The back of this August 1954 photo says "Earl Carroll's beauties!!" Who the heck is Earl Carroll? We do not know. But we do recognize Adelaide, Annette, Emma, Alverna, Marion, Florence, Kate and Anna. Actually, we're not 100 percent sure that's Emma (third from left) and Florence (sixth from left). What do you think?

Yet another photo of aunts all in a row
The back of this August 1954 photo says "Earl Carroll's beauties!!" Who the heck is Earl Carroll? We do not know. But we do recognize Adelaide, Annette, Emma, Alverna, Marion, Florence, Kate and Anna. Actually, we're not 100 percent sure that's Emma (third from left) and Florence (sixth from left).

You got it right---they lined up by size rather than age. I have no idea who Earl Carrol was---and he probably had no idea who the Sprick girls were either...
ReplyDeleteFabulous photo! I love seeing them all together like that.
ReplyDeleteWhat I want to know is: Why is it that women of their generation seem to have actual waistlines, while we don't? (I'm only half kidding.)
Hugs,

I've noticed that too about the aunts! So slim! The waistlines...no doubt the result of healthy eating and hard work, but also, maybe, corsets??
