Vaudeville Homepage

This site is intended for people who are searching for ancestors they think may have been working on stage as performers in North America. I've used the Manitoba Free Press as a reference and copied the names of performers, their acts and scanned the pictures that went with them. Transcribed what was playing for most of 1913 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada because Winnipeg was part of the main vaudeville circuit of North America. Arranged to be searched by performer's name. The format lists the theatres and who and what was playing in each on a weekly basis, one week per page of all the theatres, and at the bottom of each page are listed the performers in order of appearance on the page. The names are also on one document in alphabetical order with the week they were playing beside each name. The searcher would thus be able to quickly scan the names, see what week they were on stage and then go to my weekly listing page that has a link for each week. Searchers have to bear in mind that in those days performers changed their names as often as they changed their act so you'd be advised to look for clues.
