Vaudeville Act 1937 (revised)

Thanks for the comment thebigfish11.

And thanks for the greeting from Ireland!!!

Buddy's Mom (Grehan) was from Castlebar, County Mayo. His Father's family "The Murphy's" came over in the 1850's. We don't know from where though.

Buddy is now 102 years old and doing well. It's that good Irish Blood.

Have pictures posted on Flickr.

Thanks again for the comment.

Best to you.

Quite incredible. Fantastic video and what a performance. Greetings from Ireland - there must be an Irish connection, given the Murphy name?

hey guys! audrey from the boudior beauties :) incredible footage!

[btm7705]

Thanks Audrey,

Buddy is the guy on stage right.

Really enjoyed the show.

Pleasure to have met you and seen you perform.

Enjoyed this immensely. Can you tell more about the career of the trio, and the origins of the film? Was it shot with their knowledge and agreement? Do you have any other footage of them? It should all be archived. The National Film theatre in London has public showing of music hall/vaudeville acts as they come to light.

Just found this video. My mom was the "Beatrice" in the act. Unfortunately she passed away 5 years ago but certainly not before she taught me to do some of the tricks!! (I just never could do them as well). I have quite a few of the marquees and the great postcard of Buddy, Frank and her. How do I get in touch with Buddy?

Judy, this is neat seeing your mom. Thanks for sharing. It is awesome that you did get together with Buddy.

[btm7705]

It was a great pleasure to meet Judy.

[driccipadula]

Judy is a very special person so I can only imagine that her mom was the same. You have all had such a blessed life. My life is blessed to have known a part of it.

Great vintage material. I hope there is a lot more for an understanding of the Vaudeville era.

It says "revised" in the title. Do you have the entire uncut act?

[btm7705]

Unfortuately that's all I have of this act. I have more film from that time of other acts, but Buddy doesn't remember who they are. I had put "revised" the title because the first upload wasn't as clean.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, and thanks for posting this vintage footage.
