    Summary: 
    In the first comprehensive study of the Astaire's theatrical career together, Riley traces their rise to fame from humble midwestern origins and early days as child performers on small-time vaudeville stages. From the start, Adele was the more natural performer, while Fred had to hone his trademark timing and elegance through endless hours of rehearsal.
