Abstract

Newspaper clippings and press reviews, January 1913-April 1915, documenting the appearances of dancer Alice Eis and her partner Bert French. Their repertory of performances on the Hammerstein vaudeville circuit included Rouge et noir, The Vampire, Dance of the temptress, and The dance of fortune, and an Apache dance that led to their arrest on charges of indecency.
