Khyva St. Albans

Khyva St. Albans (born Eleanor[e] Saenger; 1896-1989), also known as Zara Alexeyewa, Ayenara Alexeyeva, was an American actress, dancer, and choreographer.

[7] Neither show was well-reviewed; the New York Times called The Awakening "a weird and very artificial play" "almost unbelievably crude and old-fashioned.

She was a Juliet of the sort who would have suggested a long engagement, deferring marriage until such time as she had finished her schooling and Romeo had a steady job".

[10] St. Albans translated a work by Leonid Andreyev as The Painted Laugh, which she starred in and produced for the London stage in 1921.

[11] The production became infamous when she and her mother suddenly disappeared after bad reviews for the first matinee,[12] leaving the show's backers and cast unpaid.
