Austins Return From New York
Mrs. Jim Austin and Miss Cherry Austin returned last night from a summer in New York where Miss Austin, such a lovely dancer and a general favorite in the juvenile set, did work under some of the most eminent artists of the dance in the East.
Much of the season was given over to private instruction in ballet but Miss Austin did some work in tap dancing, and was a member of a number of classes composed of professional dancers.
In the classes Miss Austin had the distinction of having as a partner on several occasions the noted Edwin Strawbridge and part of her summer training was to do demonstration work in pantomime before the school composed of 250 teachers of the dance from every section of the country.
One of the most thrilling of Cherry Austin’s summer experiences was serving as a model for a life size portrait, done by Gene Moore, and all Tuscaloosa awaits the arrival of this lovely portrait, to be Cherry’s gift to her father, Jim Austin, with interest.
Gene Moore, talented and quite in demand for portrait work, will place the portrait of Cherry Austin in New York for exhibit upon its completion and this will no doubt delay its reaching Tuscaloosa until the holiday season.
The association with the charming folk in the professional field of dancing afforded Cherry Austin worlds of joy this summer and needless to say that she at once became the “sweetheart in dancing” of the professional group in New York.
