Overview: There’s a triple threat on Broadway’s 1920s stage and it’s Elizabeth Hines
Elizabeth Hines had a meteoric rise to stardom in the 1920s becoming George M. Cohan’s leading lady in several of his most iconic musical comedies, including his longest-running Broadway production, Little Nellie Kelly.
This fictionalized biography, written by her granddaughter, follows Elizabeth’s trajectory from adolescent ingenue to world-renowned star. During her career, she travels to Africa and Europe performing abroad, and hobnobs with key figures of the 1920s. But the changing social circumstances and its mounting pressures reignite an inner conundrum. As this young, well-bred woman transcends familial and socio-cultural expectations to establish a successful international theatrical career, she maintains her integrity, poise, and regard for others, something often missing in the world of theater. In Leisha Douglas’s Triple Threat: The Story of a 1920s Broadway Star, this last well may be the bigger feat.
