Original Toronto Star caption: Hurry up; I can't hold this pose forever; pleads Etobicoke Mayor Dennis Flynn yesterday as he practises a few movements with 21-year-old Robin de Villiers of the Ballet Ys company. It will start a four-day borough tour of performances and lectures next Tuesday. The scene was in Etobicoke Civic Centre. Once the mayor loosened up; he was all confidence. I haven't had a fling like this since I went cross-country skiing in 1940.
