In its manifest, I think Vaudeville is very American. It touches us and our lives at many places. It appeals to the businessman, tired and worn, who drops in for half an hour on his way home, to the person who has an hour or two before a train goes, or before a business appointment, to the woman who is wearied of shopping, to the children who love animals and acrobats; to the man with his sweetheart or sister, to the individual who wants to be diverted but doesn’t want to think or feel; to the American of all grades and kinds who wants a great deal for his money. The vaudeville theatre belongs to the era of the department store and the short story. It may be a kind of lunch-counter art, but then art is so vague and lunch is so real. - Edwin Royle, 1899

"THIS WAS VENOM'S FIRST TIME PLAYING IN THE UNITED STATES AND WHAT A LEGENDARY SHOW..."

PIC(S) INFO: Mega spotlight on live shots, plus a concert poster design, of English first wave black metal/speed/thrash metal band, VENOM, performing live at The Paramount Theater in Staten Island, New York, USA, on April 22 & 24, 1983. 📸: Unknown/ undisclosed.

OVERVIEW: "This was VENOM's first time playing in the United States and what a legendary VENOM show this is. Venom played two nights at the Paramount Theater in Staten Island with METALLICA (whom nobody knew who they were at the time) opening both shows. The first show on the 22nd was plagued with power problems. The show gets off to a bad start with Cronos's microphone getting caught in the stage curtain and lifted up with the curtain. To say that VENOM used pyrotechnics would be an understatement.... it was more like dynamite!! The sound of the explosion during the start of "Witching Hour," it sounds like a bomb going off. It is during this show that VENOM blew a four foot hole in the stage with the pyro and the fire marshall cut the show after their regular set eliminating the encores."

Come On, Eddie, Let's Go Steady!: Ed Wood and Vampira attending a benefit for the ailing Bela Lugosi at Hollywood's Paramount Theater, May of 1955. 1994's "Ed Wood" depicted her as a near-complete outsider to Wood's circle of Twilight People prior to the making of "Plan 9 From Outer Space," but she had already met the director through Forrest J. Ackerman two years prior and had appeared on television with Lugosi.
