Historical information

Black and white photo of girls in costumes on stage during an Annual Demonstration. Some of them appear to be butterflies.
The photo is very similar to one published in the newsletter as the demonstration in 1948. The album it was in is a collection of press photos taken during dress rehearsals from around that time.
Throughout the year Melbourne Legacy provided classes for Junior Legatees such as dancing, gymnastics and Eurythmics. The Demonstration was an annual event to showcase their skills. Melbourne Legacy conducted Annual Demonstrations / Parades from 1928 through to the 1980's, usually held at Melbourne Town Hall. The beautiful costumes were made by members of the Junior Legacy Mothers' Club and the Melbourne Legacy Wives' Association.

Significance

A record of the displays at the Annual Demonstrations. Also that Legacy provided classes for junior legatees and the skills learned were displayed in the Annual Demonstration.
