May I congratulate you on the wonderful theatre section! It reads like part of the encyclopaedia of the American Comedy Theatre in the 1920s. Many thanks as usual! I only wish Leslie had played in more interesting plays, though the ones he played in seem to have provided him with an excellent schooling 🙂
Thank you for your kind words. Actually, I am particularly interested in Leslie’s appearances on the Broadway stages during the Twenties
