Talk:The Gumm Sisters
This is my article of The Gumm Sisters
[edit]The Gumm Sisters, later known as the Garland Sisters, were a vaudeville trio and musical group consisting of three sisters: Frances Ethel Gumm, Mary Jane Gumm, and Dorothy Virginia Gumm.
Frances, the youngest sister, would later become widely known as Judy Garland, a legendary actress and singer. The sisters began their career in vaudeville, a form of variety entertainment popular in the early 20th century. They performed songs, dances, and skits on stage.
Their mother, Ethel Gumm, served as their manager and guided their early careers. In the late 1920s, the family relocated to California, where the sisters continued their performances in vaudeville and eventually transitioned to the emerging medium of motion pictures.
In the early 1930s, the Gumm Sisters changed their stage name to the Garland Sisters. However, as their careers progressed, it became clear that Frances (Judy) had exceptional talent and stood out from her sisters. She eventually embarked on a successful solo career under the name Judy Garland, becoming one of the most iconic entertainers of the 20th century.
While the Garland Sisters' collective career was relatively short-lived, their early years in vaudeville laid the foundation for Judy Garland's remarkable journey as a performer. Jorge906 (talk) 15:46, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
Filmography
[edit]I'm thinking of merging all the Gumm Sisters' short films that have seperate articles on Wikipedia into the Gumm Sisters article. The shorts are The Big Revue (1929), A Holiday in Storyland (1929), The Wedding of Jack and Jill (1930), Bubbles (1930) and La Fiesta de Santa Barbara (1935). There are two short films that have their own article. Jorge906 (talk) 18:56, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
