I wanted to become an Andrews sister. My wish was that they could become a quartet and I'd be the fourth singer. - June Allyson, actress
The vaudeville era of the early 20th century dominated American entertainment with an endless array of specialty acts. Thousands of performers emerged from familiar American lives to test their novel talents with a voracious public in search of the next fad. Violin concertos were played on bicycle pumps, and contortionists defied gravity and the limits of human anatomy. Animal acts of every variety sought to up the ante in bringing the exotic to the American stage. One thread held most of these oddities together. Whatever the talent, it was virtually obligatory in most cases that both humans and animals incorporate singing and dancing into the act. This was particularly true for women regardless of the talent level or genre of specialty.
