  • Full discographic information, including recording dates and locations, matrix and take numbers, catalog numbers, accompanists, and pseudonyms
  • Detailed capsule biographies for all performers, listing significant show credits with theaters and opening dates; film and radio credits; career histories, and other intersting (and often little-known) facts
  • Historical introduction, title index, and show and film index
