Ruth Bayton: In Los Angeles

After returning to Europe after a brief break from performing, Ruth returned to Spain, where she remained until Francisco Franco's Civil War caused her to flee to Argentina, like many other Spanish artists.

She remained in Argentina throughout WWII where she had success theatrically, occasionally returning to New York to visit her family and maybe returning to appear in Europe. The pro-German attitude, '43 Military Coup and Juan Peron's rise to power might caused her to eventually to flee South America. In the 1950's, she returned to the United States, living in Los Angeles where she later died.
