[h-cost] Question for 1920s reenactors
Hello the list, after so long… Doing a play (“Camping with Henry and Tom”) where the character Henry Ford refers to two dances: The Ripple and The Newport. A quick Google doesn’t yiield anything. Did the playwright just make up these dance names, or were they real dances around 1920? I’d very much like to hear from any reenactor who has danced one or both, or even heard of one or both. Any help appreciated! —Ruth Anne Baumgartner > On Jun 9, 2016, at 11:14 PM, Christine Robb wrote: > > (Retrying - originally sent May 30 but it failed to be delivered) > > Best website with a couple of pictures: > http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/guelph-museum-lady-duff-gordon-lucile-1.3566150 > > Heard about this exhibit on the radio today.

Re: [h-cost] Question for 1920s reenactors
Thanks to Cin, Lavolta Press, and Katy Bishop for their prompt and helpful messages. It should be fun working out some moments of these for Henry Ford and President Warren G. Harding to do together—should be quite an effect, judging from the videos! Best wishes to all for a lovely Summer by the Sea. —Ruth Anne > On Aug 4, 2016, at 1:31 PM, Cin wrote: > > Have a great time!
