This 1926 poster by Hegeman Print advertises a Los Angeles show by Ruth St. Denis, Ted Shawn, and their Denishawn Dancers. It highlights their return from an 18-month tour across Asia with forty performers. The troupe drew big crowds with themes like a new Algerian dance drama and Spanish ballet. Their impresario, L.E. Behymer, organized the event. He booked the Los Angeles Philharmonic Theatre for five nights starting December 6th, 1926. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more on their collection.
