Review # 1 was written on 2017-06-09 00:00:00 Macarthur Williams With a title like Vaudeville Wars: How the Keith-Albee and Orpheum Circuits Controlled the Big-Time and it's Performers, I knew it would be right up my Roaring Twenties alley. I was right, and I learned some things. But the book itself was excruciatingly dull reading. Granted, it was published by Palgrave-MacMillan, the academic imprint for MacMillan publishing company, so I should have expected dry. This book is good for scholars researching that era. Basically it is about how Keith, Albee, and other vaudeville tycoons monopolized the business and screwed the performers as they made millions.
