Early Life[edit]
Career[edit]
Adele had her first stage debut in Sonja Henie's revue Norwegian Figure Skater from the late 1930s. She 'impressed'[4] the audience with a backflip, high-flying split jumps, acrobatic feats, and Arabian cartwheels throughout this performance. Prior to being 15 years old, Adele had already been in "Murder In The Red Barn," a production from St. Louis, and skated at the International Casino on 42nd Street in Times Square, New York.
Adele performed in the Terrace Room of the Hotel New Yorker in 1942, accompanied by world-famous American jazz clarinettist Benny Goodman. Inge appeared in and performed in select cities across the country as part of the Ice Capades Tour. Inge was invited to perform in the Century Room of the Adolphus Hotel in 1943. Adele was the star of the Ice Show at the Netherland Plaza Hotel in Cincinnati from 1944 to 1945.
Inge began performing in Great Britain, where she appeared in the world-renowned "Stars On Ice" at the Stoll Theatre alongside Bronze Medalist British Figure Skater, Daphne Walker, and The Three Rookies. Adele was starring in the "Calender Caspers" in the Boulevard Room of Chicago's Conrad Hilton Hotel by 1952. Adele was the star of "Spice And Ice" on Australia's Tivoli Circuit in 1958.[5]
