Extract

Vaudeville makes a sprawling subject. Under the social and commercial shocks that swirled around it, vaudeville could scarcely afford to be more innocent than it needed to be. In Blue Vaudeville, Andrew Erdman follows a single, generally naughty-but-nice strand within the huge volume of vaudeville performance.
