Page from The Bystander showing Oscar and Suzette demonstrating various steps from the new ragtime dance, the Turkey Trot, which they were performing at the London Hippodrome in 1912. The background of a very distressed Terpsichore, muse of dance, reflects how this provocative dance divided public opinion at the time.
