Additional Information
Frances Larson plays a witch for the Halloween Dance, a part of the 1927 May Fete. The witch carries a broom and stands before a large October 1927 calendar page. The May Fete was a modest production from 1909-1916 until Nell Martindale took over as head and expanded the small show into a spectacular dance-drama. From 1917 to 1927, May Fete saw elaborate sets and as many as 500 performers. The last May Fete was in 1927 when Martindale resigned to be married.
