Lindy Hoppers can geek out over this newspaper article from the New York Amsterdam News, Wednesday 1st October 1930 about the Savoy Ballroom. Check out the advert in the bottom right entitled “Savoy Night of Happiness”. Mentions of Fess Williams’ and Fletcher Henderson’s orchestras, fabulous. Plus I had a giggle about the crossdressing at the Alhambra. Oh, and how fun is the article to the right, reading “Freakish Parties in California Movie Colony Being Hotly Denounced”. Brilliant.
