Ruth Bayton In Berlin {1926/27}


Ruth Bayton "La Plus Belle Negresse du Monde" (1907-19??) appeared in France, Germany, Spain and Argentina (1926-1931). Briefly owned boutique in Harlem (Sugar Hill) before returning to Europe.

Returned to Spain in 1932, escaped to Argentina in 1937 during Spanish Civil War. Returned to Europe sometime during WWII appearing probably in Spain...might have went under different name.
