EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the legendary Four Cohans, an iconic vaudeville act that brought joy and entertainment to audiences in the Jazz Age of the 1920s. At the heart of the act was George M. Cohan (1878-1942), an American triple threat who excelled as a lyricist, composer, performer, producer, director, and actor. Flanking him are his beloved family members: his sister, Josie Cohan, his father, Jeremiah Cohan, and his mother, Nellie Cohan. The Cohans' vaudeville act, which began in the late 1890s, was a theatrical sensation that combined music, comedy, and dance. Their energetic performances showcased their exceptional talents and charisma, making them a must-see attraction in the world of variety and Broadway. The family's chemistry and camaraderie on stage created an unforgettable experience for audiences, leaving them in awe of their artistry. George M. Cohan's contributions to American entertainment extend far beyond the vaudeville stage. He is best known for penning the classic songs "Give My Regards to Broadway," "Yankee Doodle Dandy," and "Over There," which continue to resonate with audiences today. His influence on the American musical theater and comedy is immeasurable, making him a true pioneer in the entertainment industry. As the 1920s progressed, the Four Cohans continued to captivate audiences with their performances. This photograph, taken in 1928, serves as a testament to their enduring legacy and the indelible impact they left on the world of entertainment. Their timeless artistry continues to inspire generations, making them an essential part of American cultural history.
