Donahue, Jack

Donahue, Jack (1892–1930), dancer. A native of Charlestown, Massachusetts, the supple, eccentric hoofer had begun making a name for himself in vaudeville before his Broadway debut in 1919 in Angel Face. His best‐known appearances came when he played opposite Marilyn Miller in Sunny (1925) and in Rosalie (1928) and starred in Sons o'Guns (1929), for which he was co‐librettist.
