Framed Print of John W. Bubbles, American Tap Dancer and Actor
Bubbles as Sportin Life from Porgy and Bess. John William Sublett (February 19, 1902 - May 18, 1986), AKA John W. Bubbles, was an American tap dancer, vaudevillian, movie actor, and television performer. He appeared in Hollywood films of the late 1930s and 1940s and gave lessons in tap dancing to Fred Astaire, who considered Sublett the finest tap dancer of his generation. Sublett's taps were made to the traditional eight-bar phrase, but allowed for more rhythmic freedom. He blended the improvisational style of jazz music with the traditional techniques of tap to create a unique style and sound.
