description: "Antonio Pastor was an American impresario, variety performer and theatre owner who became one of the founding forces behind American vaudeville in the mid-to-late-nineteenth century. He was sometimes referred to as the \"Dean of Vaudeville\". The strongest elements of his entertainments were an almost-jingoistic brand of United States patriotism and a strong commitment to attracting a \"mixed-gender\" audience, the latter being something revolutionary in the male-oriented variety halls of the mid-century. Although he was a performer and producer, Pastor is best known for \"cleaning up\" bawdy variety acts and presenting a clean and family-friendly genre called vaudeville."
