Hi Rootschatters.

I thought some folk might find the following links interesting if they had any ancestors involved in various forms of entertainment long before the advent of Television and Computers.

It's a subject I came across by accident and a very fascinating one at that. Both sites have a lot of interesting stuff and lots of names too.

2. Researching Circus, Fairground, Music Hall, Variety, Magic and pre-TV novelty entertainment
