Entertainer
Another catchall category, entertainers can be stage actors or magicians, musicians, or dancers. They may be serious Shakespearean thespians from back east, crude medicine-show comedians, song-and-dance artists, concert-hall musicians, barroom piano players, fiddlers, banjo-pickers, jugglers, cancan dancers, opera singers, torch balladeers, and so on.
Entertainers might as easily defuse a tense situation with their wit or skill as create one with their dandified airs and ignorance of the ways of the West. Wyatt Earp’s third wife, Josie Marcus, was an actress, and the movie Tombstone features her among a group of traveling entertainers and the trouble they get into. Note that “soiled doves” (prostitutes) might also fall within the seedier end of this profession’s definition.
