Five Feet of Dynamite Dainty Dancer Still Shines
Bobbe Jean known as Marjorie Bernhardt, age 66, once a vaudeville performer with the Carl Freed Orchestra and George Burns and Gracie Allen, now runs the Bernhardt School of Dance in Ottawa. She teaches tots aged 2 1/2 to 5, believes in early dance education, and plans to teach until her age. Bernhardt recalls a career, a late studio addition to her modular home, a hip injury from a Toronto fair mishap, and her philosophy that career matters most.
