Broadway #1

Two days ago, the teacher was talking to us about Broadway plays, Vaudeville, burlesque shows, and art and technology almost relating to that. Also she showed us a movie that showed people acting and dancing back in the 1920s to the 1950s I think. You know hearing about Broadway plays reminds me of Hal Roach's Little Rascals/Our Gang (1920-1940s), it had kids acting and dancing just like in Broadway plays and burlesque shows. To me, when I think about the 1920s to 1950s, it reminds me of the Our Gang comedies, The Three Stooges, Abbott & Costello, the Marx Brothers, and now The Artist. Boy, they don't make films like that anymore, back then they didn't have high level technology but an interesting way of performance art, and even for special effects.

For example:
