Transatlantic Stage Stars in Vaudeville and Variety [electronic resource] : Celebrity Turns /
Woods, L.author.
This book shows eminent actors performing under stringent conditions in vaudeville. It was a strange notion in 1900 that leading lights of the legitimate stage would ever join a bill of 'turns', with everything from song-and-dance to criminals regaling crowds with their exploits. It chronicles renowned actors showing rough fare in rough times.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
