WEBER AND FIELDS
NOT ALWAYS GERMANS
Famous Comedians Began Career i'm
Irish Roles But Soon
Switched,

AS the theatrical season nears a
close it becomes history making for
the oliver theater as Weber and
Fields and their own big" company
are to appear there on May for two
performances. This is the first time
the celebrated comedians have been
announced as a local theatrical at
traction. II is the policy OF the come
dams, to go on tour every spring, but
in previous years the route has been
confined TO Chicago. Boston, Philadel-
phia and other large centers of popu-
lation. The bookings this season
takes them into a few of the more
important smaller cities. with the
success of the season, Hockey Pokey."

and Lew NJ. Fields is one of the
classics OF the American stage. Their
first appearance dates back over a

were ripe in Ireland then, and a very
large percentage Of the immigrants
were Irish. Therefore il was not sur

on a stage career of comedy. should
hit upon the Irish as the proper race
to portray. and so il was that Weber
and Fields made their stage debut in
green coat. green knickerbockers.
green stockings and with pipe and
shillalah.
But just about this time the influx
% Irish immigration began TO ebb
and the Germans came over in drOves.

the two boys changed their green
raiment for something more sugges-

shoes came out one night and sang
