Summary: City Culture
Comment: Snyder's book is a gem. Great to see it back in print. He shows how vaudeville transformed New York. He captures the vitality of popular entertainment, its shortcomings, and its commercialization. The writing is crisp and the stories are great You can almost hear the voices in quotes such as Joseph P. Kennedy to Ed Albee:

"Didn't you know Ed? You're washed up. You're through."

Snyder is a New Yorker and it shows. He gives us a vision of the city and its culture between 1880 and 1930 that is captivating. If you want to understand how America, or at least New York, became modern this book should be on your list of must reads.
