Funny seeing them as "Vernon Castle and Wife" not as "Vernon and Irene Castle"! Surely she was as well known as him. Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernon_and_Irene_Castle And starring Fred & Ginger: www.imdb.com/title/tt0031983/

The silhouette of the two and their dog would make an excellent stencil. Thanks.

Their book, "Modern Dancing," appeared in 1914. Vernon Blythe adopted Castle as a stage name. Irene's maiden name, appropriately, was Foote. Here is a short film clip of Irene, from 1914: www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=77119 And from You Tube, Vernon and Irene dancing together: www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5TE74e9vAg

We used to go see Rogers/Astaire movies in NY as a little kid (in the 70s). Of course they were all happy movies, with the exception of the story of Vernon and Irene Castle... what a sad ending.
