Vaudeville performer Aida Overton Walker in 1907! She was billed/known as "The Queen of the Cakewalk", and was married to fellow #vaudeville performer #GeorgeWalker. She was a solo dancer and choreographer for vaudeville shows, and performed with her husband from time to time with his dancing partner #BertWilliams. Walker became nationally known in 1900 for a breakout performance in "Miss Hannah from Savannah" in the show #SonsofHam. For the next 10 years Aida was known for her work in musical theater. She along with her husband, and Williams produced #Broadway shows; In Dahomey in 1902, Abyssinia in 1906, and Bandana Land in 1908 to name a few! Walker's popularity continued to grow after her husband's death in 1911. Walker became the leader of her own vaudeville company after joining #SmartSet, which was well received. She's perhaps best known for her performance of the "Salamone" dance in 1912 at #hammerstein's Victoria Theatre. We'll make sure to post more info on this beauty soon! #aidaovertonwalker #1900s #oldhollywood
