Fidi Grube
Fidi (Fidy) Grube was a talented dancer who rose to fame in the 1920s of Weimar Berlin dancing alongside Kathleen (Kitty) Zammit and toured Europe. The dancing team of Zammit and Grube was most certainly one of the best and most successful of all German dancing teams in the 1920s and early 1930s.
Leap Year at the London Hippodrome, 1924
George Robey was the star of Julian Wylie’s third Hippodrome revue Leap Year described as ‘one of the best revues that London has ever seen’. Launched at the London Hippodrome on 20th March 1924 it ran for 471 performances. The show had no cohesive plot but was designed to showcase the talent of Robey as a comedian and he appeared in at least 11 of the scenes, which means that in fact Leap Year was constructed around him.
