Papers of Will Rogers From Vaudeville to Broadway, September 1908-August 1915

This third volume of The Papers of Will Rogersdocuments the evolution of Rogers's vaudeville career as well as the newlywed life of Will and Betty Blake Rogers and the birth of their children. During these years, the Rogerses moved to New York City, and after many years of performing with Buck McKee and horse Teddy, Rogers began a solo act in vaudeville as a talking, roping cowboy. He appeared on the same playbill with such performers as Fred Stone, Eddie Cantor, and Houdini, and his stage career expanded to include an appearance in the Broadway musical comedy "The Wall Street Girl." Volume Three ends with Rogers's successful transition from vaudeville to Broadway, on the brink of his breakthrough as a star of the Ziegfeld Follies.Rogers, Will is the author of 'Papers of Will Rogers From Vaudeville to Broadway, September 1908-August 1915' with ISBN 9780806133157 and ISBN 0806133155.
