Description
The remarkable Cohan family (The Four Cohans) is dramatized in this film. Jimmy Cagney (1899-1986) plays George M. Cohan (1878-1942), the father of the American musical comedy. His achievements in the theater have never been equaled, nor will ever be. Cohan was a dancer, singer, composer, lyricist, playwright, director and producer. He made his first appearance in vaudeville as an infant and began to dance after taking his first baby steps.
Cagney won his only Oscar for his dynamic portrayal of Cohan in "Dandy." It would be hard to imagine any other performer in the role. This shot was taken, in Tucson, Arizona, with a camera and lens that captured panoramic, 180 degrees views. It is among my favorites in my public domain collection of historic photographs. c.1890-2008
