This vintage press photo features pretty dancer, Pearl Regay, teaching young orphans to dance. The children were under the care of the Israel Orphan Asylum in New York City. Miss Regay taught the children a few simple steps and also entertained them. Pearl Regay was a respected stage performer. She appeared in three Broadway plays between 1922 and 1928. These plays included “The Desert Song” and “George White’s Scandals”. The Israel Orphan Asylum was founded by Gustave Hartman, a municipal court judge and philanthropist. He founded the organization in 1913 and ran it until his death in 1936. The asylum cared for children ages one to six, and later in time, included girls up to the age of fourteen. Many of the children in the Asylum were orphaned by World War I. This press photo was taken by the International Newsreel Company. The photograph measures 8.25 x 6.25 inches. On the reverse of the photo is a stamp from the International Newsreel Company. In addition, there is a stamp from King Features Syndicate, which was likely the last owner of the rights of this photograph. SOLD
