Adele: 00:03:58:17 - 00:04:02:00
But you had those days

00:04:03:13 - 00:04:07:09
No but in those days, there weren't that many Asian dancers at all.

00:04:07:12 - 00:04:10:12
So you're one of the pioneers.

Jaime: 00:04:15:14 - 00:04:17:21
the more we tried them, quicker

00:04:17:21 - 00:04:20:21
and tighter here,
Walter: the better he got. Yes. Jaime: 00:04:21:21 - 00:04:24:20
always raising the level. Yes.

Walter: 00:04:24:20 - 00:04:26:13
I never saw anybody jump so high.

00:05:41:06 - 00:05:43:14
I were born in Hong Kong,

00:05:43:14 - 00:05:46:01
my mom was in the Warsaw Opera.

00:05:46:01 - 00:05:48:13
She was a semi-soloist.

00:05:48:13 - 00:05:52:08
because she wasn't performing dance at all and she traveled with the group.

00:05:52:22 - 00:05:55:22
my father was a Chinese zuckerbrot he speaks,

00:05:56:07 - 00:05:59:07
I don't know, seven languages, something like that.

00:06:17:11 - 00:06:19:08
my mother still taught me Polish still.

00:06:19:08 - 00:06:22:08
And in the home, we speak Russian.

00:06:23:20 - 00:06:27:13
we moved from Hong Kong to Shanghai, 1941

00:07:00:10 - 00:07:03:10
Find in Shanghai.

00:07:03:21 - 00:07:07:03
I was going to all kind of club this the Russian club,

00:07:07:16 - 00:07:10:16
white Russian, red Russian and Polish

00:07:11:01 - 00:07:14:01
and I always perform for them all

00:07:14:08 - 00:07:15:00
and whatever.

00:07:15:00 - 00:07:17:14
When I work in nightclub, we get rice from them.

00:07:17:14 - 00:07:19:08
So we can have some rice and lamb.

00:07:19:08 - 00:07:22:08
And he said the money
so we survived that way and

00:07:23:14 - 00:07:26:07
There's
no food for the regular Chinese people.

00:07:26:07 - 00:07:29:07
they dying on the street.

00:07:33:05 - 00:07:36:02
after show we got to go home

00:07:36:02 - 00:07:37:04
my mother kill me.

00:07:37:04 - 00:07:40:04
Her bed,
And then the morning I got to get up

00:07:40:14 - 00:07:44:04
10:00 to go to the ballet class, and that's with all the Russian.

00:07:44:07 - 00:07:47:07
People are taking class, they are professionals

00:07:47:15 - 00:07:50:05
and they've got to be there, catch up with them.

00:07:50:05 - 00:07:53:22

one day I was taking classes and they put towel around me

00:07:54:15 - 00:07:58:16
we do Grand Prix, but and you cannot move because the towels around there

00:07:59:12 - 00:08:02:00
and that's where you got to do one spot,

00:08:02:00 - 00:08:05:00
you got to be perfect.

00:08:06:06 - 00:08:08:17
when the war ends, like 45

00:08:08:17 - 00:08:11:17
My father one to come to see us,

00:08:12:04 - 00:08:13:14
they got to go through the mountain.

00:08:13:14 - 00:08:15:00
And the truck. fell through

00:08:16:15 - 00:08:19:13
my father fell and hit his head.

00:08:19:13 - 00:08:22:13
And he killed innocent.

00:08:22:18 - 00:08:24:16
That's all I know.

00:08:24:16 - 00:08:27:16
So, no, we never see him. So.

00:08:29:01 - 00:08:31:14
we perform for the American clubs

00:08:31:14 - 00:08:35:05
we get $15 or $20 with those days, 00:08:35:10 - 00:08:38:10

this is a good money, you

00:08:38:23 - 00:08:41:22
And then for the night we got to move again.

00:08:42:12 - 00:08:45:12
national Chinese
and the Communist, they're still fighting.

00:08:45:21 - 00:08:48:21
And they were moving to Shanghai.

00:08:49:05 - 00:08:52:06
So the US know who won to leave because my mother

00:08:52:06 - 00:08:55:09
afraid with the communists,
they don't know what's going to happen.

00:08:55:09 - 00:08:59:16
she say, we got to live
and that the nation took us out

00:09:04:21 - 00:09:07:21
so we moved to the refugee camp

00:09:08:06 - 00:09:10:14
they saw us was only four months,

00:09:10:14 - 00:09:13:14
but we stuck there for two years,

00:09:14:15 - 00:09:16:06
and I don't do nothing really,

00:09:16:06 - 00:09:19:14
because the weather is hot no dancing at all.

