content: Although the folder includes two early cakewalks, the rest of the songs are about the dances popular during the 1910s ragtime dancing craze--the Turkey Trot, the Camel Walk, the two-step, and the glide. There are no tangos in the folder. See 3.8 BB for Vernon and Irene Castle. Many 1910s dance items are not in series 3. (29 items)
