A lovely photo collection from Jim Keeling that shows a little girl couple (his mom Yvette and aunt Suzanne) of Kansas City, Missouri in various costumes from 1928 to 1932.
“My mother, Yvette (Pillet) Keeling and her sister Suzanne, Kansas City, Missouri taken between 1929 to 1932. These photos were taken near 75th & Washington in Waldo where my mother grew up. She was born in France and immigrated to the US in 1928. They would sing and dance between movies at a local theater and perform at recitals. Their mother hand made all their costumes and clothes.”
