Opis

Vaudeville - The Struggle Continues is the third in the sequel, starting with Royal Aq. - Queen of Music Halls and then Music Hall - The Saga Goes On, continues to chronicle the hilarious exploits of two Vaudeville artistes. Jack Mitchell and Theo Houston, both out of New York City accompany an impresario back to England to perform in various London Music Halls. They do so in the erroneous belief that Music Hall in England is the same as Vaudeville in America. What they do not understand is that Vaudeville in America is not the same as Music Hall in England. And what in England might be considered Burlesque would, in America, be termed Vaudeville What they have come to understand are the various characters and influences which make up Music Hall acts or turns. Including those based on the operas of Richard Wagner, such as Das Rheingold, Die Feen, Die Valkure or even Parsifal producing disrespectful parody or pantomime and embarrassing moments even in the well-appointed red plush Music Halls As with other books by Mr Lees, comes with its own extensive index and hand-drawn etchings by the author."
