NEW STEPS ACROSS THE SEA
A DANCING LESSON FOR £SO
(United Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received Jan. 22 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 22.
Forty professional dancing teachers were seated in a West End studio before a telepho e when, with startling clearness, oame the words: “New York here. Arthur Murray speaking, Cet ready for a lessen." It was a £SO dancing lesson in a new American ballroom craze the “Blackbottom”. Over the trans-Atlantic radio, gramaphone music, with which directions were accompanied in an American voice went on outlining every successive movement, while a pupil of Santos Casani a famous Charleston exponent, moved obediently over the floor, bending and straightening his knees with rhythmical precision. At the end-of six minutes or £SO worth of lesson the pupil had mastered the intricate steps.—Sun.
