{"value"=>"<p>Rosa Rolanda (also known as Rosa Covarrubias) was born in Azusa, California in 1895. She began her performance career in New York City in 1916, where she danced in Broadway revues and appeared in two films, <span class=\"title\">The Blue Bird</span> (1918) and <span class=\"title\">Woman</span> (1918). In 1924, after beginning a relationship with the artist, Miguel Covarrubias, the couple traveled to Mexico, where Rolanda began taking photographs and painting. Her photographs were later published in <span class=\"title\">Island of Bali</span> (1937) and <span class=\"title\">Mexico South: Isthmus of Tehuantepec</span> (1946). Covarrubias and Rolanda were married in 1930, and moved permanently to Mexico city. They divorced in 1952, and Rolanda remained in Mexico until her death in 1970.</p>"}

{"value"=>"<p>The collection dates from the 1920s to 1950s, and contains an assortment of mostly unlabeled photographs and contact sheets which are arranged by topic. The images depict dancers and dance performances, as well as some shots of individuals in Mexico.</p> <p>In addition to performance photographs, the Dance Escudero files also include a 1954 flier for a performance called <span class=\"title\">Escudero and his Spanish Dancers and Musicians</span> and a few clippings about Vicente Escudero. The photographs of José Limón also include some images in which Rolanda is pictured with Limón. All of the Walter Nicks and Company images are unlabeled, but are exclusively photographs of dance performances. Most of the photographs in the collection are not credited, but were likely shot by Rolanda.</p>"}
