. Join author Daniel Henderson and learn the true story of two Iowa coal miners, named Carl and Earl Pearson, who had a dream. They came out of their father’s coal mines near Clarinda, Iowa and became famous vaudeville stars in the 1920s. Their acrobatic dance routine took them to the top of Broadway entertainment at the Palace Theatre. Copies of Henderson’s book, Rhythm & Pep: The Vaudeville Career of the Pearson Brothers, will be for sale by the author.
