Modern dancing, the man is 80 according to the program but more likely around 72. His female partner is 60.
Billed as a freak act given their age combined with their dancing performance.
They do three of the modern dances, closing with a fast trot. It is some anguish to the Hammerstein mob when they see those youthful old-timers put it over. They compose the greatest freak act in the world. If properly billed and boomed for what they are, likely the oldest dancing couple extant, they should become a vaudeville feature in this day of the dancing fad.
