Strange Feats and Clever Turns
by Charlie Holland
An anthology of illustrated articles on remarkable specialty acts in variety, vaudeville and sideshows at the turn of the 20th century. The articles are compiled from magazines of the era (Strand and Pearson's,1894-1904), the heyday of variety before film, radio and TV. One chapter is entirely on jugglers with others on acrobats, aerialists, contortionists, balancers, hand shadows, paper folding wizards, a lightning modeller, sword swallowers, human arrows and other peculiar acts. 330 photographs and illustrations.
192 pp. 6.5 x 9.5. Paper.
