Reviews

"Exuberant... Trav S.D. makes grand claims for vaudeville... his well researched excursions into vaudeville's prehistory, and his arguments for its influential role in American culture, makes his book something more than a fast-moving tour of popular entertainment and long forgotten stars... By turns shrewd and amusing." - The New York Times."
