- Whitman_Sisters abstract "Mabel (May) (cca.1880-1942), Essie (1882-1963), Alberta (Albert) (?-1964), and Alice (?-1969) Whitman, known as the Whitman Sisters were African-American women stars of Black Vaudeville. Despite their forty years of popularity, from the late 1890s to the late 1930, information about them disappeared. They left no film, nor sheet music, and close to none records. Their full role was uncovered by the efforts of African American Theater Studies scholar Nadine George-Graves, who analyzed a wealth of local and regional publications.At one time their acted as the Danzette Sisters (or \"Daznette Sisters\" by other sources )George-Graves writes The Whitman Sisters were the highest paying act in the Vaudeville circuit. They were a singing and dancing act. The sisters started performing for their church. Later, the two older sisters (Alberta and Essie) were invited to perform in New York by George Walker but their father and manager said no so they stayed to finish their education. The sisters continued performing in the south. Eventually they were able to perform for King George V. The sisters started a company called The Whitman Sisters’ New Orleans Troubadours, initially as a trio (Alberta, Mabel and Essie; Alice joined them in 1909). They added other acts such as Bill “Bojangles” Robinson. Many other actors started or advanced their careers with Whitman Sisters' company. People of all races enjoyed their show. Even after Vaudeville was no longer in its prime, they continued to perform in theaters and churches around the nation and were admired by all types of audience members.".
