- Betty Felsen was an American ballerina and vaudeville star. She was born in Chicago, Illinois to Lillian and David Felsenthal.
She began taking lessons at a local Chicago ballet school when she was eight years old, and often performed solo dances in shows presented by that school. Just before her tenth birthday in 1916, her parents enrolled her as a ballet student with the Pavley-Oukrainsky Ballet School within the Chicago Opera Association. Then, in 1919 Betty was accepted to be a member of the Chicago Opera’s Pavley-Oukrainsky Ballet corps de ballet. From December 1920 until the fall of 1922 Betty was a ballerina soloist and performed with them throughout North America.
Betty performed in vaudeville with her first partner, Frank Lischeron, from the spring of 1923 until the fall. She then switched to a new partner, Jack Broderick, because Frank did not have her vision for the act or her expertise. They performed on the B.F. Keith and Pantages vaudeville circuits throughout the U.S. and Canada as Broderick and Felsen from 1923 to 1927. Their act evolved from a simple dance act to one with over twenty dancers, an orchestra, and elaborate costumes and sets. They became so popular that from 1925 to 1926 they played for 20 straight weeks at the huge Colony Theater on Broadway in New York City. By the end of 1925 theatrical critics were proclaiming them to be one of the best dance acts in the country, if not the best.
In 1926 and 1927, they starred in two spectacular musical productions, touring across the United States and Canada, first for about three months in Emil Boreo’s Mirage de Paris followed by nine months in their own Ballet Caprice.
After Jack quit the act near the end of 1927, Betty continued to manage the troupe and, with a new dance partner, toured throughout the northeastern United States for the next six months or so as Betty Felsen and Company. The final performance of Ballet Caprice was on June 4, 1928, at America’s premier vaudeville theater, Broadway’s famed Palace Theater in New York City.
Referring to the Felsen & Licheron performances at the Balaban & Katz chain of Chicago theaters the Vaudeville Newspaper said “This dancing act is one of the best seen in the city in some time.” Theatrical critics heaped praise on the dancing of Broderick & Felsen and of Betty herself. What follows are some examples. At the end of July 1924, critics in Columbus Ohio said of Broderick & Felsen, “they offer the highest class of dancing” and “they display a most remarkable technical knowledge of dancing”. L.L. Clemons stated on 9/16/24 in Tacoma “this clever duo live up to their billing and miles beyond. No more artistic dancing has ever been seen on a Tacoma stage before.” In their 7th week (early November 1925) at the Colony Theater, the New York Star reported that Broderick & Felsen are “one of the biggest dance hits on Broadway this season.” On 2/21/26, while performing at Chicago’s Palace Theater, Billboard claimed that “Boreo’s Mirage de Paris is a stupendous and colorful revue” and “Jack Broderick and Betty Felsen carry the principal roles and are finished articles in all that they are called upon to do.” Extolling the presentation of Ballet Caprice at Keith’s Theater in Cincinnati, a critic said on 3/20/27 “The interpretive ballet dances of Jack Broderick and Betty Felsen are impressive beyond the ordinary.” In Buffalo on 2/26/28, the Courier Express reviewed Betty Felsen & Company saying of Betty “Her final dance … stands out as one of the few dance classics left on the vaudeville stage today.”
From November 1, 1928, to early 1932, Betty owned and operated a performing arts school in Worcester MA. She continued to perform locally and in vaudeville theaters in New England, sometimes with her advanced students known as the Betty Felsen Dancers. She moved to Cleveland OH in mid-1932 where she operated a performing arts school until sometime after she married Samuel Tonkin in June 1937. Betty gave birth to their son, David, in November 1938 She died on November 30, 2000, in Sandy, UT.
