Vaudeville is a book written by Caroline Caffin and published in 1914. The book provides a comprehensive look at the history of vaudeville, a form of variety entertainment that was popular in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book begins by defining vaudeville and tracing its origins back to the variety shows of the 18th and 19th centuries. It then goes on to explore the rise of vaudeville in the United States, including the emergence of the vaudeville circuits and the role of the big-time theaters in shaping the industry. Throughout the book, Caffin provides detailed descriptions of the various acts that were commonly featured in vaudeville shows, including comedy sketches, musical performances, acrobatics, and animal acts. She also discusses the challenges faced by performers, including the intense competition for bookings and the pressure to constantly come up with new and innovative material. In addition to providing a historical overview of vaudeville, the book also includes a number of photographs and illustrations that help to bring the world of vaudeville to life. Overall, Vaudeville is a fascinating look at a form of entertainment that played a significant role in shaping American popular culture in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
