Description
361 pages. Index. Extensively illustrated in black and white with reproductions of archival photos, etc. "By focusing on what happened onstage, backstage, and in the audience, Robert Toll reveals much about ordinary Americans of that day. Filled with spell-binding anecdotes about the great names of show business, from Houdini to Al Jolson, from Buffalo Bill Cody to Fanny Brice. Book clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Average wear to dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart cover. Undated but appears to be circa 1970. A quality copy of this enjoyable and informative reference. Book
