from Frank Cullen -
publisher of VAUDEVILLE TIMES and curator of the
American Vaudeville Museum:

13 June 2007

"Hello Chris Simmons,

This letter of appreciation is long overdue. Last
night I again watched the "double feature" EVENING AT
A BRITISH MUSIC HALL tape that you provided the AVM.
It was delightful.

I have seen other's recreations of Music Hall and
thought them lacking in bite and irreverence. Some
were even cloying, like the sentimental and puerile
revivals of vaudeville shows. I must say that I found
this too true of Music Hall entertainments I saw in
London. Too often these evocations look like Disney did
them.

You have assembled a solid pit band and a cast of
genuine talent and diverse personalities. ...

I think it is a tribute to your talent, perseverance
and the quality of your shows that you have attracted
a loyal audience to support your efforts all theses
years."

Thank you, Mr Cullen! We all greatly appreciate your very gracious comments. Please come see us perform this autumn in Bethlehem!
