- Gómez quedó tan extasiado viéndola bailar que, en un estuche de terciopelo rojo, le regaló el nombre de Pavlova escrito en morocotas y se dice que ordenó a los maridos, en Caracas, para que suspendieran el póker y las francachelas y compartieran con sus esposas la emoción de ver a la gran bailarina interpretando la muerte del cisne sobre el escenario del Municipal.
