"From the wild-west saloons through vaudeville, opera, silent movies, talkies, and finally the golden age of cinema, El Paso was the "Broadway of the Border." Cynthia Farah Haines' /Showtime!/ describes the entrepreneurs, actors, promoters, audiences (all both American and Mexican), the buildings, the deals, the politics, and the society that constituted, supported, and enjoyed El Paso's rich variety of theatres."
