A Sawdust Heart My Vaudeville Life in Medicine and Tent Shows [#377008]
A Sawdust Heart: My Vaudeville Life in Medicine and Tent Shows By Henry Wood, Michael Fedo
2011 | 144 Pages | ISBN: 081667230X | PDF | 2 MB
In the early twentieth century, before radio and motion pictures became widespread, rural Americans had few options for entertainment. While vaudeville theaters were prominent and popular in the cities, they were scarce in rural and small-town America, which was hungry for both diversion and news from the rest of the world. It was here that the traveling show thrived. Leaving his hometown of Viroqua, Wisconsin, to travel with a medicine show, twelve-year-old Henry Wood became hooked on show business. He joined a traveling theater troupe, and leading lady Clarabelle Fendell helped the boy become "Jack," a gentleman and vaudeville performer, so transformed that he was barely recognized by his own mother when he returned home. Wood spent the years 1910-1941 in traveling medicine and tent shows that featured a variety of vaudeville acts, from skits to full-length dramatic plays. Whether recalling his experiences skydiving from hot-air balloons, serving in the air force, or being accosted by angry theatergoers unable to distinguish him from the villains he portrayed on stage, Wood's story paints a lively and vivid picture. While most books on this period of American theater history focus on major names in vaudeville and the entertainment industry, A Sawdust Heart shows what it was like for the real show-business workers and the performers who never made it big but eked out a living doing what they loved on minor stages across America. Introduced by Wood's grandson-in-law Michael Fedo with a concise history of these traveling shows, A Sawdust Heart is an amusing read for anyone interested in early-twentieth-century rural America.
