EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Davenie Watson, one of Billy Newsome's most gifted pupils, in a moment of quiet reflection during the 1930s. The image, taken in 1931, showcases Davenie's affection for a boudoir doll as she sits in a plush armchair, surrounded by the warm glow of a table lamp. The jazz age was in full swing during this era, and the entertainment industry was ablaze with talent, particularly in the realm of dance. Billy Newsome, a renowned dance instructor, was known for nurturing the careers of many young dancers, including Davenie. Her natural grace and poise were evident in her movements, making her a standout among her peers. In her downtime, Davenie would often be found with her beloved boudoir doll, a common companion for many dancers during this period. These dolls were often used as props to help dancers practice their moves and perfect their technique. The 1930s were an exciting time for entertainment, with dance crazes sweeping the nation and magazines featuring the latest dance moves and trends. Davenie, with her youthful energy and dedication to her craft, was undoubtedly at the forefront of this dance revolution. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a talented young dancer, capturing her playful side and her deep connection to the art of dance.
