| Abstract | Contends that, "due to the achievements of German Jews, the structure of a modern American show business was already in place by the turn of the century," and argues that "the rise of this show business was not a 'New York story' but one that involved a mediation between New York and the rest of the nation -- with German Jews uniquely positioned to serve as mediators." |
