Feb. 02, 1965 - Like Cuevas She Makes Makes Her Millions Dance'.. Millionairess Rbekah Harkness - widow of New York Financier William L. Harkness is putting some of her money to good use in France - by resurrecting the memory of the Marquis De Cuevas by gathering his famous dance troupe together again. They dispersed throughout the world after his death - and they have now become the Harkness Ballet of New York. They make their debut on Friday evening at the Municipal Casino in Gnnes. Director is George Skibine - and the artistes include Majorie Tallchief - Erich Bruhn - Nicholas Polajenko - and Daphne Dayle. In all - 45 celebraties representing most of the cream of the dancing world'. Cannes was chosen for the debut - as it was the crade of the Cuevas ballets. Mrs. Harkness estimates that the ballet costs about, 000 a minute - she is blonde - and young - and full of charm. So far her director estimates that he has used 4, 000, 000 dollars in the ballet creation. Photo shows Rebecca Harkness talks to ballet star Marjorie Tallchief during rehearsal