00:09:20:13 - 00:09:21:19
in the camp.

00:09:21:19 - 00:09:24:22
They form a school
and they make us go to the school

00:09:26:09 - 00:09:29:02
only what is great in the Philippines.

00:09:29:02 - 00:09:32:01
You can go to the jungle, you can pick a banana.

00:09:32:01 - 00:09:33:02
It's right there. Right.

00:09:33:02 - 00:09:36:02
The in. Their thing is beautiful.

00:09:36:07 - 00:09:38:23
living on ten is a different story.

00:09:38:23 - 00:09:41:23
And the
when this raining day and forget it

00:09:42:18 - 00:09:44:01
in the camp.

00:09:44:01 - 00:09:48:11
most of them white people,
There's no Chinese guy who was me

00:09:48:23 - 00:09:51:23
on the one half and half,

00:09:52:00 - 00:09:56:03
that so I can go to Australia because Chinese

00:09:56:20 - 00:09:59:08
those days they wouldn't like Asian.

00:09:59:08 - 00:10:03:04
So then my mother said I just go and leave the kid here and I'm here.

00:10:03:18 - 00:10:06:09
So she stayed. So that's we stay.

00:10:06:09 - 00:10:09:09
And then until we get the chance, to leave

00:10:10:03 - 00:10:11:04
like I say, we're lucky.

00:10:12:21 - 00:10:14:02
my father's friend.

00:10:14:02 - 00:10:17:02
sponsored us to come to the United States.

00:10:19:05 - 00:10:21:19
And my mother warned me one thing.

00:10:21:19 - 00:10:24:21
My mother warned me, You are going to America,

00:10:25:04 - 00:10:28:15
these old white people,
and you better be ten times better.

00:10:30:10 - 00:10:34:23
Remember that ten times better because you cannot match to them.

00:10:34:23 - 00:10:36:19
You got to be ten times better.

00:10:36:19 - 00:10:39:11
And that stuck in my head.

00:10:39:11 - 00:10:43:12
So I was anything
I do the best I can ten times better

00:10:43:12 - 00:10:46:12
than anybody else can do.

00:11:13:16 - 00:11:14:07
those days.

00:11:14:07 - 00:11:14:14
I know.

00:11:14:14 - 00:11:18:10
You know, I used to wear tights, you see when I in China where everybody should,

00:11:47:03 - 00:11:50:15

00:11:50:15 - 00:11:52:18

00:11:52:18 - 00:11:54:14
I was panic

00:11:54:14 - 00:11:56:16
because I couldn't
think of the combination there.

00:11:56:16 - 00:11:59:21
So I said,

00:12:00:04 - 00:12:02:18

00:12:02:18 - 00:12:05:17

And he always come to the office and talking to all the Russian

00:12:26:08 - 00:12:29:19

00:12:31:09 - 00:12:34:09
And I'm, of course, know his family.

00:12:34:19 - 00:12:36:09
Balanchine picked me up.

00:12:36:09 - 00:12:38:20
I said, Asian boy, for the Nutcracker.

00:12:38:20 - 00:12:40:15

00:12:40:15 - 00:12:43:15
So if you got to be good for the tea.

00:12:43:17 - 00:12:45:10

They're going to push you out in the box, the two girls, and they open up,

00:12:51:08 - 00:12:54:08

00:12:58:08 - 00:13:00:02
Balanchine asked me why I can't do this.

00:13:00:02 - 00:13:00:20
I can't do that.

00:13:00:20 - 00:13:01:18

I don't stumble. I don't do nothing.

00:13:50:23 - 00:13:53:11
I did everything perfectly.

00:13:53:11 - 00:13:55:21
And I think I did.

00:13:55:21 - 00:13:58:04
Okay.

00:13:58:04 - 00:14:01:13
George Lee, the Chinese voice in school,

00:14:05:18 - 00:14:06:23
And he was one

Balanchine,
choreographed a very Asian for him

00:14:10:12 - 00:14:14:14
that none of us have ever been able
the equal I mean, I knew I couldn't do it.

00:14:15:03 - 00:14:18:10
And nobody's done it
any better than I have seen him.

