Robin Hood

Catherine briefly choreographs dances at the Roxy Theatre in New York. Dorothie Littlefield performs in Europe with various ensembles, and Catherine returns home to Philadelphia to stage ballets at the Robin Hood Dell. Jimmie Littlefield forms an orchestra, while Carl Littlefield begins taking dancing lessons at the Littlefield School at the behest of Mommie. Catherine marries wealthy socialite lawyer Philip Leidy, a great-nephew of renowned naturalist Joseph Leidy, on June 8, 1933. The couple moves to an apartment at the fashionable Barclay Hotel on Rittenhouse Square. Catherine has all the pieces in place—dancers, audience, and funding—to establish her long-dreamed-of professional ballet company.
