Description

2022.P.08.11.17.1-6 According to a 09/04/1961 West Life article clipping found in album 2022.08.14.01, these pictures show young dancers from the Jones School of Ballet performing for an audience of 150 kids at the Bay Village Public Library for their Summer Reading Club participants who completed the requirements to earn a certificate which was presented on 08/25/1961. Mrs. Walter Below introduced the dancers. All dancers perform in front of a curtain (covering a window?) with midcentury print. The dark, jasped, linoleum floor of the Library is visible. 6. Walter Below and Ellen Leonard Kenilworth perform "Jack and Jill." Below is in a button up short sleeved shirt and pants and white sneakers. He holds up what appears to be a cowboy hat. Kenilworth is in a light colored, circle cut dress and might be wearing ballet slippers. She is curtseying and looking at Below.
