Book Reviews of Blue Vaudeville: Sex, Morals and the Mass Marketing of Amusement, 1895-1915
Book Review: "Blue Vaudeville" fromn Amazon
Summary: 4 Stars
Andrew's book is a scholarly look at the social trends and stars of the vaudeville times in the US(1890-1930). It is well-researched and written and, with some interesting vignettes from the lives of the now-forgotten celebrity stage stars in pre-movies times. One chapter in "Blue Vaudeville" deals with the Canadian-born, cyclonic first rock-star Eva Tanguay. Her career flourished from about 1898-1928 and reputedly she was the one who "made Vaudeville famous". I am looking foreward to the coming publishing of his new book on the "I Don't Care Girl" Eva Tanguay.
Ordering this book was relatively simple and delivery from Amazon, a fast week to Canada by expedited postage.
