Taken outside the Shubert Theatre, Boston while the revue, "Crazy With The Heat" was in the house. (It's time in New York was fleeting.) Is "Foreign Legion Dude" signing an autograph? Once again, Esther labeled the show & location, but no names. Grrr...
If Anonymous is correct, the first two visible folks in the photo below are pictured here....Luella Gear & Willie Howard.
And here are two more from "CWTH". I have to presume that these are from the first incarnation of the show (the Boston tryouts) which went to Broadway & played a whopping 7 performances. After closing, it was then taken over by Ed Sullivan, restaged and played for 92 performances. Missing from this new production was Richard Kollmar, (Mr. Dorothy Killgallen) both his person & song writing credit gonzo. Ouch. If only Esther had managed to get a snapshot of Dickie!

BUt hell if I know who he is. Maybe he's one third of Tip Tap and Toe.
In the first CWTH photo, I believe the first two (visible) folks from our left are Luella Gear, the comedienne, and Willie Howard, the vaudeville "dialect comedian."
hey anonymous, you're absolutely terrific! thank you so much! i imagine luella & willie are just as thrilled as i am.
