Cheerful Gardner #9

This is an interesting picture, I doubt that many would realize that "Tessie" is actually skipping on her right legs only, front and back. My dad liked this trick and during the dance section of our act "Lydia" would  start off with the back leg skip, "Fanny" would then do this shuffle but with the outside legs raised so the audience could see the trick better (Herb Walters announced it as "Hippity Hop To The Barber Shop" much to the dismay of my dad), meanwhile I would be strapping on "Anna May's" castanets and mantilla for her tambourine dance.
