The Automatic Vaudeville was an attraction in the Olentangy Park Midway.[1] built in 1909.[2][3] The Automatic Vaudeville Company was founded in 1903 and owned a chain of Penny Arcades,[4] so this could be the penny arcade that burnt down in the Midway Fire of 1911.[5][6] Similar attractions at other parks featured a variety of amusements, including penny-operated machines like Kinetoscopes, punching bags, shooting galleries, and fortune-telling.[7]
