They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?
A dance hall, Los Angeles 1935: the Great Depression, farm crops failed, unemployment soared. Al Capone ruled the streets, while Fred and Ginger danced across the movie screens. In ballrooms all over America the young also danced, competing like prize fighters seeking escape from poverty, their only hope the money offered to the winners of the marathon dance contest. Couples danced for weeks on end until only one pair was left standing. Such events are not fiction; the young came with dreams of financial security or of stardom in the land of freedom and opportunity.
