ViolinConcerto Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I found a series of LIFE Magazine Photos of SAB in 1936 -- all in white tutus, by Eisey, as he was called. There are about 8 pictures. I've seen many but not all of these. Any identifications? This was the period of "On Your Toes" and the season at the Metropolitan Opera (just leafing through Chujoy). The male teacher might have been Vilzak. http://images.google.com/hosted/life/l?q=ballerinas+source:life&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dballerinas%2Bsource:life%26hl%3Des&imgurl=6d58880bf8ca0706 Link to comment
liebs Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I believe that studio was on Broadway at 84th Street. It was later occupied by a school run by Barbara Fallis and Richard Thomas. I studied there in the 70s. It is now a Barnes & Noble. Link to comment
ViolinConcerto Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 I don't think so. The date is 1936, so that would have been at Madison and 59th Street. They moved into the 83rd St. school many years later. Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Yes, this is the original SAB at 637 Madison Ave., which had been the Isadora Duncan school in NYC. Link to comment
rg Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 the man at the piano looks like Erick Hawkins. the one at the barre, a bit like William Dollar. Link to comment
liebs Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 It was those windows that threw me off. The 83rd street building has those same kind. Link to comment
Jack Reed Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 ... the one at the barre, a bit like William Dollar. The man at the barre? Are we seeing the same image, or has it changed since the link was posted? I see three women in white costumes standing around a man in street clothes seated at a piano. Nobody at a barre; no male teacher. Link to comment
