Sir, – I am researching the Theatre Royal’s dance troupe, the Royalettes, and specifically their two principal choreographers, Alice Dalgarno and Babs de Monte. The troupe transferred to the Gaiety after the closure of the Royal in 1962 and Alice and Babs continued working there, specifically with the Rathmines & Rathgar Musical Society, I think until the 1970s but thereafter information is scarce. If any of your readers can throw any light on the Royalettes or their principal dancers I would be grateful if they could contact me at the address below. – Yours, etc,
