Those are very interesting characters that I'm not familiar with. Early 20th century American operetta is something I'd love to explore in greater depth.
Back to Dutch characters on stage. I'm not familiar with other Dutch acts besides Weber and Fields so your point about perception might be correct.
One thing I find it important to remember is how central German-American immigrant culture was to American popular culture before WWI. After WWI German-Americans tended to anglicize their names and their centrality to American popular culture was basically erased. Yet Americans of German-American heritage remain probably one of the largest demographics of the United States. |
