According to Joe Laurie Jr.'s <i>Vaudeville</i>, they had a good long run as a team, their career outlasting vaudeville by nearly 30 years. They made one other short, <i>Going Places</i> in 1930, and played bits and walk-ons in a number of features, some of which are available on video today: <i>Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch</i>; <i>Ready, Willing and Able</i>; <i>The Gracie Allen Murder Case</i>; <i>King of Burlesque</i>. Their last appearance was in <i>I Married a Woman</i> in 1958. Sam Lee died in 1980, age 88, and Al Shaw in '85 at 82.Jim Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00981196894914646656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779097004556285780.post-39368880355670704942011-06-01T13:28:46.711-07:002011-06-01T13:28:46.711-07:00Very interesting post, Jim.

I don't know alot about these vaudeville acts, but I remember getting a big kick out of the short featuring The Beau Brummels, that can be found on the massive The Jazz Singer DVD set. I wondered if they appeared in any other shorts? I found their deadpan humor very funny.Kevin Deanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697597405552599370noreply@blogger.com
