History / Biographical
Charles B. Hill-Tout (1858-1944) was an amateur anthropologist with a particular interest in Canadian Indigenous cultures. Hill-Tout was the author of multiple anthropological books, and was also the president of the anthropological section of the Royal Society of Canada and a fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain later in his career. Betty and Benny Fox, acrobatic performers known as "The Sky Dancers", were known for performing balancing and acrobatic stunts atop a 20-inch wide round platform attached to building rooftops. Betty and Benny Fox became popular performers around the late 1930's and performed in multiple National Fairs and other public venues throughout the 1940's. Although Benny continued to perform until the 1960's, multiple female acrobatic performers replaced the original Betty Fox as "Betty" in acts following the World War II era.
Scope & Content
File consists of 5 typed notes by Nicholas Morant with background/supplementary information pertaining to specific negatives/transparencies in his collection (see notes); 4 letters addressed to Morant pertaining to specific photos in collection (written by W. H. Towhey, Martha Roberts, George Ross [2 letters]) ; 2 articles/news clippings, one titled "Sitting Eagle Honored" (1984) pertaining to the building of a bronze statue of John Hunter, a.k.a. Sitting Eagle, in Calgary, and one pertaining to Charles B. Hill-Tout of Victoria, B.C. and his collection of British medals; one ad/poster pertaining to aerial performers "Sky Dancers: Betty and Benny Fox"; and 2 hand-drawn and annotated pencil sketches by Nicholas Morant depicting view of mountains and lakes from "Little Beehive", and Yoho Valley view from Spiral Tunnel.
