Scope and content
Attending the performance of Ted Shawn and his dancers at Jason Lee auditorium are Lillian (Mrs. Robert M.) Jackson, Shannon Smith and Alta (Mrs. George H.) Raleigh. Ted Shawn (1891-1972) was one of the early pioneers in 20th Century modern dance. Early in his dance career, 1914, he married Ruth St. Dennis and together they founded the Denishawn Co. They performed and worked together until they separated in 1930. From 1933-1940, Shawn performed and travelled with his own male company of dancers, forever changing the appearance of masculine dance. (T. Times, 4/15/1939, p. 7).
