may or may not have noticed
that Veloz and Yolanda, dark, suave
and graceful American dance team,
have just brought back from Europe

layers warming up the old dance, in
Monaco and France, and that
thoughtful citizens were uneasy. It
is supposed to have paced the first
frantic rhythm of the French revolu-
ton. Nobody knows just how it
started, but, when it gets going in a
roadside bistro or on a village
green, you'd better hunt for cover.
That's their story and they stick
to it.
These timber young New
Workers are probably tops in
earnings as dance team, and
are said to have been paid more
on their European trip than any
other dancers, past or present.
When they first teamed up in
1926, Frank Veloz bought a
$3.50 tuxedo and borrowed his
fathers white vest, which was
too big for him. Y0landa Cas-
sazi borrowed pink ballet skirt
and slippers from friend. The
slippers were much too large
and she had to stuff them with
tissue paper. They had much in
common, and could keep in step
with each other, but not with the
music. They lasted ore week
and were fired from the next Ia
jobs before they began to click.

at a, dance hall, he saw the 16-year-
old Yolanda making. heavy weather
with a Woodworking partner. He
cut in and said, "Listen, tumble

That was the beginning of a
lucrative friendship. They won
40 prizes together, around the
dance halls, before their. first
professional engagement. They
have now had about five years
in the bOx-office shakespeare,
with, as yet, no arthritis set
ting in.
AS to any hint of war-nongering,
in bringing over the carmagnole,
they say their enlightened public
will understand this is just a folk
dance and won't start any trouble.
