Gertrude Hoffman (1885–1966) was an early 20th-century vaudeville dancer and choreographer.
==Early life==
Catherine “Kitty” Gertrude Hay was born in San Francisco on the 7th of May, 1885, the daughter of John and Catherine (née Brogan) Hay.〔U.S. Passport Applications (Gertrude Hoffmann) - December 5, 1916- May 15, 1921〕〔1900 US Census records〕 Her father, who was born in Bangor, Maine, in 1843, came to California sometime before 1873. Catherine Brogan was born in Ireland around 1847 and came to America in the early 1860s. John and Catherine Hay moved to Portland, Oregon, where John died in 1914. Catherine Brogan Hay died in 1926 at the Long Island summer house of her daughter, Gertrude.〔〔The New York Times – May 17, 1903〕〔Women vaudeville stars: eighty biographical profiles -2006- by Almond Fields〕 Gertrude received her early education at a San Francisco area Catholic convent.〔Where She Danced: The Birth of American Art-Dance - 1984 - By Elizabeth Kendall〕
She had been performing on stage for some time as Kitty Hayes before catching the eye of actress Florence Roberts playing a French dancer in Jules Massenet’s five-act opera Sapho at San Francisco’s Alcazar Theatre.〔The Oakland Tribune – December 21, 1919〕 Not long after Robert's encouragement to pursue a career in dance, Gertrude signed on at the age of sixteen as a dancer with the vaudeville comedy team of Matthews and Bulger and began a tour that would eventually take her to New York City and the Paradise Roof Garden atop Oscar Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre.〔〔〔Vaudeville, Old and New - 1955 - By Frank Cullen, Florence Hackman, Donald McNeilly〕
