£SO DANCING LESSON
GIVEN BY WIRELESS. A LONDON WEST END EXPERIENCE. (Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, January 22. Forty professional dancing teachers were sealed in a West End studio before a telephone, when with startling clearness came the words: “New York here. Arthur Murray speaking. Get ready for the lesson.’’ It was a £SO dancing lesson, in a new American ballroom crane “Blackbottom,” over a Transatlantic'radio telephone, and it was so clear that those in the room overheard over the telephone the gramophone music with which the directions were accompanied. The American voice went on outlining every successive movement, while the pupil of Santos Casani, the famous Charleston exponent, moved obediently over the floor, bending and straightening the knees with rhythmical precision. At the end of six minutes, or £3O worth of a lesson, the pupil had mastered the intricate steps. Sydney Sun Cable.
