a show-business partnership and
cultural
sensation like no other. In our celebrity-sated
era, it's hard to comprehend what a genuine
phenomenon these two siblings from Omaha
were. At the height of their success in the
mid-
1920s,
the Astaires seemed to define the
Jazz Age. They were Gershwin's music in motion,
a fascinating pair who wove spellbinding rhythms
in song and dance.
In this book, the first comprehensive study
of their theatrical career together, Kathleen
Riley traces the Astaires' rise to fame from
humble midwestern origins and early days as
child performers on small-time vaudeville
stages (where Fred, fatefully, first donned top
hat and tails) to their 1917 debut on Broadway
to star billings on both sides of the Atlantic.
They became ambassadors of an art form they
helped to revolutionize, adored by audiences,
feted by royalty, and courted socially by the elites
everywhere they went. From the start,
Adele
was the more natural performer, spontaneous,
funny, and self-possessed, while Fred had to
hone his trademark timing and elegance through
endless hours of rehearsal, a disciplined regimen
that
Adele
loathed. Ultimately, Fred's dancing
expertise surpassed his sister's, and their paths
diverged:
Adele
married into British aristocracy,
and Fred headed for Hollywood.
The Astaires examines in depth the extraordinary
story of this great brother-sister team, with full
attention to its historical and theatrical context.
It is not merely an account of the first part of
Fred's long and illustrious career but one with
its own significance. Born at the very end of the
nineteenth century, Fred and
Adele
grew up
together with the new century, and when they
reached superstardom during the interwar years,
they shone as an affirmation of life and hope amid
a prevailing crisis of faith and identity.
