Although it has been stated that Whaley left Ducks Deluxe to rejoin Help Yourself, in December 1972 both bands performed at the Christmas at the Patti concert, but Whaley was in neither band. In 1973, Help Yourself proposed touring with Roger Ruskin Spear, the Flying Aces and Vivian "Spiv" Morris, in a vaudeville show called "Happy Days", which was to be held in a circus tent. They started recording material for this in January, but their bassist Paul Burton was unhappy with the proposed theatrical tour, so he left.

Williams, who was probably a drummer boy, soon became popular in the service providing entertainment that helped alleviate the daily boredom of camp life. He first took to the stage on November 14, 1864, during the Union Army’s occupation of Huntsville, Alabama with J. B. Ashton’s Dramatic Company playing Carney in "The Pirate Legacy: The Wrecker’s Fate" by Charles H. Saunders. Three years after the war’s end, Williams joined Tony Pastor’s vaudeville show where he would remain throughout his twenties. With Pastor he became popular as a Dutch-style comedian performing skits and singing songs in a comedic German accent.

Morris also struggled in the first-class matches, making 1,302 runs at 38.09 with only one century, which did not come until almost four months had elapsed on tour, against the Gentlemen of England. Morris placed third in the aggregates but only ranked sixth in the averages. He made many starts, with 11 fifties, but was only able to capitalise and reached triple figures only once. Speculation linked his difficulties on the field to his personal relationships: during the tour Morris had fallen in love with English showgirl Valerie Hudson; he spotted her when she was performing in the Crazy Gang vaudeville show at London's Victoria Palace.

The Internal Revenue Service investigated the team in 1994 and 1995, and nearly threatened to put a tax lien on the franchise for $750,000 in back taxes. The situation led longtime NHL broadcaster and writer Stan Fischler to call the Lightning a "skating vaudeville show." Even in their first playoff season, the team was awash in red ink and Kokusai Green was looking to sell the team; however its asking price of $230 million for the team and the lease with the Ice Palace deterred buyers. A possible sale was further hampered by the team's murky ownership structure; many team officials (including Crisp) did not know who really owned the team.

The filmdancers and performers struggle to make money from town to town, playing to minimal crowds, while the ageing manager of the company falls in love with a newcomer, to the chagrin of his faithful mistress Melina Amour, played by Fellini's real-life wife, Giulietta Masina. The movie begins with a sold-out vaudeville show in a small Italian town. A young woman, Liliana, played by Carla Del Poggio, sits in the appreciate crowd, enraptured by the performers. That evening, as the troupe boards a train, with two of the performers forced to sit in the train toilet to evade paying the fare, the young woman also boards the train.

Mickey and Minnie meet in The Nifty Nineties Set in the springtime, sometime in the 1890s, Mickey and Minnie Mouse happen to meet each other in a public park one day. Minnie attracts Mickey by intentionally dropping her handkerchief so Mickey will return it to her. They attend a vaudeville show where they first see a slideshow presentation called "Father, Dear, Father", which features the song "Come Home, Father" by Henry Clay Work. In the show, a daughter attempts to get her father to leave a local tavern because he had not come right home from work as promised and got drunk at the tavern.

Their daughter, Sandra, declined becoming a regular member of the cast, although she appeared in a few episodes as a classmate of Ronnie. In one episode, Ronnie's drama class puts on a vaudeville show to raise funds for the school. Gracie hosts the show while Ronnie and Sandy deliver an impersonation of their famous parents along with one of their classic routines. Since Ronnie played himself, Gracie closed the segment with a wisecrack: "The boy was produced by Burns and Allen." Starting in the fall of 1955, Burns and Allen often reappeared after the end of the episode, before a curtain decorated with the names and locations of the various theaters where they headlined in their vaudeville days.

