Valeria Ladd collection on the revived Greek dance, 1924-1967

Scope and Content Note

Most of the materials in this one-box collection document Noyes Rhythm dancers.

The materials are organized in two series: Photographs and Miscellany.

In the Photographs series, most images document Valeria Ladd, Catherine Rapp (1901-1992), or other members of the Noyes Dance Group and their trips to Greece in the 1930s. In addition to photographs of dancers posing or dancing in natural settings or with ancient Greek ruins, there are photographs of museum pieces, landscapes, and the remains of Greek theatres and monuments.

The Miscellany series contains the first issue of The Denishawn Magazine and Ladd's certificate of her election to Who's Who.
