Sometimes I'll make a "temporary" collage, just tacking down the elements so they might reappear elsewhere later. The bearded gent came from the Green Room. You'll likely see these other characters again too...

Jesus Christ Presents: The Holy Ghost Dancers

Cutting Edge Entertainment

Olga Sharpinova, a Russian immigrant, was a popular vaudevillian who performed two different acts each night. Her first performance was juggling knives which left the audience on the edge of their seats. It was her second act, hiccuping the Star Spangled Banner, which brought down the house.

One night, referred in the annals of vaudeville history as "Bloody Sunday," Olga involuntarily started hiccuping while juggling. The knives rained down on her body, even nicking the juggler in the jugular. Luckily there was a physician in the audience who saved her life by applying tourniquets to her wounds that he fashioned from the stage curtains.

She continued performing for a short time after the accident, but eventually quit to marry the doctor who saved her life. Years later, she wrote a bestselling memoir, "Life is Wounderful."

Ted "Wiggy" Pook


Ted "Wiggy" Pook - "The idiot and his uke" as he was known in the 20's and 30's, built quite a following in the frozen North and probably the only music hall artiste to play outdoors to several eskimos, a polar bear and a penguin during his world tour of both poles in 1935. His wig was insured for a staggering three thousand pounds and his ukulele was carved froma solid lump of whale blubber.

The Grayson Twins


The Grayson Twins who were billed as the "Musical duo with a million fishy tales" used to tour the variety theatres in between the wars with a unique act which included a sea anenome powered grand piano and a singing crab called Norris.
