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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Foster Hirsch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cooper Square Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.03w x 0.82d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815411031\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFoster Hirsch, a professor of film at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York, is the author of Dark Side of the Screen, A Method to Their Madness, and Detours and Lost Highways, among many other books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cooper Square Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40628666925171,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":22.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_55aea988-8fa5-4a2b-8bde-cd404e9d3b83.jpg?v=1671116957","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-boys-from-syracuse-the-shuberts-theatrical-empire-9780815411031","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
