EDITOR\'S NOTE

As in the case of Minstrelsy, which has not yet achieved the distinction of separate historical treatment in the literature of the stage, the growth and development of that familiar, unrefined entertainment called Burlesque has not attracted a historian. This monograph, of commercial book length, should prove a fair first step toward remedying the situation. Although the locale is San Francisco, the national and even international aspects of burlesque have not been deprived of brief notice. Similarly, the outstanding burlesques performed in San Francisco were performed in New York and other centers throughout the country, often with the same stars or casts. Public reaction, too, was similar, so this history may be said to be a representative one, at least as far as the general may be inferred from the particular.

The monograph takes up burlesque in its earliest aspects, though the form is not ancient — even as a literary appellation — and certainly the character of performance so designated on the modern American stage is quite young. John Hollingshead, writing in 1898, pointed out that the very word \"burlesque\" was unknown in France or England before 1640 or 1650. Historically, we have burlesque that was, as this monograph explains, \"an unceremonious take-off on a staid original,\" composed progressively in rhymed verse, partly in prose dialogue, and finally in prose. Today, a development of the nineteenth century, we have an extension of all these forms, and especially of the era of the sixties and seventies, with the \"maud and plumed nudity,\" the smutty double entendre, the obscene gesture, and the radicalism of its runway over the seats and heads of the audience to the final anarchism of the strip tease. This monograph has carefully and authentically woven into a significant narrative the story of burlesque in all its varied forms and colors.

Quick noteon grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don\'t give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
\"EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET\" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
\"VERY QUIET\" is anabove averagequiet record for a given pressing.
\"Quiet\" is a record that is a great example with some noise.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.

Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.
