The pages of Billboard, Variety, the New York Clipper, and the other trade magazines are full of news items about rivalries and feuds between vaudeville performers, reports of well-known acts breaking apart, followed by announcements of little-known acts coming together. Stories of celebrity gossip, social club news, fundraising efforts, and performer obituaries fill in the remaining print space between the lists of performances, feature articles, show reviews, and pages of advertising. Likewise, interviews with or autobiographies by performers are frequently preoccupied with backstage friendships, partnerships, love affairs, and (in some cases, life-long) feuds with other artists. This chapter concentrates on how performers accounted for their relationships with each other, and how their backstage world was connected to and shaped their performances.
