"The Whirl of Life" after a "biography" film of Vernon and Irene, by
the same title. The biography is a fabrication, except for the part
where V&I are dance teachers. It's one of the best sources for
ragtime dance styling around. I believe the Met Museum owns the last
original print. There's many copies, tho.
