Di's Magical Mystery Trunk
Di and her prize antique trunk from the days of Broadway Plays and Stage. This trunk was once used by 'Louise Robinson' a stage performer in the Famous 'Ziegfeld Follies'. This was an era of true stage performers. There entire lives were in these trunks which they carried with them eveywhere they traveled, by ship or by train.
I am thrilled to announce that we heard from Louise Robinson and she is alive and well celebrating her 100th Birthday in July 2005.
Happy Birthday Louise you're a real 'trooper!'
From one hard working performer of the 20th Century to another in the 21st Century. This is Loris pride and joy trunk.

| Variety/Vaudeville: What eventually became known as vaudeville had its origins in minstrel shows, concert-saloons, and beer gardens. Unlike the minstrel show, which appealed to broad audiences of both sexes, early variety or vaudeville was designed for men only. The name "vaudeville" largely replaced variety by the 1890s, but the word "variety" continued to be used as a synonym throughout the period covered by this collection. Both terms referred to a program constructed from separate acts of several different types. |
