A chapter from On Stage, Gypsies appeared in Dance Magazine in September 1997. The entire text and accompanying photos may be seen here.
From Library Journal March 15, 1998
"Set mostly from 1929 to 1931 on the West Coast theater circuit in vaudevilles, reviews and musicals, this personal reminiscence of a gypsy dancer puts the reader in touch with a long-lost theatre art ... excitement and risk a young woman experienced in the entertainment business. The account is fleshed out with nostalgic scrapbook photos."
Here are a couple of those nostalgic photos - can you pick out Shyrle?
We have a 1994 interview with Shyrle by Pat Craig, Contra Costa Times columnist, but the newspaper wouldn't grant us permission to use it.
