variaty

   variaty light easy entertainment at the time. bursque\dance seen as quite under the cusp ; smut with a hint of comical class for the working class!
considering nearly every night was a booze infested hall of banta and sexual connotation ; not a place for a lady so would be ocupied mainly by workinging class men looking for a good time after a long days work ,during the depression this was a good way to relax and have a good time.
   Performances such as ventrilaquism, acrobatics, abnormal animals, magicians and quick sketches - in Variety anything quick and eye catching goes, but if it drags you wouldn't necessarily come home clean, as the original venues you would be table seated and booze filled. If you weren't catching the audience's attention, cabbages, tomatoes and beer would be thrown far and wide aimed at the performer, not an easy game to play but played well could have been very lucrative.
   Vaideville was more of a circus theme and even had a name for themselves. Vaudevillians were like a family so with this approach instead of music hall they had more of a business atmosphere.
