Abstract Ruth Page and Jerome Moross’s Frankie and Johnny was first performed under the auspices of the WPA Federal Theatre Project in 1938 Chicago. It was well-received, winning comments such as “a wow with audiences” and “the best thing Mr. Roosevelt has done.” Seven years later, Frankie and Johnny was revived in New York by Serge Denham’s Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. The critics of New York did not find it as entertaining as those in 1938 Chicago, however. An analysis of the reception of Frankie and Johnny from these two time periods provides insight into two stages in the development of an American style of ballet.
