Endmen's Gags is a book that contains a collection of jokes from the early twentieth century. The author, J. Melville Janson, has compiled a series of humorous one-liners and anecdotes that were popular among the endmen of the era. Endmen were the comedians who performed at the end of a minstrel show, often delivering witty remarks and jokes to the audience. The book is a glimpse into the humor of the time, with jokes ranging from puns to wordplay, and from silly to satirical. It offers a unique perspective on the cultural and social context of the early twentieth century, as well as a lighthearted look at the entertainment of the time.1895. Janson, a comedian who spent ten seasons with Carncross Minstrels, Philadelphia; three seasons with Primrose and West's Minstrels; two seasons with Emerson's Minstrel's in California; played star engagements in the principal theaters of the United States; has compiled a collection of jokes from the early twentieth-century for use in minstrel shows, vaudeville and plays designed for gags for ends.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
