[2] The eldest brother, Georgi, joined the Polish Army before performing as an orchestral flautist, and then emigrated to Canada and on to the United States as a musician.

Billed as Natasha Nattova and Company, the act created a sensation, and appeared in the MGM film The Hollywood Revue of 1929.

Bob Ganjou then formed a similar act with George, and a Danish acrobat, William Hendricks, initially calling themselves "Pantus, Coatus and Vestus".

[3] When Hendricks left in 1931, they were joined by brother Serge, and by a female ballet-trained artist's model, Detroit-born Juanita Richards.

[4] Billed as the Ganjou Brothers and Juanita, they travelled to England in 1933, and appeared at that year's Royal Variety Performance, when they were supplemented by two opera singers, Aline Fournier and Vittorio Toso.

They toured theatres in Britain, achieving considerable popularity, but in 1934 Juanita left to marry an English man she had met in Blackpool.

[6] Bob Ganjou devised and managed a new adagio act, the Dior Dancers, comprising three younger male performers and a young woman, Merian Morris.

[2][6] There is a memorial to the Ganjou Brothers and Juanita, "The World's Greatest Variety Act", at Streatham Park Cemetery in London.
