Book Description
Ed Lowry joined the vaudeville circuit in 1910 at the age of fourteen. He never achieved stardom equal to the likes of Fred Allen, Jack Benny, George Burns, Buster Keaton, or Eddie Cantor; and he never considered himself an ‘artiste’. Instead, he saw himself as a hoofer and comic simply trying to make a living on the vaude scene.
