Description
"It was a strange notion in 1900, that leading lights of the legitimate stage would ever join a bill of "turns" or short acts, everything from, and in between, song-and-dance, trained animals, blackface, aerialists, criminals regaling crowds with their exploits, eating fire. Transatlantic Stage Stars in Vaudeville and Variety shows renowned actors showing rough fare in rough times. Celebrity will be seen changing, always, even to twisting its foremost exemplars in the wind."--Publisher's website.