In 1923, Dressler received a small part in a revue at the Winter Garden Theatre, titled The Dancing Girl, but was not offered any work after the show closed. In 1925, she was able to perform as part of the cast of a vaudeville show which went on a five-week tour, but still could not find any work back in New York City. The following year, she made a final appearance on Broadway as part of an Old Timers' bill at the Palace Theatre. Early in 1930, Dressler joined Edward Everett Horton's theater troupe in Los Angeles to play a princess in Ferenc Molnár's The Swan, but after one week, she quit the troupe.

The animators hands being seen in a poorly edited sequence in the Billiards scene Fields was an expert juggler. As with his early films, Pool Sharks was intended to highlight a pool ball juggling act that featured in the actor's vaudeville show. In the final film, however, there is only a brief shot of Fields juggling several billiard balls, as his act was largely replaced with several poorly edited stop motion sequences depicting impossible shots, such as the balls jumping off the table and re-racking themselves on the wall. Though innovative for the time, they are poorly animated, with obvious edits, and the animator's hand can actually be seen moving the balls along in one of the frames.

Akabane Commercial High School, the school Tatsuya Nōmi graduated from Tatsuya Nōmi was born in Tokyo on 13 August 1969,『日本タレント名鑑2000』VIPタイムズ社、2000年、328頁。 and he was a graduate of Akabane Commercial High School. In 1989, he joined the Tokyo Vaudeville Show, and his drama debut was in Dōkyūsei wa Shichihenge. In tokusatsu, he played Tengensei Daigo/ShishiRanger in Gosei Sentai Dairanger, which aired from to , and he also appeared in episodes 42 and 51 of Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger, episode 37 of GoGo Sentai Boukenger, and episode 20 of Moero!! Robocon. His acting career also included the movie Izo and the taiga dramas Mōri Motonari and Tenchijin.

Berthe would become an accomplished silversmith herself, a rarity in the day for a woman. Berthe was the daughter of circus performers with Ringling Brothers. A trapeze artist and bareback horse rider for three years in the circus, she met Frank Schofield while performing a vaudeville show at the Maryland Theater in Baltimore. 1915 would bring the purchase of the tools and dies of long time Baltimore silversmiths JENKINS & JENKINS, which dated back to 1871. Heer-Schofield would start using the 1871 as the founding date of the company, which was two years before Frank Schofield was born. By 1922 Herr-Schofield was located at 308-10 St. Paul St. in Baltimore. A 1927 catalog of flatware patterns and hollowware was produced.

In a Winter Garden is Lieberson's most successful composition. It is a "description in sound of a vaudeville show" in four movements starting with "Backstage," a fugue; "The Musical Clown," a theme with variation; "The Dancing Prima Ballerina," a rondo; and "The Juggler," a scherzo. A complete performance runs about 25 minutes and is scored for 4 flutes, 3 oboes, 3 clarinets, 3 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, 1 tuba, timpani, celesta, 2 harps, piano and a full complement of strings including violin I, violin II, viola, cello, and bass. The work was originally commissioned in 1932 by Patricia Gordon, co- founder of the Chicago-based cosmetic company, Princess Pat and was awarded first place at the 1934 Hollywood Bowl composers' competition.

Osser became an arranger/conductor, first for Mercury Records, where he backed such vocalists as Patti Page, Vic Damone, and Georgia Gibbs, and later for Columbia Records, where he backed Doris Day, Jerry Vale, Johnny Mathis and Jill Corey, among others. On television he was musical director for the 1949 series Blind Date (also titled Your Big Moment), conductor for the 1953 series The Vaudeville Show, and orchestrator and conductor for the 1957 production of Pinocchio. In 1959 he was the Orchestra leader for the series Music for a Summer Night, which was repeated the following year as Music for a Spring Night. Osser was the conductor and provided the arrangements for the 1963 Sergio Franchi RCA Victor Red Seal album, Broadway, I Love You!.

Chappelle also opened the Excelsior Hall in Jacksonville, the first black-owned theater in the South, which reportedly seated 500 people. In 1899, he closed the theater and moved to Tampa, where he and the African-American entrepreneur R. S. Donaldson opened a new vaudeville house, the Buckingham, in the Fort Brooke neighborhood, soon followed by a second theatre, the Mascotte. Frank Dumont, writer of the original show, A Rabbit's Foot The success of their shows at the Buckingham and Mascotte theatres led Chappelle and Donaldson to announce their intention, in early 1900, to establish a traveling vaudeville show. Chappelle commissioned Frank Dumont (1848–1919), of the Eleventh Street Theater in Philadelphia, to write a show for the new company.

