Humor is a
universal language.
Joel Goodman

With the fearful strain
that is on me night and day, if
I did not laugh I should die.
Abraham Lincoln

today, we find humor
from many sources. TV, movies,
& books, radio, and the Internet are just
some of the mediums used to offer comedy.
But at the turn of the 20th century, the most
common way to enjoy humor was to
attend a vaudeville show, a
variety show that
might include
comedians, dancers,
singers, performing animals,
acrobats, and magicians. Much of to
day's humor evolved from vaudeville,
which began to decline in popularity
after 1932. It was at that time that
the leading vaudeville theater,
the Palace Theater in New
York, replaced live acts
with none other
but film.

Trivia question:

Before
Laurel and Hardy
there was Ed and Sally
do you know who
they were..?
