Fred Astaire (born Frederick Austerlitz (1899–1987) was an American actor, dancer, singer, choreographer, and television presenter. He is widely considered the greatest dancer in film history.
Adele's sparkle and humor drew much of the attention, owing in part to Fred's careful preparation and sharp supporting choreography. She still set the tone of their act. But by this time, Astaire's dancing skill was beginning to outshine his sister's.
During the 1920s, Fred and Adele appeared on Broadway and the London stage. They won popular acclaim with the theater crowd on both sides of the Atlantic in shows such as Jerome Kern's The Bunch and Judy (1922), George and Ira Gershwin's Lady, Be Good (1924), and Funny Face (1927)....
Esteban (Stephen) Cortez and Peggy Barthen, were a couple of ballroom dancers from New York known simply as “Cortez and Peggy”.
Thomas Percival Montague Mackey (1894–1950) was a British pianist, composer, arranger, bandleader, publisher and band agent. He is best known for his work as a composer and musical director for over sixty films from 1933 to 1951.
Marcel Bloch (1882-1966) was a famous French painter known for his paintings but also engravings and posters. This engraving was printed by Philippe Rosen, engraver in Paris,