00:14:18:10 - 00:14:21:10
But George leading that, he was wonderful

00:14:23:06 - 00:14:25:00
went to the our Life magazine

with his Lauder,
picked up like a little round bone,

00:14:36:23 - 00:14:40:12
He would go up in the air, pull everything up, go around twice and land

00:14:40:17 - 00:14:41:21
on the floor like.

00:14:41:21 - 00:14:44:21
Like around Mom. Nobody ever know

00:14:45:01 - 00:14:48:01
Did you drive from Brooklyn?

00:14:49:10 - 00:14:50:13

I was hoping with membership with the New York City Ballet, but nothing happening.

00:14:57:08 - 00:14:59:18
But they get excuse, though. My name is short.

00:15:01:06 - 00:15:04:06
I'm Lee was short and that's it.

00:15:04:10 - 00:15:06:19
I mean,

00:15:06:19 - 00:15:09:18
vanishing those girls skinny and lonely.

00:15:09:18 - 00:15:12:14
I cannot be fit in
because they always looking as boy, six

00:15:12:14 - 00:15:16:10
foot tall, good looking
guy is no mean here Molly the Shuman.

00:15:16:10 - 00:15:19:10
I mean they don't need that

00:15:21:22 - 00:15:22:09
Andre

00:15:22:09 - 00:15:26:03
Gruevski was a principal dancer in the New York City Ballet,

00:15:26:11 - 00:15:29:11
and he was the one
who took me in under his wings.

00:15:30:09 - 00:15:35:00
Whenever he goes the tour, he takes me as opening thing and things like that.

00:15:35:00 - 00:15:38:00
And when I did the. 00:15:38:03 - 00:15:41:14

The one on the center park with all the star was there.

00:15:41:14 - 00:15:44:14
I was one of them,

00:16:15:05 - 00:16:16:21
Variety magazine

00:16:16:21 - 00:16:19:23
and they
say I auditioned for the Oriental dancers

00:16:20:19 - 00:16:23:19
the specifies Oriental that's why I win.

00:16:24:19 - 00:16:26:23
and they told me your audition, go

00:16:26:23 - 00:16:29:23
head to the Bluebird.

00:16:31:12 - 00:16:34:03
and everybody sitting there floor.

00:16:34:03 - 00:16:37:05
with this guy come from they don't do much ballet in

00:16:38:06 - 00:16:42:03
Asian kids, they're all just doing the old kind of jazz things.

00:16:42:18 - 00:16:43:17
they couldn't figure it out.

00:16:43:17 - 00:16:45:02
How could I do free bread.

00:16:45:02 - 00:16:47:23
No Chinese guy,
No flying around like that. 00:16:47:23 - 00:16:50:23

my style is is the Russian training.

00:16:51:09 - 00:16:55:10
And they're the one of the best for
the ballet, got to be everything perfect.

00:16:55:10 - 00:16:57:21
but but the show is the different thing.

00:16:57:21 - 00:16:59:14
You got to learn jazz.

00:16:59:14 - 00:17:03:19
Well, I was going home
waiting for the elevator Director.

00:17:03:19 - 00:17:08:01
Gene Kelly was come by and he saw me still talk to me and say,

00:17:08:14 - 00:17:11:19
George, you see,
why don't you take this job?

00:17:12:04 - 00:17:14:20
He know that I was.
I really want to ballet.

00:17:14:20 - 00:17:17:11
I know I don't know about anything about Broadway, Sean.

00:17:17:11 - 00:17:21:19
I mean, he was the one who said, Look, learn something, you

00:17:23:00 - 00:17:23:05
know?

00:17:23:05 - 00:17:24:09
Well, touch me, Broadway.

00:17:24:09 - 00:17:27:00
We and you can pay for it.

00:17:27:00 - 00:17:31:00
I talked to my mother
first about that and said, think about it.

00:17:31:00 - 00:17:33:06
And they say, well, we need make a living.

00:17:33:06 - 00:17:35:15
So my swell try is

00:17:35:15 - 00:17:41:01
the story is about the well, it's about the two generations of San Francisco,

00:17:41:02 - 00:17:44:22
the Chinese, the older generation,
which can understand the young generation,

00:17:45:12 - 00:17:47:18
younger generation,
which is going quite American,

00:17:47:18 - 00:17:49:07
can understand the older generation.

00:17:49:07 - 00:17:52:15
Out of it
comes a very delightful love story, a

00:18:03:07 - 00:18:38:23
and wah, wah

00:18:40:02 - 00:18:43:02
wah wah wah wah wah.

