EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the charisma and energy of George M. Cohan, an American icon in the world of entertainment, in the twilight of his illustrious career. Taken in 1928, the photograph presents Cohan, aged in his late sixties, with an air of confidence and vitality that belied his years. A versatile performer, Cohan was a celebrated actor, singer, dancer, playwright, composer, lyricist, and producer, who left an indelible mark on the American stage. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1878, Cohan's career began in the late 1890s as a vaudeville performer. He quickly rose to fame for his energetic dance routines and his ability to write, perform, and produce his own shows. By the early 1900s, Cohan had become a fixture on Broadway, where he created some of his most memorable works, including "Little Johnny Jones," "The Tavern," and "George Washington, Jr." Cohan's influence extended beyond the stage, as he also appeared in films and recorded records. His signature songs, such as "Give My Regards to Broadway" and "Yankee Doodle Dandy," remain popular to this day. In the 1920s, Cohan continued to entertain audiences with his live shows, which often incorporated elements of jazz and comedy. This photograph, taken during the height of the Jazz Age, captures the essence of a man who embodied the spirit of American entertainment in the 20th century. With his infectious energy and boundless talent, George M. Cohan remains an enduring symbol of the power of the stage and the enduring appeal of live performance.
