| Abstract | An in-depth examination of the extraordinary story of this great brother-sister team, with full attention to its historical and theatrical context. This 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 close of the 1800s, 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. -- Publisher. |
