Juggling in Movies
Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942)
[James Cagney, Joan Leslie, Walter Huston, Richard Whorf, Irene Manning]
A musical portrait of composer/singer/dancer George M. Cohan. From his early days as a child-star in his family's vaudeville show up to the time of his comeback at which he received a medal from the president for his special contributions to the US, this is the life story of George M. Cohan, who produced, directed, wrote and starred in his own musical shows for which he composed his famous songs.
At 30:37, Ward Shattuck practices juggling 3 hoops backstage at a
vaudeville theater, behind James Cagney, barely seen for slightly over
one second.
At 33:30, he is seen again with his wife Ethel Shattuck moving their
props on a table backstage as they are about to appear.
At 34:25, The Shattucks are seen passing 6 hoops on stage when they
and their props are immediately knocked down by a collapsing curtain.
The entire movie may be seen here.
