Vaudeville History Ohio

http://online.sfsu.edu/~hl/v.html

Extractions: T he era from 1903 to 1911 was a time without radio, without television, and without video stores. Phonograph records, both disc and cylinder types, were just beginning to be developed for primitive, non-electric gramophones and graphophones. Also, short five- and ten-minute silent moving pictures were just beginning to be available as extra novelty features during magic lantern shows. Thus, the primary form of entertainment in small-town America was live entertainment, such as home talent shows, lecturers, travelling vaudeville shows, minstrels, musicals, and dramas. To accomodate this need many towns established a theatre and community center, often called an "opera house." Chicago Junction, Ohio (later renamed Willard) was no exception, and the variety of live entertainment provided by the "Chicago Opera House" was unbelievable by late twentieth-century standards for a town with a population of 3000. The original Chicago Opera House (known later as Hoffman House or Maple Opera House) contained 440 removable seats and offered some form of activity almost every night, including dances, dance classes, concerts, banquets, wrestling, and illustrated lectures. It was truly Willard's "window to the world." When I found that my great-grandfather, Fred Henry Layer, had managed the Chicago Opera House, I sought every source of information that I could about his reign from approximately July 1903 to December 1911. Then one summer I compiled this information into three cross-correlated lists that I published in a book form with family photographs and original newspaper clippings of many events. The book is now on deposit at the Willard Public Library. I am now making these lists available here on the Net.

Extractions: Much of vaudeville's "clean" humor relied on ethnic stereotypes that would inspire public outrage today. The most popular targets were were Germans (called "Dutch" acts), Jews, Blacks, Italians and the Irish, but most anyone was fair game – even rich WASPs. The various ethnic groups in urban audiences loved to laugh at what they perceived to be each other's foibles. Joe Laurie Jr.'s affectionate book

TalentMatch - An Online Entertainment Community, Press Kit
Before there was radio, television or movies, there was entertainment in the US Therewere vaudeville circuits from the country to New Yorks Palace theatre.
http://www.talentmatch.com/press/presskit.asp

Extractions: Its hard to pinpoint the first entertainer who walked onto a vaudeville stage - or even the location of the stage, for that matter. But one thing is certain. Whoever that entertainer might have been, the motivation to walk on that stage was no different than it is for the millions of artists who search for an audience today. The desire for artists to share their talents has always existed - only the venues for exposure and discovery have changed. Before there was radio, television or movies, there was vaudeville. It got its start in Europe; but found its home in the United States. By 1875 vaudeville was the most popular form of entertainment in the U.S. There were vaudeville circuits from what was considered the "Wild West" all the way across the country to New Yorks Palace Theatre. Aspiring artists would walk on to candle-lit stages to sing and dance or juggle or tell jokes, perform mime or conduct magic. It was the venue that millions of aspiring artists had been searching for - an outlet and release for their talent. It offered the variety and freshness that American audiences wanted. At its height in 1920, more than 20 million Americans saw vaudeville acts every day - in virtually every city and town in the nation. Vaudeville theatres peppered city streets like coffee stands do today.

The History Of Jim Crow
of American popular culture after 1900, especially manifested in minstrel shows,the vaudeville theatre, songs and music, film and radio, and commercial
http://www.jimcrowhistory.org/resources/lessonplans/hs_es_popular_culture.htm

Extractions: Ronald L. F. Davis, Ph. D. The onset of Jim Crow laws and customs rested upon the racist characterization of black people as culturally, personally, and biologically inferior. This image functioned as the racial bedrock of American popular culture after 1900, especially manifested in minstrel shows, the vaudeville theatre, songs and music, film and radio, and commercial advertising. So pervasive was the racial demeaning of black people, and so accepted was it by white Americans throughout the nation, that blackness became synonymous with silliness, deprivation, and ignorance. Most white Americans believed that all Africans and their descendants were racially inferior to whites, and that their common inferiority tied them together wherever they might live in the modern world. In America, black people were portrayed as inferior almost from the time of their enslavement in the colonies in the 1620s. This racial characterization enabled white masters to justify slavery as something positive. Using racial stereotypes to justify the enslavement of blacks was especially pronounced after 1830 as white Southerners defended slavery against attacks by northern abolitionists. This historic view of blacks became deeply embedded in American popular culture with the emergence of the minstrel show in the 1840s. By 1900, the image of silly and exaggerated black men and women in comic routines was the mainstay of musical acts, songs, and skits that dominated the theatrical scene in America well into the twentieth century. (For further discussion of the relationship of Jim Crow and minstrel shows, see

http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/bobhope/vaude.html

Extractions: B ob Hope's first tours in vaudeville were as half of a two-man dancing team. The act appeared in "small time" vaudeville houses where ticket prices were as low as ten cents, and performances were "continuous," with as many as six shows each day. Bob Hope, like most vaudeville performers, gained his professional training in these small time theaters. W ithin five years of his start in vaudeville Bob Hope was in the "big time," playing the expensive houses where the most popular acts played. In big time vaudeville there were only two shows performed each day the theaters were called "two-a-days" and tickets cost as much as $2.00 each. The pinnacle of the big time was New York City's Palace Theatre, where every vaudevillian aspired to perform. Bob Hope played the Palace in 1931 and in 1932. A ll vaudeville comedy acts were dependent, in some part, on stock materials for inspiration. This tradition has continued in variety comedy entertainment in all of its forms, from stage to television, drawing upon what theater historian Brooks McNamara calls, "a shared body of traditional stock material." The situation comedies popular on television today are built from many of the same raw materials that shaped medicine and minstrel shows in the early nineteenth- century as well as shaping vaudeville.
