Product Description:
W. C. Fields, Charlie Chaplin, Red Skelton . . . All were so-called tramp comedians, but one of the most famous of all vaudeville tramps at the beginning of the 20th century was Nat Wills. He appeared on stage with a toothless grin, scruffy face, rough clothes, and oversized shoes, but he spoke like a gentleman and delighted audiences with his topical humor and observations on modern life. Released in 1909, his monologue, "No News, or What Killed the Dog"--featuring the timeless comic trick of spilling piecemeal lots of bad news under the pretense that there is nothing to report--took off like a wildfire and became one of the early recording industry's all-time biggest smash hits.
