PHOTOS SHOW ACTUAL BOOK YOU WILL RECEIVE"To Vaudeville: With All My Love" Written by Donald 'Monk' Watson and Daughter Marnie Watson Smith
Softcover, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". 39 pages.
The Introduction states "With kind permission from his family, we are reprinting it ("To Vaudeville: With All My Love") here in it's entirety so perhaps you too can get a glimpse of how one man lived his dream as an entertainer". This Introduction is dated 2006.
Interesting but NOT mentioned in the book -- "Donald Watson (1894 - 1981), was a vaudeville performer, acrobat, magician, radio personality, musician and emcee, started the career of the great Bob Hope and toured with Elsie Janis" (Wikipedia). lt is also my understanding that he lived in Colon, Michigan (The Magic Capital of the World) and that his endorsement would often appear on Abbott Magic product advertising.
Condition: Pages are clean with one corner fold. Non-smoking home.
