Miirrha Alhambra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pauline Joutard (1890-1957) was a French-born pianist who performed under the stage name Miirrha Alhambra.[1]
She married Domingo Fernando Evia y Barbachano (1883-1977), a wealthy Mexican landowner who was a member of two families that have been prominent in the politics and culture of Yucatán since the mid 19th century, one of which, the Barbachanos, has been described as "one of the most powerful of Yucatán’s oligarchy.
She lived with her husband for some years in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico. There was born (on July 30, 1910) her son Edgar Domingo Evia y Joutard, the future photographer and author known professionally as Edgar de Evia (1910 – 2003).
On 30 June 1912, she arrived with her husband and two years' old son in New York City aboard the liner "Progreso" [2] and lived in the United States for the rest of her life.

- ^ According to the ship's manifest, which can be accessed at http://www.ellisisland.org, several members of the Evia family immigrated from Mexico to New York at the same time, including her husband's sister Rosario Evia de Espejo with her own husband and children. In the manifest, Alhambra's husband Domingo gave his occupation as farmer. According to the manifest, the family's surname was Evia, not de Evia.
