- Summary
- "This work examines the Depression decade's popular type of comedy--the clown. The study filters its analysis through twelve pictures. While some of the comedians in this text have generated previous analysis, some funnymen are all but forgotten. This book addresses these oversights and attempts to re-expose the brilliance and ingenuity the screen clowns contributed"--Provided by publisher.
