Jessy Houston’s Jolly Girls, 1937
Pamela Houston (daughter of a Jolly Girl) wrote:
“The class was Miss Jessie Houston and her Jolly Girls. It was a tap, ballet school which was held in a wooden hut on St Johns Hill off Holyrood Road. It was next door to the horses slaughter house!
My mother, Elizabeth Burns (Hume, Munro), is the girl sitting, front-right in this photo. Her sister, Margaret Munro, is beside her with the teacher.
Other girls in the class were Nancy Leonards, Peggy Cuthbertson, Ina McFarlane. The photograph was taken at a photographer’s studio in Gayfield Square, Leith Walk.”
