The Three Winter Sisters from Hollis, New York were an acrobatic and tumbling act performing in vaudeville shows in the 1930s and 1940s. They performed with Jimmy Durante, the Ink Spots, Edith Piaf at her premiere US appearance at the Rialto Theatre in New York City, and other theatrical acts. The sisters were Effie, Mae, and Dorothy Winter. Their father, Everett H. Winter, a physician, originally from Maine, died of cancer when the girls were very young and they went into performing to earn money. They traveled extensively all over the United States, Europe and South America performing with some of the greatest entertainers of the era. They entertained US armed forces troops while traveling with Bob Hope's USO tour. They were also trained to be trick pony riders and performed in Billy Rose's Broadway production of Jumbo. In this performance they are accompanied by the Glenn Miller Modernaires, Andy Mayo and Reg Kehoe and His Marimba Queens
