A revolution in three acts : the radical vaudeville of Bert Williams, Eva Tanguay, and Julian Eltinge / David Hajdu and John Carey. by Hajdu, David, author.

Eva Tanguay--an entertainer with the signature song "I Don't Care" who flouted the rules of propriety to redefine womanhood for the modern age. Julian Eltinge--a female impersonator who entranced and unnerved audiences by embodying the feminine ideal Tanguay rejected. At the turn of the twentieth century, they became three of the most provocative and popular performers in vaudeville, the form in which American mass entertainment first took shape. A Revolution in Three Acts explores how these vaudeville stars defined the standards of their time to change how their audience thought about what it meant to be American, to be Black, to be a woman or a man. The writer David Hajdu and the artist John Carey collaborate in this work of graphic nonfiction, crafting powerful portrayals of Willams, Tanguay, and Eltinge to show how they transformed American culture. Hand-drawn images give vivid visual form to the lives and work of the book's subjects and their world. The book is at once a deft telling of three intricately entwined stories, a lush evocation of a performance millieu with unabashed entertainment value, and an eye-opening account of a key moment in parallels to present-day questions of race, gender, and sexual identity."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 792.7028 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList
