Bob Baker met legendary tap dancer Bill Robinson and Shirley Temple working as an extra on a couple of the Fox movies and did an ice skating puppet in a store window in POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL. He maintained a friendship with the Robinson family after that, especially Mrs. Robinson. In the late 1930s Bob introduced this segment into his show. Mrs. Robinson later saw it and encouraged Bob to always keep it in his repertoire.
fantastic!
