Description
by Daniel L. Henderson (Author)
Rhythm & Pep is a true story of two Iowa coal miners who had a dream. The crafted a vaudeville acrobatic dance routine that took them out of the coal mines and into big-time vaudeville in the 1920s. It is an engaging, both sad and victorious story that includes diligence, determination, love, hard work, and broken promises.
Set in the world of America's first mass entertainment industry, you will discover the talent of Earl and Carl Pearson, along with the partner, Cleo Newport, who danced their way to success in a highly competitive arena of entertainment. They reached the top just as the vaudeville industry was collapsing and giving way to radio and movies. You will learn much about the entertainment world of the early 20th century into the Great Depression and beyond.
"The true historical cultural adventurer will explore further, and be rewarded by discovering "Rhythm & Pep" vaudevillians, The Pearson Brothers. In Dan Henderson's biographical gem, Rhythm & Pep: The Vaudeville Career of the Pearson Brothers, the sounds of tapping feet, peppy music, and responsive applause and laughter become internal underscoring as the career of these celebrated artists comes to vibrant life. Filled with a bounty of images, newspaper clippings, and other documents, this immersive journey will stimulate the imagination about this bygone era." John Busbee, The Culture Buzz
"Rhythm and Pep is a wonderful window into the rise and fall of a minor big-time act, from the mines...to the moon. For some beguiling but unknowable reason, the Midwest was particularly generative of top vaudeville performers. Dan Henderson's careful chronicle of the Pearson Brothers' career as acrobatic dancers doesn't miss a step and will be useful to show biz lovers and Iowa history buffs alike."
