Three is the charm
Available Now: Vaudeville 1922


1922, the Bedford Theater in Brooklyn, New York, was a toilet. The smell of garlic and oil sandwiches mixed with cheap cigar smoke hung in the stale air, which formed a bluish grey cloud above the entire inside of the theater. The Bedford was known for its bad lighting, mediocre band, dust everywhere, and possessed an audience that had heard it all and seen it all. Most acts that performed there were either on their way up to The Palace Theatre on Broadway or on the way down to the theaters of Nacogdoches, Texas or Sioux City, Iowa.

In fact, the second film was Sons of the Desert, which is one of the greatest comedies of all time. –Fail. I became desperate and thought of reaching into my faux-suicide routine, which has been compared to a Times Square New Year's Eve Party on speed. There was only one person that I knew who had the tools to save me: my dear old pal F.S. Lif. So I called him up, told him of my funk and he came right over.
