The Gumm Sisters, later also known as The Garland Sisters, were an American vaudeville group composed of three sisters, Frances, Dorothy Virginia, and Mary Jane Gumm. Active from 1924 to 1935, they gained recognition for their vocal harmonies, energetic performances, and appearances in short films. The group's early career, shaped by their parents’ involvement in vaudeville, helped lay the foundation for Judy Garland’s later success.
