In Broken Times
After fifteen years of failures and frustrations as a dancer and choreographer, AGNES DE MILLE scored her first international success in her ballet RODEO,in which at its opening in the Metropolitan she danced the lead. On the strength of this she was invited by Rodgers and Hammerslein to do the dances for OKLAHOMA ! At this point she and Walter Prude were married, and after an abbreviated wedding trip and a few hectic weeks together at army camps, she joined that great company of women who were living on letters from overseas.
