Description

This brown wax cylinder record features the famous coon song Vaudeville Specialty #3, recorded by S. H. Dudley.

Sherman Houston Dudley (1872 – March 1, 1940) was an African American vaudeville performer and theatre entrepreneur. He gained notability in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century as an individual performer, a composer of ragtime songs, and as a member and later owner of various minstrel shows including the Smart Set. Dudley is also notable as one of the first African Americans to combine business with theater, by starting a black theater circuit, in which theaters were owned or operated by African Americans and provided entertainment by and for African Americans.

It is in very good+ condition with little wear. There are no cracks in this cylinder, but there are light scratches from taking the cylinder out of the case which is not the original case and somewhat tight-fitting. Buyer will include $4 for shipping. Thanks.
