Yes but they sure had fun while it lasted.  Great dancing! Chick Web swings forever.

Yep. And if you ever see the Buster Keaton movie Go West, you'll see the dance moves that Elvis adopted some 30 years later. Just briefly, though.

No it is nothing strange about looking a vintage of dead people. In a few years, you will be dead too and your family will look at pictures of you.

I am so glad this was captured in film. Wonderful.
