I New Photo Magazine Sends Ace Photographer to Savoy Ballroom t The sensational danceP^icfures shown on this page are the latest scoop of Ameri ca’s brilliant new magazine, POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHY. The editors of POPULAR PHOTOG RAPHY, searching for the true center of America’s swing dancing, sent their ace cameraman on a tour through the dance centers of New York. His search led him directly to the famous Savoy Dance Pal ace, Harlem’s popular hot spot. Before the excited cameraman’s eyes flashed the finest crowd of amateur danc ers he had ever seen. Beautiful young girls whirling round the necks of husky partners like trapeze artists; shiny patent leather hoots ra-ta-tat-tapping rhythmic beats in time with the bleating swing music. Dozens of sensational action-pictures were taken of the Lindy Hop, Susie Q, frog walkin’, peckin’—all the original creations of Harlem’s fast-steppers. "It was breath-taking to see these bril liant amateur dancers give expression to the swing music that is sweeping the coun try,” exclaimed the editor of POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHY. "Nothing was too difficult for these dance artists to try. Girls flashing through the air, whirling bodies, flying feet, were to be seen in every corner of the Ballroom, and such perfect rhythm, technique and timing. It was marvelous!” The accompanying pictures are but a few of the many shots being featured in the current issue of POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHY, America’s leading photographic magazine.
