It was a strange notion in 1900, that leading lights of the
legitimate stage would ever join a bill of "turns" or short acts,
everything from, and in between, song-and-dance, trained animals,
blackface, aerialists, criminals regaling crowds with their
exploits, eating fire. "Transatlantic Stage Stars in Vaudeville and
Variety "shows renowned actors showing rough fare in rough times.
Celebrity will be seen changing, always, even to twisting its
foremost exemplars in the wind.
