Esther Jones a Florence Mills Impersonator Dancing At Club Until 3AM[1]


Baby Esther Jones Florence Mills Impersonator 1928

Young "Flo Mills'" father must face court in New York. The plea that they received no salary for the dancing of Esther Lee Jones, seven years old in the Everglades, failed to save the girl's alleged father, William Jones and Louis Bolton, white, from being held for Special Sessions court when arraigned here Monday. The pair face charges of allowing a minor to give public performances without a permit. Considerable interest has been aroused in the case and the child, dubbed a "second Florence Mills," is in charge of the Children's Society. Found dancing in the club at three a.m., the two sponsors of the child were arrested. Jones, who is said not to be her father, is reported to have exploited the girl in Chicago and fleeing the city when an investigation was begun into his activities.
