Abstract
Chapter 1 begins with the life of the Hughes family, first in Louisville, Kentucky and then in San Antonio, Texas, where the father (known as Russ) died in 1914. La Meri’s birth name was Russell Meriwether Hughes (the same as her father’s). It also covers the education of Russell and her sister Lilian Hughes (Newcomer) and their training and experiences in the arts. The last section tells of Russell’s travels with her mother Lily Belle Allen Hughes: to New York City (ca. September 1919 to March 1920), to their return there (ca. spring 1922), and then to their travels in Europe (ca. July to September 1922). Russel pursued academic or performing arts studies on each of these trips.
