me in this combat eternal,
Purify, Holy, my sin-laden soul!

Give me resolve to speak bravely and boldly
When I am caught in life’s prickly embrace.
Dark somber vestments… Evening twilight…
Yellow wax candles’ sorrowing flame…
- Prince Vladimir Paley

I think it's her real voice, dubbing still sounded very awkward back then. :D It also sounds very similar to her voice in Folies Bergère:

Irina Paley (looking very much like her grandmother Maria) with her son Michael:

Hi -
I've recently become very interested in the GD Paul and the Paleys and was wondering if anything is known about the relationship between Olga and Eric von Pistolkors before GD Paul came on the scene. Were they unhappily married to begin with, or was it a case where she was content with von Pistolkors until she discovered her true soulmate in GD Paul?

I've read that von Pistohlkors had lovers, perhaps that contributed somehow. Also Olga was known for her flirtation, before Paul, she had flirted with Grand Duke Vladimir and some gossip at the time suggests that Olga just wanted a better social position, although I don't believe that. At least not entirely.  ;D

A fabulous Mainbocher creation!  :)

Here's another one around the same time, but a little more relaxed. It shows Natalie on vacation in Jamaica with her second husband, John Chapman Wilson, his supposed lover, Noël Coward, as well as Coward's wife who would become one of Natalie's closest friend. I'm not sure who the other man is.



Noël Coward was actually  inspired by Natalie to create the character of Joanna in one of his short stories, "Nature Studies".

Which one is Chapman ?

A link to a blog where you can download "Folies Bergére":

And a picture of Natalie in her early career, I think:
