Fields, Armond Fred Stone Circus Performer and Musical Comedy Star
Jefferson, NC Mcfarland & Company 2001 0786411619 / 9780786411610 Paperback Very Good+
Text is clean. Cover shows only minimal wear. ; FROM THE PUBLISHER: Fred Stone was one of America's most versatile and talented entertainers. It seemed as if he could do anything and everything, from tightrope walking and acrobatics to song-and-dance, musical comedies, and straight drama. This work chronicles his extraordinary life and career. He was born in a log cabin August 19, 1873, in Valmont, Colorado, to a family that was part of the covered-wagon migration into the virtually unknown West. He joined a traveling circus at age 11 and two years later, joined a different one as a self-taught tightrope walker. During his teens, Stone performed on the variety stage, and at age 22, met Dave Montgomery, with whom he performed for over twenty years, including Broadway musicals, notably The Wizard of Oz. After Montgomery's death in 1917, Stone continued to perform and shared his continued success with his closest friend Will Rogers, and Annie Oakley, Charles Dillingham, Charles Russell, Ed Borein, and Rex Beach. In 1950, he retired from show business and during the last years of his life suffered from increasing blindness and heart trouble. He died at his Los Angeles home in 1959.; 303 pages
