War, comedy, and the power of a song: a frontline entertainer’s intimate memoir.

This memoir follows Elsie Janis as she travels from America to Europe during the First World War, bringing song and cheer to soldiers, patients, and civilians alike. Drawing on personal shows, hospital visits, and life on the road, the book reveals the rhythms, risks, and rewards of performing for those at the front and upon their return home.

A front-row view of wartime entertainment, from train trips and shipboard spectacles to grand nights in Paris and France’s towns.
The thrill and strain of performing for thousands, including wounded heroes and cheering crowds.
Moments of camaraderie, danger, and humor that shaped a performer’s life on the road in wartime.
Personal reflections on home, family, and the meaning of sacrifice during the war years.

Ideal for readers who love memoirs by performers, wartime diaries, and true accounts of morale-boosting shows that traveled to the front.
