Photographic material depicts Margaret Davidson with the Winnipeg Kiddies, 1928-1929 and 1933; with Al Weber and the Merry Makers; with Doc MacDonald and with other variety and vaudeville troupes.Provenance :Biographie/Histoire administrative :Davidson, Margaret, 1918- : Margaret Davidson, singer and dancer, was born in Winnipeg and began her stage career as a child, singing with her sister Jeannie as the Davidson Twins. In 1928, billed as the Harmony Singers de Luxe, the Davidson Twins joined a vaudeville troupe composed of child performers, the "Winnipeg Kiddies". They toured the western provinces and Alaska, 1928-1929, and were also part of a second Winnipeg Kiddies troupe, featuring Jimmy Fisher, "Canada's cleverist boy comedian", and "Baby Joyce", that toured Manitoba and Saskatchewan, 1933-1934.
In the fall of 1933, Margaret Davidson joined Lillian Strachan's Sunshine Girls, a group of chorus dancers who toured with Al Weber and his Merrymakers and a Winnipeg band under Doc Macdonald. Initially based in Winnipeg and Edmonton, the troupe moved to Montreal, 1936-1937, where the dancers were billed as Lillian and her Vienna Girls or the Streamline Girls, and toured Quebec and the Maritimes in 1938. Davidson retired from the stage during the nineteen-forties to raise a family. She was later involved in nursery school work and children's summer camps.Information additionnelle :Note générale :Acquired in 1982 from Margaret Russell of Dorval, Que._Vedette-matière :- Autographs - Canada, 1933-1934 Hunt's Savarin Restaurant (Toronto, Ont.), [between 1934 and 1939]
