Ohio-born comedic actress Elsie Janis (1889–1956) started out in vaudeville at the tender age of two. She became a headliner on Broadway and in London and entertained the troops during World War I. Later, she turned her sights to film and radio and extended her contributions to include writing and composing.
New Yorker Joseph Cawthorn (1868–1949) started out in minstrelsy and vaudeville in 1872 as a Dutch comic. ("Dutch" referring to a German comic character) He toured widely finally making it to Broadway in the late 1890s. Turning his sights to Hollywood, he made numerous films between 1927 and 1942. Fun fact: During the run of Little Nemo in 1908, he was required to ad lib in a scene where he was describing imaginary animals. One was the "whiffenpoof", which was later appropriated by the Yale University Glee Club.
