When Groucho Marx and Charlie Chaplin were born, variety entertainment had been going for decades in America, and like Harry Houdini, Milton Berle, Mae West, and countless others, these performers got their start on the vaudeville stage. From 1881 to 1932, vaudeville was at the heart of show business in the States. Its stars were America's first stars in the modern sense, and it utterly dominated American popular culture. Writer and modern-day vaudevillian Trav S.D. chronicles vaudeville's far-reaching impact in "No Applause - Just Throw Money". He explores the many ways in which vaudeville's story is the story of show business in America and documents the rich history and cultural legacy of our country's only purely indigenous theatrical form, including its influence on everything from USO shows to "Ed Sullivan" to "The Muppet Show" and "The Gong Show". More than a quaint historical curiosity, vaudeville is thriving today and Trav S.D. peels back the curtain on the vibrant subculture that exists across the United States - a vast grassroots network of fire-eaters, human blockheads, burlesque performers, and bad comics intent on taking Vaudeville into the its second century.

"Exuberant... Trav S.D. makes grand claims for vaudeville... his well researched excursions into vaudeville's prehistory, and his arguments for its influential role in American culture, makes his book something more than a fast-moving tour of popular entertainment and long forgotten stars... By turns shrewd and amusing." - The New York Times."
