The Dance Card Museum

The American Wing

# ADC 10. This card was from the " Third Grand Ball" given by the "Jolly five" ( the arrangement committee list five names) on Saturday April 25, 1891. We believe that this was from Milwaukee. The inside program lists 24 dances and # "1. Grand March and Quadrille," lists next to it the " Jolly five." Half of the dances list beside it a club or organization such as: "4. Schottische, . . . United Social Clubs", "6. Quadrille, . . . Friendship Club", "11. Quadrille, . . . Milwaukee Musical Circle", "15. Tycoon Polka . . . Washington Club", "19. Cadet Waltz . . .Lyceum Specialty Club". This card asks many questions: Did all these clubs and organization attend this ball, Were the clubs and organizations listed by the particular dance the only ones allowed on the floor for that dance. A small piece of paper can open up a world of questions.Price: $50.00.
