BURLESQUE - STRIPPERS
Burlesque - form of entertainment differing from comedy or farce in that it achieves its effectsthrough caricature, ridicule, and distortion. It differs from satire in that it is devoid of any
ethical element. The word first came into use in the 16th cent. in an opera of the Italian Francesco
Berni, who called his works burleschi. Early English burlesque often ridiculed celebrated literary
works, especially sentimental drama. The extravaganza and burletta were forms of amusement similar
to burlesque, the latter being primarily a musical production. They were performed in small theaters
in an effort to evade the strict licensing laws that forbade major dramatic productions to these
theaters. American stage burlesque (from 1865), often referred to as "burleycue" or "leg show," began
as a variety show, characterized by vulgar dialogue and broad comedy, and uninhibited behavior by
performers and audience. Such stars as Al Jolson, W. C. Fields, Mae West, Fannie Brice, Sophie Tucker,
Bert Lahr, and Joe Weber and Lew Fields began their careers in burlesque. About 1920 the term began
to refer to the "strip-tease" show, which created its own stars, such as Gypsy Rose Lee; in c.1937
burlesque performances in New York City were banned. With the increase in popularity of nightclubs
and movies, the burlesque entertainment died.
