Creative Arts Television: Filmed and videotaped arts footage from 1950 to date.
Steve Mills, an old-timer from the world of vaudeville, a "top banana" as he was called, with help from Caro Cormic, Abagail Chase, Dexter Maitland, and Harry Ryan, presents well known skits from the golden days of burlesque. These are dramatic bits, often with outsized props, that audiences knew well and expected to see again and again. Some examples: "The Telephone", "Sonny Boy," "Nagging Woman," "The Olio," and "In the Alley." Mills points out that these skits were not written down and were borrowed back and forth among performers, each of whom gave them a special twist. They all included stock characters, living stereotypes with predetermined punch lines. 1966. |
