Oh, the things one runs across while researching. Consider the title of this act, which would not play today but was popular 100 years ago: Fink’s Mules, billed as “the World’s Equine Joy Fest.”
Apparently as performers they were very polite and considerate.
I bet it would play great on the lawn party circuit.
Wasn’t Daniel Radcliffe in a play about that?
I laughed out loud.