Cover of theatre programme, about 1908 The success of their shows at the Buckingham and Mascotte theatres in Tampa led Chappelle and Donaldson to announce their intention, in early 1900, to establish a traveling vaudeville show. Chappelle commissioned Frank Dumont of the Eleventh Street Theater in Philadelphia to write a show for the new company. In May 1900, Chappelle and Donaldson advertised for "60 Colored Performers.... Only those with reputation, male, female and juvenile of every description, Novelty Acts, Headliners, etc., for our new play 'A Rabbit's Foot'.... We will travel in our own train of hotel cars, and will exhibit under canvas...". In summer 1900, Chappelle decided to put the show into theatres rather than under tents, first in Paterson, New Jersey, and then in Brooklyn, New York.

Allentown, Pennsylvania: Lehigh County Historical Society, 1987Historic 1917-era theater gets a new owner in Allentown, Pa. Oliver "Ollie" Gernert, the treasurer of the Lyric, took note that when the Lyric showed a movie, it was packed with soldiers, but when it presented a play or Vaudeville show, many seats were empty. Gernert believed that a cinema-only theater would be extremely profitable, and if it owned by someone who worked for the Lyric, there would be no conflict of interest as the Lyric could continue to present stage shows. Named "The Strand", construction was financed by some local businessmen, including a local dentist, Dr. Benjamin Stuckert, who became Gernert's business partner. The cinema was erected during the summer of 1917, and it opened to a full auditorium on 8 October of that year.

One Reel has also operated Teatro ZinZanni, the "Summer Nights" concert series and "Family 4th at Lake Union" events. As the One Reel Vaudeville Show, the organization had been involved in the event since its second year, 1972, but with their new role as festival producer came big change. Once again, the festival featured headlining national and international talent (acts that year included Emmylou Harris, Chuck Berry, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Etta James, Clifton Chenier, Eugene Fodor and Martin Mull), but added an admission charge. Initially that admission charge was US$2.50 a day (although there was a "Free Friday", a tradition lasted for over a decade); as of 2007, it had grown to US$40 a day,Bumbershoot Tickets at Official Site , Bumbershoot Ticket Sales, Accessed online 16 August 2008.

The channel-surfing device became a distinctive hallmark of the show that helped move quickly from sketch to sketch. The television and multimedia subject matter of the sketches, pace, style and devices were real points of difference from predecessor sketch comedy shows of the time, particularly earlier shows such as The Mavis Bramston Show, The Naked Vicar Show, Australia You're Standing In It, The D-Generation and The Comedy Company, Fast Forward was more media-focused and parody-focused; a real difference, and the binding force for the whole show, was the now-famous channel-changing device. The white noise and on-screen static that represented the channel change became the modern television equivalent of a curtain being drawn at an old-fashioned vaudeville show. Fast Forward was also well known for its musical parodies, particularly of current music video clips.

Billings and his guests ate mounted in a circle on 32 docile horses that were rented from nearby riding academies and brought to the fourth-floor ballroom via the freight elevator; specially built silver trays were attached to their saddles and diners drank through rubber tubes connected to iced bottles of champagne in their saddlebags. The waiters, one for each diner, served the numerous courses dressed as grooms at a fox hunt, while an elaborately dressed groom attended each horse, and near the end of the evening elaborate troughs filled with oats were brought in for the horses to eat from.Staff (March 30, 1903) "Luncheon in a Stable" The New York Times The evening concluded with a vaudeville show. The $50,000 bill for the dinner (equivalent to $ in ) included the cost of a photographer from the Byron Company to document the event.

