- popularized the rumba at such night spots as Los Angeles'
- Cocoanut Grove and New York's Waldorf-Astoria; in Barcelona.
- The dapper Spanish-born violinist conducted with his bow and
- kept a shimmying singer at his side. Three of them, Carmen

- alimony, but insisted his exes had remained "pals."
