to see Mme. R. stand on the stage before the curtain goes up and be wrapped in yards of mummy bandage for her role in Cléopâtre is an incomparable sight... a respectful, silent circle of stage hands and extras form around her, diminishing as she disappears beneath her veils. One night I had the honor of helping Mme. Rubinstein on stage for her bandaging — she is unable to walk alone because of the height of her clogs — and as I felt the tremulous pressure of her palm on my shoulders, I thought of the Cleopatra of Flaubert. Ida Rubinstein made her first Western European appearance in the title role of Cléopâtre at the Théâtre du Châtelet on June 2, 1909. It was the second evening of Diaghilev's dance programs of that memorable first Paris season, and Ida Rubinstein would have to compete not only with Vaslav Nijinsky and Tamara Karsavina, both of whom had created a furor on the opening program, but also with Anna Pavlova, whose reputation as a dancer had preceded her to Paris
