This series primarily contains photographs of Hoctor including images of her youth, early dance training with Louis H. Chalif, formal studio portraits, and publicity shots. Photographs of paintings depicting her are filed under artwork, as are images of the dancer with her own bronze bust and the sculptor Jacob Epstein. Several photographs feature Hoctor's extended family including her grandmother, siblings, and nieces and nephew. Most of the family members are unidentified. Depictions of the Hoctor School of Ballet capture rehearsals and recital performance. Portraits of notable individuals inscribed to Hoctor or otherwise collected by her include Edwin Booth, Jimmy Durante, Ruth Etting, Alicia Markova, and Marilyn Miller. Images related to identified productions are found under Production Files. |
