John Jarrot |
John Jarrot was not the most famous of the Cabaret
dancers in the 1910's but was very popular as a dancer through
different reasons. First he partnered with many famous female
dancers of the day such as Louise Alexander, Louise Greunning,
Mae Murray and Ivy and Joan Sawyer.
John's main partner in musical comedies was
off and on for many years was Ivy Sawyer until she married Joseph
Santley. They made their Broadway debut together in 1916 and
appeared in the famous Irving Berlin "Music Box Revues"
of the 1920s.
Mr. Jarrot had an outgoing and fun personality
and he loved to dance. In 1909, at Rey Jones Cafe, Jarrot and
Louise Greunning introduced two dances that caught on with the
public called the Turkey
Trot and the Grizzly
Bear dance. |
