Reviews
"""Art Names personified American individualism in his brief career as poet, playwright, and promoter of traveling tent shows in the Midwest during the 1920s until mid-1940s. His tenacity in keeping alive a dying art form demonstrated his self reliance and fulfillment of the Bard's admonition of being true to one's self. And Don Whisenhunt's revisiting his grandfather's association with Names is but a continuation of the dream. Much can be learned here about show business development from Kenneth Waters' extended introduction.""--Archie P. McDonald, SFASU"