00:18:47:18 - 00:18:50:03
I'm like,

00:18:50:03 - 00:18:53:03
Yeah, pans

00:18:54:03 - 00:18:55:15
sound

00:18:55:15 - 00:18:57:13
that way.

00:18:57:13 - 00:19:03:14
I know you feel Oh,

00:19:16:19 - 00:19:20:11
I'm sure in a way
it's going to be a history for Broadway

00:19:20:11 - 00:19:26:04
because It was a big hit to a big hit because when we traveling, we did okay.

00:19:26:04 - 00:19:27:13
We all with houses back

00:19:30:16 - 00:19:33:16
My Lillian was black even on Broadway.

00:19:33:18 - 00:19:36:17
They can find that many Asian. That's why

00:19:36:17 - 00:19:40:08
and like I say, when we were going to like Tennessee or somewhere,

00:19:40:08 - 00:19:43:11
she didn't go with us because of racial thing.

00:19:44:12 - 00:19:46:23
So someone else to cover her understudy

00:19:46:23 - 00:19:50:21
was, I think, Filipino lady I went to Texas.

00:19:50:21 - 00:19:53:21
we did, the flower drum and we go out to eat.

00:19:54:09 - 00:19:58:08

I know walking around and then you know how the signs say, like Tony.

00:19:58:23 - 00:20:01:16
And I said, Oh, gee,
how can you go into to eat?

00:20:01:16 - 00:20:03:03
Of course I'm color.

00:20:03:03 - 00:20:06:12
No, that's why I thought No at that time no men say color.

00:20:06:12 - 00:20:08:09
I thought well I'm colored. No.

00:20:08:09 - 00:20:11:05
And so looking through the door and I see my jack,

00:20:11:05 - 00:20:15:00
so the little men, his Asian there he sit there

00:20:15:09 - 00:20:18:18
not drinking beer, I say
I figure he'd go India could go and

00:20:21:18 - 00:20:22:03
we've been

00:20:22:03 - 00:20:25:20
traveling from Broadway on the road to.

00:20:26:02 - 00:20:28:22
And I always tell
my editor never fell off,

00:20:28:22 - 00:20:32:14
and they were starting counting
2000 times, you know, one time before. 00:20:33:00 - 00:20:36:00

So in that one day, I was a little tired

00:20:36:04 - 00:20:39:17
and I was doing the variation
and do the hair turn and go to my knees.

00:20:39:23 - 00:20:42:10
And I touched the floor a little bit, were hidden.

00:20:42:10 - 00:20:45:18
And they all scream on those wings and say, he is human.

00:20:45:20 - 00:20:46:14
He is human.

00:20:46:14 - 00:20:49:14
He is not like a robot, he told me.

00:20:50:21 - 00:20:55:00
and then we come to Vegas in 61, the Thunderbird Hotel.

00:20:55:00 - 00:20:58:06
Was that nothing we come in

00:20:58:19 - 00:21:02:21
you race everything up the we went up we do our show

00:21:02:21 - 00:21:06:20
and we make a big splash my mother was very strict.

00:21:06:23 - 00:21:10:14
She wouldn't allow smoking, drinking Can you drink coffee?

00:21:10:22 - 00:21:14:18
when I 25 years old,
I went with the flower drum on the road 00:21:15:14 - 00:21:16:22

away from her mother.

00:21:16:22 - 00:21:18:17
That's my first cup of coffee I had.

00:21:22:02 - 00:21:25:02
my mother

00:22:14:02 - 00:22:17:05
and then again to the big history, which a big thing.

00:22:17:05 - 00:22:19:20
I mean, for me, Keep going. That's it.

00:22:19:20 - 00:22:21:06
I can do it.

00:22:21:06 - 00:22:24:06
I go on stage, I do it.

00:22:25:01 - 00:22:28:01
Debbie Now
writing was in the late seventies,

00:22:28:01 - 00:22:31:01
I think

00:22:32:09 - 00:22:35:09
we traveled to Florida or the place

00:22:36:21 - 00:22:39:21
I was the first Asian dancer on Broadway.

00:22:40:04 - 00:22:42:23
That was a good show.

00:22:42:23 - 00:22:44:18
Gretchen.

00:22:44:18 - 00:22:47:18
And they went to England, 00:22:47:22 - 00:22:48:02

show.

00:22:48:02 - 00:22:51:02
Ten of us.

00:22:57:05 - 00:22:57:18
was fun.

