The entries linked to this index comprise individuals whose careers are more associated with “legitimate” theatrical pursuits – notably composers, dramatists, “serious” actors, and in some instances entrepreneurs.  Most of these people, however, are known to have had a minor (or even fleeting) association with variety theatre. The careers of a small number of individuals in the listing have not yet been linked to variety, but are considered to have possibly been associated with it at some stage. It is hoped that further research may discover a relationship (or not). This page also includes circus performers who had a brief association with vaudeville.
