About This Item
New York: Limelight Editions, 2000. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Fine/Fine.
No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality. 9.25 inches tall; 427 pages with Chapter Notes, Bibliography and Index. Illustrated with photographs. . Davis (author, lecturer and theater critic) revisits the legendary talents and the often-outrageous impresarios who brought them to Broadway.
Beginning with Florenz Ziegfelds's Follies of 1907, he tells how other producers were soon drawn to the revue and how its zaniness and spectacle became funhouse mirrors to the Jazz Age itself.
The revues' madness and extravagance were replaced with social satire and political comment in the following decades and, finally, were dimmed by the advent of television.
