About "who cares", well, check out his fan club 100 years later.

I had to smile recently as I noticed that a new reader review had appeared on the amazon.co.uk site and it showed that he had completely missed the fun and had spent quite a while producing a bile-filled blast against proper toppers and tailcoats. It made me reflect favourably upon my decision to turn the Storey-mobile off the 'i-way'; where such geeks lurk in their keyboards, after the fashion of old-fashioned perverts, who used to lurk in the bushes, waiting to flash their short-comings (nod to David Niven's commentary) at total strangers.

Fred & his famous dancing partner of 29 years, Adele Astaire(Fred's sister), used to wait in the theatre wings watching Fairbanks, Sr., headline whilst the junior dancers in their youth had yet to hit it big in the entertainment world. Dancers have emulated Fred Astaire ever since with a ribbon, tie, scarf, or other material around the waist in dancing classes/rehearsals throughout the world.
