Original Toronto Star caption: The swingers. A-Go-Go 1907-and les girls had fun then; too. Madness at the beach; a flash of ankle and oh; you kid! Or did that come a couple of decades later? No matter. One suspects the unseen photo grapher is twirling a moustache. And one suspects the picture's posed. Grandmother; as she is now; is always so demure. In 1907; of course; watusi was simply a mysterious and probably sinister; since strange; creature pictured in the National Geographic; and Swim was something you did in the water-sedately and well-clothed. Now? About 100 Toronto nightspots have asked for licenses for dancing; where we can shake; shimmy; shock and be shocked.
