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..? ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Let me know . [This message has been edited by lucky (edited 02-10-2001).] |
