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 tocriminals regaling crowds with their exploits. It chronicles renowned actors showing rough fare in rough times.
