Description: Could this crisp little dictionary which so typically dubs itself "The Language of Show Biz"--That is, neither "The Lingo of Show Biz" nor "The Langauage of Show Business" - could this feisty little memoir of a sometimes vanishing vernacular turn out to be the Rosetta stone to an otherwise indecipherable hierology - that sacred literature of a given people, in this case the private language of theatre, with special and picturesque reference to the circus, vaudeville, burlesque, carnival and Toby shows?
