ROCKETTES!


My cousin Frances was a Rockette at the
Radio City Music Hall in New York.
In 1937, the dancers competed
in an International Dance Festival
at the Paris Exposition.

The Rockettes placed first in the competition,
something that Frances was very proud of.
In 1937, Frances was just 25 years old.
She lived to her 90's and I did 
get to meet her when she visited
relatives in Minnesota.



Here are the 46 Rockettes who went to Paris in 1937. 

The photo was part of a program for 
Radio City Music Hall on June 17, 1937.
And was found on e-bay.
I am not positive which one is Frances but when I enlarged the photo
I think she could be in the third row from the top on the left.
