I recommend a recent Russian publication,  Михаил Близнюк,  Прекрасная Маруся Сава,
Москва: Русский путь, 2007.

	This work documents Russian cabaret society in New York from the 1920's to the
1980's.  Besides providing a biography of Marusia Sava, the work also provides mini-bios
of scores of Russian entertainers (including my father, Lonya Kalbouss).  It also provides
a lot of background on the Russian emigrant culture in New York.
