If you love the circus, magicians or vaudeville you'll be crazy about Frederic La Delle's story. Nov 04, 2009
By Ransom Bernard There's so much more to this book than the wonderful story of his life as related by his nonagenarian granddaughter. Although his entertainment career was remarkable, his self promotional talents and publishing successes were indeed world class for the time. The reproductions in this title of his major works; "All About Vaudeville", "How to Enter Vaudeville", La Delle's Self-Study Library" and Clever Card Tricks Anyone Can Do", are worth the selling price many times over. He was such a factor in his time that one of his original works is now on display at the "Bob Hope Gallery of American Entertainment" exhibit at the U. S. Library of Congress.
Anyone interested in the history of the circus, magic or vaudeville will find this an important and valuable addition to their library. Many biographies of an important entertainer's life such as this have been lost over time; Mr. and Mrs. Swift have succeeded in providing a valuable addition to the genre.
