- <p> DIED. Charles ("Honi") Coles, 81, dapper, light-footed actor
- and tap-dancing virtuoso; of cancer; in New York City. He began
- dancing in the 1920s and, like most vaudevillians, was
- self-taught. His masterly footwork was generally unrecognized
- until he went on Broadway in 1949 in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
- With his cohort, dancer Cholly Atkins, he created one of
- Broadway's legendary soft-shoe teams. Coles won a Tony Award for
- My One and Only in 1983 and last year received a National Medal
- of the Arts.
