The Rounders: A Vaudeville In Three Acts is a play written by Harry Bache Smith and first published in 1899. The play is set in New York City and follows the misadventures of two down-on-their-luck gamblers, Charlie and Jim, as they try to make a living by hustling at various card games. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a group of wealthy socialites, a crooked politician, and a beautiful young woman who catches Charlie's eye.As the play unfolds, Charlie and Jim's schemes become increasingly elaborate and dangerous, leading to a series of humorous and suspenseful situations. Despite their many setbacks, the two men remain determined to hit it big and escape their life of poverty.The Rounders is a classic example of vaudeville theater, a popular form of entertainment in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The play features a mix of comedy, drama, and music, with catchy songs and lively dance numbers interspersed throughout the action.Overall, The Rounders is a fun and entertaining read that offers a glimpse into a bygone era of American theater.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
