A newspaper article titled, "The Dance: A Man's Art" by John Martin about male dancing from the Sunday Times, ca. Feb. 2, 1935. The newspaper article describes how dancing can be beneficial for men and how dancing, as an art expression, does not have to collide against the masculinity expectations of the time. The article was written by John Martin at the request of several inquiries by readers. For biographical information on Ted Shawn, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/584. A printed caption on the back reads: "John Lindquist 16 La Grange St., Boston 16, MA".
