http://userwww.sfsu.edu/~hl/v.html

Extractions: T he era from 1903 to 1911 was a time without radio, without television, and without video stores. Phonograph records, both disc and cylinder types, were just beginning to be developed for primitive, non-electric gramophones and graphophones. Also, short five- and ten-minute silent moving pictures were just beginning to be available as extra novelty features during magic lantern shows. Thus, the primary form of entertainment in small-town America was live entertainment, such as home talent shows, lecturers, travelling vaudeville shows, minstrels, musicals, and dramas. To accomodate this need many towns established a theatre and community center, often called an "opera house." Chicago Junction, Ohio (later renamed Willard) was no exception, and the variety of live entertainment provided by the "Chicago Opera House" was unbelievable by late twentieth-century standards for a town with a population of 3000. The original Chicago Opera House (known later as Hoffman House or Maple Opera House) contained 440 removable seats and offered some form of activity almost every night, including dances, dance classes, concerts, banquets, wrestling, and illustrated lectures. It was truly Willard's "window to the world." When I found that my great-grandfather, Fred Henry Layer, had managed the Chicago Opera House, I sought every source of information available about his career from approximately July 1903 to December 1911. Then one summer I compiled this information into three cross-correlated lists published in a book format with family photographs and original newspaper clippings of many events. This book is now on deposit at the Willard Public Library. These lists compiled in 1988 have been updated at this website, and newly located photographs have been included.

Extractions: Web kids.net.au Thesaurus Dictionary Kids Categories Encyclopedia ... Contents Old-Time Radio or The Golden Age of Radio is a term used to refer to radio programs that were broadcast during the 1920s through the late 1950s (with some outlying programs produced earlier and later) in the United States, as well as the United Kingdom and Canada and some other countries. During these time periods, before the widespread adoption of television , radios became available across the United States . Initially, radio was regarded as a "low" medium and not much cared-for by American corporations. With the rise of the movie industry, America's appetite for mass entertainment grew, and soon the breeding ground of Vaudeville was serving radio as well as movies. Early radio shows reflected Vaudeville origins and usually featured variety shows, with music, slapstick or ethnic humor, and often suggestive situations. As the medium matured, sophistication increased, and by the mid-1930s radio featured all the trademarks of other forms of American entertainment: comedy, drama, horror, mystery, romance, music, and so on. Among the best-known of the early radio performers were comedians: Jack Benny Burns and Allen Amos and Andy Abbott and Costello , and Fibber McGee and Molly . The Lux Radio Theater[?]

Extractions: Les Marsden had some more information about Harpo's 'speaking career': Harpo was given the name Adolph, but changed it to Arthur during World War I because it was too 'German'. Through Alexander Woollcott the theater critic, who was responsible for their first big success in New York, Harpo became a member of the Algonquin Round Table. In 1936 he married actress Susan Fleming. They adopted four children Bill, Alex, Jimmy and Minnie. Minnie is married to Jerry Eagle Alex retired from his career as a submarine mechanic with the military. He and his wife Carol and two stepdaughters live in Vallejo. Jim owned a pottery shop and separate studio in San Luis Obispo. The shop was called 'Mudslingers'. He lost the store in a divorce about 1980 and is now happily remarried (different wife) and works at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant.

After touring the Midwest for nearly four years, they came to the attention of impresario Oscar Hammerstein, who engaged them for a month-long run at his Olympia Theatre in New York in November 1896.
