All You Need Is Love: The Story of Popular Music

Rude Songs (Vaudeville and Music Hall) (1x6)

Uitzenddatum: Mrt 19, 1977

Music Hall, as a description, means exactly what it says. A hall, usually at the back of a tavern or pub, in which music was performed by local entertainers for financial gain. It is thus the earliest example of a popular music industry. In a sense, through all its manifestations, music hall or vaudeville or variety has remained true to this original description. Thus, the film begins and ends in Las Vegas (with Judy Garland), a palace of varieties to end all palaces of variety. En route, we travel via London’s Palace Theatre, the Palladium and the Windmill. featuring Charles Aznavour Charles Coburn Clara Bow Danny La Rue Edith Piaf Flanagan and Allen Florrie Forde Harry Lauder Judy Garland Liberace Little Tich Mae West Marie Kendall Marlene Dietrich Maurice Chevalier Mrs Shufflewick
