This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1909 edition. Excerpt: ...girlies laughed over their lobsters and wine, and the sporting theatrical world of Broadway at first generally treated it as a joke. This was all as it should be, and naturally to be expected, as its appeal was made directly and solely to the Artists of Vaudeville: to those who "deliver the goods," so to speak; to those that the public pays its money to see, to enjoy, and whose services are therefore indispensable in the amusement world. These people are not manufactured by press agents in a night. Their lives are spent in learning how to entertain the public. They are known as the Standard Acts of Vaudeville, and are not to be classed or confused with Salome dancers, coucheewigglers, and other lures that middlemen discover to gull the public. They are what might be called the staple goods of the amusement world. They have learned their business, and have become successful. Oftentimes, after many years of obscurity, wherein they continued to grind out the laugh-essence and heart-interest for the amusement of audiences, who accepted them as a matter of course. They are the people who belong on the stage, and who came there because they had something to give. Usually, they are versatile. They can sing, dance, mimic and act. Yes, they can act. Whenever they appear in socalled legitimate productions, they immediately become famous, and carry all before them, and in a short time their Vaudeville origin is almost forgotten. So, the first members of the White Rats were these standard acts of Vaudeville; the class that gives the legitimate stage its greatest and most versatile stars. Still, they were Vaudevillains then, and the possibility of any organization among them tending towards their uplift and protection was considered foolish...

The Encyclopedia of Vaudeville provides a unique record of what was once America's preeminent form of popular entertainment from the late 1800s through the early 1930s. It includes entries not only on the entertainers themselves, but also on those who worked behind the scenes, the theatres, genres, and historical terms. Entries on individual vaudevillians include biographical information, samplings of routines and, often, commentary by the performers. Many former vaudevillians were interviewed for the book, including Milton Berle, Block and Sully, Kitty Doner, Fifi D'Orsay, Nick Lucas, Ken Murray, Fayard Nicholas, Olga Petrova, Rose Marie, Arthur Tracy, and Rudy Vallee. Where appropriate, entries also include bibliographies. The volume concludes with a guide to vaudeville resources and a general bibliography. Aside from its reference value, with its more than five hundred entries, The Encyclopedia of Vaudeville discusses the careers of the famous and the forgotten. Many of the vaudevillians here, including Jack Benny, George Burns and Gracie Allen, Jimmy Durante, W. C. Fields, Bert Lahr, and Mae West, are familiar names today, thanks to their continuing careers on screen. At the same time, and given equal coverage, are forgotten acts: legendary female impersonators Bert Savoy and Jay Brennan, the vulgar Eva Tanguay with her billing as “The I Don't Care Girl,” male impersonator Kitty Doner, and a host of “freak” acts.

Vaudeville, as it is commonly known today, began as a response to scandalous variety performances appealing mostly to adult, male patrons. When former minstrel performer and balladeer Tony Pastor opened the Fourteenth Street Theatre in New York in 1881, he was guided by a mission to provide family-friendly variety shows in hopes of drawing in that portion of the audience – women and children – otherwise inherently excluded from variety bills prior to 1881. There he perfected a framework for family-oriented amusements of the highest obtainable quality and style. Historical Dictionary of Vaudeville contains a chronology, an introduction, an extensive bibliography, and the dictionary section has more than 1,000 cross-referenced entries on performing artists, managers and agents, theatre facilities, and the terminology central to the history of vaudeville. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about vaudeville.

Colorful and boisterous first nights were the rule in New York theaters of the 1880s. Everyone, it seemed, attended, from the rich and powerful to young people who scraped together just enough to buy a ticket. And no star was more popular than Lillian Russell. At a time when serious plays dominated the stages, Lillian Russell was one of the first to popularize musical theater. With her beauty, voice, and grace, she was the symbol of the new American woman. She used those attributes to attain power, social status and wealth, and then to become one of the earliest champions of women's equality. Her life and career are covered here in detail, with particular emphasis on the way she influenced theater history and popular culture.
