The Boys from Syracuse : The Shuberts' Theatrical Empire Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

From 1905 to the crash of 1929, Sam Shubert (1874-1905) and his brothers Lee (1874-1953) and J.

J. (1878-1963), despite poor beginnings and near-illiteracy, created a theater monopoly unrivaled in history.

Their ruthless business tactics and showmanship made 42nd Street the heart of American popular theater and won them the most sought-after stars of the day, including Al Jolson, Carmen Miranda, Eddie Cantor, Fanny Brice, Mae West, and Fred Astaire.
