RAVEN SCHOOL
OF DANCE OPENS
Toney and Barbara Raven are
new faces in the Boerne civic
picture. They come to us with
high hopes of establishing
dancing and theatrical arts
school, which will eventually
lead to a Boerne Little Theatre
rivaling those in surrounding
areas. Their motto is “We’ll train
our own.
Classes began December 13th,
and are still being formed at
their studio in the Kutzer Bldg.
Every drop of paint, pounding of
nails, the transformation from
bakery to a dancing school, has
been done by the two of them.
The general idea was a “little
touch of theatre.” The public
grand opening will take place in
early January.
Toney and Barbara both have
wide and varied theatrical back-
grounds. Both have appeared on
national television from New
York to Hollywood. To mention
one, the Johnny Carson Show.
Both have appeared in numer-
ous night clubs, summer stock,
and musical comedies as profes
sionals. Both have taught danc-

ing and voice for the past fifteen
years. Some of the better known
musicals they have appeared in
recently are “My Fair Lady,”
“South Pacific” and “West Side
Story” to mention a few.
Toney is 33 years old and wry-
ly comments he has been danc-
ing 29 of those years. He became
a professional dancer at the ripe
old age of fourteen. He has
studied with Jerome Robbins,
Peter Gennaro, Gower Champ-
ion, Matt Maddox, and the late
Jack O’Connor (Donald O’Con-
nor’s brother). While in Califor-
nia, Toney worked as a stunt
man in Western motion pictures
and T. V. series “Have Gun,
Will Travel,” “Gene Autry”,
Roy Rogers,” and “Lone Ran-
ger” series. The past few years
have largely been spent teaching
and choreographing musicals
and allied fields. The Ravens are
members of Dance Masters of
America and Actors Guild of
Variety Artists.
Barbara received her formal
training dance-wise in Houston,
Marcella Donovan-Perry and Ca-
dek Conservatory, Chattanooga,
Tenn. Her voice training began
in San Antonio with Rufus Crad-
dock, continued at the Conserva-
tory. While in Chattanooga she
was soprano soloist with the
Chattanooga Symphony, Civic
Chorus, Grand Opera, and “Miss
Chattanooga.” She had her own
T.V. show, and starred in musi-
cals. In Houston she was guest
soloist with Houston Symphony,
Chorale, religious works at
downtown churches, and appear-
ed in musicals and grand opera.
Toney and Barbara sing in St.
Helena’s Choir here. She was
Metropolitan Opera finalist in
1963, and has a standing audi-
tion with Gian-Carlo Menotti,
composer and creator of “Festi-
val of Two World’s,” Spoletto,
Italy.
Toney and Barbara have been
in the Boerne area about 6
months, arriving weary of show
business rigors to work at a lo-
cal ranch where Toney was fore-
man. An “after choir” chat led
to rekindling of a life-long dream
of a studio of their own for
children. They have many kind
people to thank for their advice
I and help in getting started, fore-
most Irvin and Rosamond Kutz-
er. They specialize in training of
children in ballet, tap, jazz, acro-
batic dancing from the age of
four to young adults. Social ball-
room training for all ages, and
the highly specialized field of
training dancers and singers to-
wards a professional career.
Troop 4 met on Tuesday from

We sang Christmas Carols
