" Improper dancing will not be tolerated; persons so indulging will be immediately ejected. No moonlight or shadow lighting effect. The hall must remain fully lighted. No dance shall continue after 3 o'clock a.m. unless by written permission of the Mayor,and not later than 11:45 Saturdays. Pass-out checks are not to be issued. Matrons shall be employed at every public dance and have entire charge of ladies' rooms. Minors under the age of 17 years shall not be admitted to hall unless accompanied by parent or guardian. By special instructions of the directors of the Musician's Union, all orchestras are directed to obey the orders of the representative of the Mayor to cease playing should conditions so justify. " In the same article: "By orders of Mayor Fitzgerald yesterday, improper dances of all kinds are excluded from the public dance halls of Boston. The prohibition includes all the so-called animal dances, such as the turkey trot, bunnie hug, bear dance, etc, also the kitchen sink, tango and other extravagances." From Boston Daily Globe October 11, 1913. Take care, Sergey May you be forever touched by His Noodly Appendage...
