| In the musical revue Tintypes, the period
of 1890 to the United States' entry into WWI in 1917 is represented
by five figures of the period, two representational and three real-life
characters: a Chaplinesque Russian immigrant; Susannah, a first generation
free-born African American; Flo Ziegfield's luscious wife and main
attraction, Anna Held; outspoken Socialist leader Emma Goldman; and
the great Teddy Roosevelt. In an evening filled with 47 songs of the
era, these five characters comment on everything noteworthy about
the period, including immigration, inventions, social injustice, and
vaudeville. Most every song is instantly recognizable; "Yankee
Doodle Dandy," "Meet Me in St. Louis," "Nobody,"
and "Bill Bailey" to name just a few.
