Bessie Clayton and Terpsichorianists at the Palace Clayton, Bessie performer Dingle, Tom performer Giuran, John performer Theatrical Performance 1918-11-20 Palace What is probably the finest aggregation of dancers ever assembled in one vaudeville act is embraced in the present Bessie Clayton terpsichorean festival. Each artist is an individual star and doesn't conflict with any of the others. There are Tom Dingle, John Giuran, Jimmy Casson, and the Cassinos, with Bud Bernie at the piano . . . [Clayton] perpetuates her "cuts", kicks and pirouettes, with all her seasoned and practiced art, enhanced by artistic accent . . . Then comes Tom Dingle, who occupies the niche in the profession as a loose-legged stepper. Not quite well known yet but coming up fast, is John Giuran, an easy, graceful dancer, who possesses the art of pantomiming with his hands while dancing with his nether extremities. His "leg over leg" movements while doing "Russian" is in itself a triumph of acrobatic achievement (Variety December 6, 1918 p. 16).
