However, following up on your Blair Academy lead I did find a book in our collection entitled Blair Academy and the Great War . It lists former Blair Academy students who served in World War I and describes briefly, their service. George F. Houston appears. He served with the U.S. Army Ambulance Service and was attached to the 17th French Division. Houston ran second leg on the 1912 Relay Team.

Above is Blair Academy's First Track Team, and Houston is on the far right, sitting. Having some success on the Broadway stage, Houston was enticed to Hollywood for some singing work in mid 1930s musicals. After laboring in a half-dozen musical extravaganzas, Houston found himself out of work. His next movie jobs were for little Grand National Pictures. He did not sing in this sagebrush yarn.