Ritter has reason to suspect everyone, even his old friend, Countess Ursula von Reugen, whose Baltic estate in Peenemunde had been taken over by the Nazis and appears to be escaping Germany to visit her daughter in Boston. Other prime suspects include card sharps Emilio Pajetta and Major Napier, Edward Douglas, a suspicious German-American ad executive, as well as several crew members and even the Hindenburg captains Pruss and Lehmann. Many possible clues turn out to be red herrings, such as Joe Spah sketching the ship's interior as an idea for a Vaudeville show and mysterious names which later turned out to be the name of race horses on board the Queen Mary (where Douglas' competitor is travelling). As the Hindenburg makes its way to Lakehurst Naval Air Station, events conspire against Ritter and Vogel.

Mr. Howse had been a journalist in Chicago, and his July 10, 1933 obituary stated that he was one of White City's founders and its first general manager. Admission was ten cents in the early years, and newspaper ads noted that White City was open rain or shine. In good weather, patrons could enjoy "...the spacious plaza, the outdoor sports and amusements", and if the weather was inclement, there was "...the excellent vaudeville show, the Chicago fire, ...the Baby Incubators, [and] the Wild Animals show..."advertisement in the Chicago Tribune, September 18, 1906, p. 9 In August 1906, the list of features at the park included these: Big Otto's Trained Wild Animal Show, Hale's Tours of the World, Flying Airships, Temple of Palmistry, Scenic Railway, Trip to Mars, Infant Incubators, Electric Cooking, the Midget City, and the Chutes."Attractions of the Park", Chicago Tribune, August 4, 1906, p.

Prior to the 1908 season, White City had also changed management, with James L. Wood taking charge of the park. Wood reversed his predecessor's plans emphasizing natural attractions and activities (but not cancelling the construction of the almost-completed swimming pool) as he added the "human roulette wheel", a haunted house ("The London Ghost Show"), a new motion picture theater, and an alligator show which Wood claimed he "dug up in a Cincinnati vaudeville show"."Equilibrists This Week at White City Park," Indianapolis Star 7 June 1908, cited in Indianapolis Amusement Parks 1903-1911: Landscapes on the Edge - Connie J. Zeigler, Indiana University 2007 Interest in the park was piqued with the June 21, 1908, announcement of the impending grand opening of the swimming pool. Dug out of of land, the concrete pool was surrounded with bath houses for 1000 men and 500 women.

In 1973, Help Yourself toured in a vaudeville show called "Happy Days", which was accompanied by the fourth Help Yourself album The Return of Ken Whaley and Happy Days an album from the show. They also recorded their second Peel Session later that year. Although United Artists asked them to record another album, they only had "half formed ideas" and gave up recording and finally disbanded in August 1973.Sleevenotes by Malcolm Morley to The Help Yourself Album 5 After the break-up of Help Yourself, Morley briefly joined pub-rock band Bees Make Honey and also played with Leonard in his band Iceberg When Leonard rejoined Man in 1974 Morley also joined, but only stayed for one studio album Rhinos, Winos and Lunatics although he also appears (uncredited) on a retrospective live album The 1999 Party, and in a live bonus disc issued with the 2007 re-issue of Rhinos .... Finding touring difficult, especially Man's long US tours, Morley left the band the day before they were due to record their next album Slow Motion.

A defining aspect of the performing arts within the 1920s was the development of jazz. Jazz was integrated into nearly every aspect of 1920s life: it was undefinable—it was music, it was a behavior, it was a style, it was scandalous, it was new, it was radical, it was an identity—ultimately, it was everything. And it was credited with being the “first distinctively American art form to disseminate US culture, style, and modernity across the globe. The ability that jazz had to spread across the globe also applied to spreading within American lives and art forms. During prohibition, “jazz cabarets and nightclubs would often stage elaborate floor shows that patrons could watch and participate in” and would even hire performers like comedians and actors in order to bring an “adaption of Vaudeville comedy to the nightclub”. Performances were often used in clubs and speakeasies in order to hide the fact that people were flocking in for illegal alcohol, which led to the “upgrade of entertainment into a small Vaudeville show”.
