THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

When we first came here someone told me that all the girls in Harbin can be divided into two classes – attractive ones, who are cabaret girls, and unattractive ones, who are dentists.  There are many women dentists and uncountable numbers of girls who work in cabarets, either as hostesses or entertainers.  Among them are excellent ballet dancers, many trained in Moscow and smuggled out of Russia to Harbin.  Here they will give a delightful performance for a dollar or two in American money and provide their own costumes.  Each one has her own exciting and pitiful tale.
