Scope and content
The "Can Can Cuties" (l to r) Lanette Adams, Jean Reinhardt, Bertha Riley, Linda Sather and Rose Freeny, were just one of the acts in the "Paris in Orbit" roller skating show presented by the Tacoma Dance and Figure Club from November 29 through December 1, 1959 at the Tacoma Roller Bowl, 7455 South Tacoma Way. Almost 70 skaters, aged 6 to 19, took part in the skating extravaganza, put on to raise money for expenses in roller skating competition. All the skaters were amateurs, and all hoped to win a chance to enter the national competitive events held in Little Rock, Arkansas in late July that year. (TNT 11/22/1959, pg. D-11;11/29/1959, pg.
