Irrational amusements, theatre law, and moral reformers in nineteenth-century America
This paper considers several case studies of conflicts between moral reformers active in US cities and venues catering to working-class audiences from the 1860s to 1880s. For moral reformers, theatrical entertainments, particularly forms with no educational or moral purpose, were deeply corrupting and threatened not only the well-being of the individual, but also that of the nation.

I argue that Lennox may be more productively viewed by keeping in mind performance ideals of music hall and…

Just a week earlier the state legislature had passed a bill aimed at stemming the rise of the concert saloons that had begun to proliferate in this once-fashionable neighborhood. During the week after the bill passed, concert saloons-establishments that offered an enticing combination of variety entertainment and alcohol served by pretty waiter girl…
