Worldly Things

Around the time of when Loie was broadening her horizons, World War II was beginning. She was making friends with many artists, a couple were mentioned before, but she was also making friends and connections with the U.S. Embassy in Paris and also Queen Marie of Romania. This friendship actually helped Romania receive a loan from the United States. Also during WWI, she repaid France by urging her fellow American's to join the conflict on that country's side, and by persuading them to contribute to the relief of its wounded and its war widows and orphans. She made many people aware of the war going on but still was able to be a pioneer of the modern dance world.
