There were thousands of Theatres throughout the USA, in communities large and small. The large cities had dozens of Vaudeville Theatres located in neighbourhoods ranging from working class to the more affluent. In 1912, New York there were 22 famous Vaudeville Houses in 1910, in addition to the many other smaller, less posh Burlesque and Variety Theatres.  In 1910, Chicago’s densely populated North side there were Vaudeville Theatres every few city blocks. The famous Academy, the American, the New Apollo, and the Americus were on the on the North and West sides of the city. The South side had the legendary theatres; the Grand, the Empress, the Monroe, the Ellis and the Midway.

During the industry’s peak in 1900, the US census listed approximately 100,000 professional actors in America, most would have been performing in Vaudeville.
