The article presents little known biographical facts about Helena Grossówna, one of the stars of the Polish film industry in the 1930s. Born in Toruń, the artist started out her career as a member of a ballet company for fledging dancers founded at the Toruń theatre during the first directorship of Karol Benda (1924-1926), which culminated in the opening of the Pomorska Opera. At the time, Grossówna was able to improve her dancing skills by performing in operas, operettas, and musical comedies. Having travelled to France, where she took classes from Matylda Krzesińska and Bronislava Nijinska (Vaslav Nijinsky’s sister), Grossówna returned to Toruń and worked as a choreographer at the Toruński Theatre, run again by Karol Benda (1930-1932). The article contains as detailed a description as the scant source materials permit of Helena Grossówna’s performance as Salome in Golgota [Golgotha] by Bolesław Rosłan (dir. Józef Cornobis, 1931), and it presents strong evidence that Grossówna left Toruń as a fully fledged artist.

Artykuł stanowi prezentację nieznanych szerzej faktów z biografii Heleny Grossówny, jednej z gwiazd kina polskiego lat 30-tych XX wieku. Urodzona w Toruniu artystka rozpoczynała swoją karierę w zespole początkujących tancerek utworzonym w teatrze toruńskim w czasie pierwszej dyrekcji Karola Bendy (1924-1926), której ukoronowaniem było otwarcie Opery Pomorskiej. W tym czasie Grossówna mogła doskonalić swój warsztat taneczny, występując w inscenizacjach oper, operetek i komedii muzycznych. Po wojażach francuskich, kiedy to wzięła udział w kursach prowadzonych przez Matyldę Krzesińską i Bronisławę Niżyńską, siostrę Wacława Niżyńskiego, Grossówna wróciła do Torunia i pracowała jako choreograf w Teatrze Toruńskim prowadzonym ponownie przez Karola Bendę (1930-1932). W artykule można znaleźć obszerny na tyle, na ile pozwalają szczątkowe dokumenty, opis występu Heleny Grossówny jako Salome w Golgocie Bolesława Rosłana (reż. Józef Cornobis, 1931), a także liczne dowody na to, że Grossówna opuszczała Toruń już jako w pełni ukształtowana artystka.
