A reminiscence on the Palace Theatre’s vaudeville heyday and looming revival, noting star acts like Ed Wynn and Phil Baker, the shift toward film, scarce new acts, and the author’s memories of Broadway boarding houses, early American décor, and a life in New York entertainment during late 1920s to early 1930s.
