I had heard of Vernon and Irene Castle, but had never seen any photos of them and did not know about the book. This was very interesting.

Congratulations. For more than 20 years I've been involved with research on Jas. Reese Europe, his orchestra, and the Clef Club. In 2003 I curated/produced a new recording of Europe's (with many of the Castle dances) music from original orchestrations for New World Records (here's the link: http://www.paragonragtime.com/blackmanhattandisc.html). There is surviving film footage of the Castles dancing c.1914. I've watched it at the New York Public Library. It looks as if some of these frames from the book were taken from this footage. Again, congratulations. Sincerely, Rick Benjamin Hi:
