| Summary | "Continuous Vaudeville" by Will M. Cressy is a collection of humorous anecdotes and stories written in the early 20th century. The book explores the behind-the-scenes lives of performers in the vaudeville theater scene, offering insights into their trials, tribulations, and the colorful characters that populate this world. The main character is Cressy himself, as he recounts his experiences and observations during his career in show business. The opening of "Continuous Vaudeville" introduces readers to the setting and atmosphere of vaudeville theaters through the eyes of the old stage door tenders who witness the comings and goings of actors and performers. Cressy shares humorous interactions and memorable quirks of these stage door keepers and their guests, revealing their distinct personalities and attitudes towards the world of theater. Through anecdotes about both well-known acts and lesser performers, the narrative paints a vivid and entertaining picture of vaudeville life, setting the tone for the stories that follow in the collection.
