'Bunkum Entertainments' is a delightful collection of humorous skits by Robert Ganthony, lampooning popular entertainments of the late 19th century. This compilation offers a peek into the world of vaudeville and stage shows, cleverly satirizing conjuring, physiognomy, juggling, performing fleas, waxworks, panoramas, phrenology, phonographs, second sight, lightning calculators, ventriloquism, and spiritualism. Ganthony’s witty sketches provide both amusement and a critical perspective on the fads and fascinations of the era.
