JITTERBUG DANCING
Controversy In Sweden (Received August 23, 7.10 p.m.) LONDON, August 23.
A nation-wide controversy in Sweden about jitterbugging reached a climax last weekend when two dancers were injured. Many Swedes argued that the dance was “decadent, awful to look at and generally uncultivated.”
Though “rug cutting” was banned in Stockholm’s three biggest dance halls, jitterbugs'continued to jump in Gothenburg’s halls. Following leg injuries, to a boy and girl, it is believed the Gothenburg dance halls might follow Stockholm’s lead and mllow oaly “cultivated” dancing.