00:22:57:18 - 00:23:00:18
I enjoy

00:23:06:07 - 00:23:09:16
most of the Broadway show
when you go to audition is a cattle.

00:23:09:16 - 00:23:12:16
Call it's hard to get a job.

00:23:13:05 - 00:23:16:23
But I wasn't the one Asian around always in the audition.

00:23:16:23 - 00:23:19:23
They all knew me right away.

00:23:20:14 - 00:23:21:19
delay, my dancing.

00:23:21:19 - 00:23:23:00
They always keep me to the end.

00:23:23:00 - 00:23:26:16
And then they said, Well, sorry, George, in the tape, not the tape curse.

00:23:26:16 - 00:23:31:02
No. Where do I got to go through all this additional hours and hours?

00:23:31:05 - 00:23:31:22
I mean, for what?

00:23:49:04 - 00:23:49:21
the last show there

00:23:49:21 - 00:23:52:21
was out because they put in

00:23:53:02 - 00:23:56:02
and that was it.

00:24:06:03 - 00:24:06:16
The Broadway

00:24:06:16 - 00:24:09:17
show is no more
the same thing like the old days.

00:24:09:17 - 00:24:13:04
And I mean then dancing, real jazz and I mean things.

00:24:13:05 - 00:24:15:09
I know this is all wiggle wiggle again.

00:24:15:09 - 00:24:18:08
I mean,

00:24:20:12 - 00:24:23:04
and then you get it all the way down Mars.

00:24:23:04 - 00:24:26:04
We as gets by knocking on doors

00:24:27:20 - 00:24:29:08
all about.

00:24:29:08 - 00:24:31:13
everybody knows me. They call me Pop.

00:24:31:13 - 00:24:33:21
Not the all the kids Hi.

were I'll call my mother up.

00:25:06:00 - 00:25:07:04
I'm going to stay.

00:25:07:04 - 00:25:09:19
And then my mother get mad

00:25:09:19 - 00:25:12:10
But I got to make a living.

00:25:12:10 - 00:25:55:06
I got to pay the bill Yes.

00:25:57:23 - 00:26:00:23
or worse off
from physical or spiritual pain.

00:26:01:14 - 00:26:04:05
Maybe healing
power price brings down relief,

00:26:05:09 - 00:26:08:09
but it's pretty cool.

00:26:09:11 - 00:26:11:21
The intention of Islamic to look like

00:26:11:21 - 00:26:14:21
my mother of Polish Catholic?

00:26:16:02 - 00:26:17:23
I believe in

00:26:17:23 - 00:26:21:23

I'm here today to work there He helped me to bear the pain, everything else.

00:26:29:22 - 00:26:32:09
the sidewalk goes down
and I mean, that's who hurt me.

00:26:32:09 - 00:26:35:09
And I mean, so who's happened

00:26:35:14 - 00:26:38:14
is so annoying me because

00:26:39:07 - 00:26:41:17
two years ago I still

00:26:41:17 - 00:26:44:17
and then suddenly hit, you know, like that

00:27:00:12 - 00:27:01:16
to show me in your life.

00:27:01:16 - 00:27:03:01
It's not that easy.

00:27:03:01 - 00:27:04:21
And you got to really work hard.

00:27:04:21 - 00:27:08:20
And that was just a good of you going to America to be wise.

00:27:09:08 - 00:27:12:08
No, I mean, you're going to be ten times because they are.

00:27:12:11 - 00:27:16:05
Sometimes they look down at you because like in Asia, in

00:27:16:05 - 00:27:19:07
Shanghai, too,
they're looking at in of the white people.

00:27:19:07 - 00:27:21:17
You looking at Chinese people like no mean low.

00:27:25:17 - 00:27:28:03
I'm happy, you know, can have a can say nothing.

00:27:28:03 - 00:27:31:15
No, I did what I did where my mother, they made me.

00:27:31:20 - 00:27:34:03
I did, you know.

00:27:34:03 - 00:27:37:02

00:27:42:15 - 00:27:44:06
And I did good.

00:27:44:06 - 00:27:46:09
So that's all I can say?

00:27:46:09 - 00:27:47:17
No. But.

00:27:47:17 - 00:27:50:17
So I think your mom would be very proud.

00:28:17:03 - 00:28:18:10
with my kids.

00:28:18:10 - 00:28:21:10
I was really smart to be.

00:28:21:22 - 00:28:25:13
