The three performances that I examine are: George M. Cohan’s production of Little Johnny ii Jones (1904), Eleanor Powell’s “Tribute to Bill Robinson” in Honolulu (1939), and Terry- Toons’ cartoon, “The Dancing Shoes” (1949). These performances share an obvious move away from the use of blackface makeup within a minstrel context, and a move towards the masked enjoyment in “black culture” as it contributes to the development of a uniquely American form of entertainment. In bringing these three disparate performances into dialogue I illuminate the many ways in which American entertainment has been built upon an Africanist aesthetic at the same time it has generally disparaged the black body.

  • Yankee Doodle Dandy, Starring Jimmy Cagney As Playwright George M
    ALL EARS!! The Litchfield Fund Weekly Newsletter “We just don’t hear it on the street, we have our ears spread across all the fields!!!!!” During the first half of the 20th century, Americans received most of their news from newspapers & magazines. Weekly magazines like Life, Time & The Saturday Evening Post might arrive by mail, but a regular stop at the newsstand was part of most people’s lives! During the first week of July, 1942, by request of FDR, all of the U.S. magazines patriotically displayed an American Flag on their cover*. Of course by 1942, the movie industry was churning out patriotic movies, which that year included Yankee Doodle Dandy, starring Jimmy Cagney as playwright George M. Cohan & as his wife Mary, the beautiful redhead Joan Leslie. Yankee Doodle Gal: Miss Leslie, one of our favorite actresses, passed away recently at age 90. She often played the young ingénue in WWII movies & besides the somewhat fictionalized account of Mr. Cohan’s life, appeared in many patriotically inspired movies such as Sergeant York, The Sky’s the Limit, This is the Army, Thank Your Lucky Stars & Hollywood Canteen. After the war, she fought Warner Brothers for better roles, eventually breaking her contract. She moved on to independent productions & early television. She retired to focus on raising her young twin daughters, taking occasional TV roles into the 1990s! Watching Yankee Doodle Dandy on TV was a Fourth of July family tradition growing up! The nearly 30-year old movie was inspiring then & remains so today. The Fourth was always this little boy’s favorite holiday, for the same reason as Mr.
