Abstract
This chapter tells the story of Buck and Bubbles’s triumphant first year in New York. After a month without work, they left Irwin Rosen to join Nat Nazarro, a vaudeville veteran turned agent and manager. Under Nazarro they raced to the top of the New York entertainment world, within a week scoring a booking at the most prestigious venue in town, the Palace Theatre. They finished the year with acclaimed appearances at each of the top six vaudeville theaters in New York. Although Black acts were not common in vaudeville’s “big time,” the highest echelon of the industry, Buck and Bubbles proved themselves capable of holding their own—if not dominating the proceedings—on any bill, and all before their eighteenth birthdays.
