In Polish Lillian is Leokadia. In the 1920's Lillian was a dancer/acrobat with the Marvel Sisters. Then they took on a third partner and became The Ross Sisters. She was the anchor person on the bottom. Many of the clippings I have are for Mme Marci Marcucci and her revue which inlcludes the Ross Sisters.
