Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Grace adjusts Mary Galen's foot. Mary, Era, Jean, and Mary Horton stand in a line with one foot raised slightly off the ground, their hands on each other's hips. Era, Jean, and Mary Horton smile into the camera. The National Youth Administration has given eighty boys and girls in Los Angeles the opportunity to sing and dance on the stage in the National Theaters Project. N.Y.A. expects to open seven more projects in an opportunity to employ 665 youths from relief families, in addition to the sixty boys and girls who have been given employment as stage, wardrobe, and other technicians. Photograph appears with the article, "Eighty Boys and Girls to Have Stage Chance," Los Angeles Times, 07 Feb 1936: A12. Text from newspaper caption: "Limber up!" says Dance Instructress Grace Immerman to four aspirants for the N.Y.A. theater project. They are, left to right, Mary Galen, Era Dott Brown, Jean Unhan and Mary Horton. Maybe they'll make it.
