CAREER OF SINGERS
BEGAN AT BOTTOM
Howard Brothers Ran the Gamut
to Success.

Stage beginnings as usual thing,
have very humble origin and Eugene
and Willie Howard, those two clever
singers, comedians and imitators in
the SHOW of Wonders" at the Ba-
lasco next week, are no exception to
the rule. Both we're handicapped by
lack of funds and influence when they
started in New York. Eugene was
the first to gain a foothold in the
theatrical world. due to an excep-
ttonally fine voice and pleasing per-
sonality and after few years he
took his younger brother, Willie, into
the team of Howard and Howard.
But Willie had already begun a
career for himself as a singer in the
gallery, joining from this lofty perch,
in the choruses of the songs of Anna
Held, at that time in the hey-day of
her popularity. In this capacity he
sang in all the foremost theaters of
the country. His reputation as an
entertainer was entirely as singer.
and it was not until he became the
junior member of the team of How
ard and Howard that the comedy
vein was developed. But young Will
lie proved to be a natural born comed-
ian and his rise on the stage was
most rapid until today he stands in
a class by himself He also developed
line of impersonations of great ac-
tors and singers which added to the
fame OF the team.
The Howard boys limitations of such
notables as David Belasco, David
Warfield. AL Jolson, Jack Norworth
and other prominent actors to say
nothing of all the famous composers
of by-gone days have been the won
der and delight of the theater-going
public. Their delicate burlesques on
"Androcles and the Lion THE Mu-
sic Master and kindred successes
have added very materially to their
fame as have their operate creations
and Eugene's truly wonderful irnita-
ton of the steel picked Hawaiian
guitar. Today they are one of the
most successful teams appearing in
the many New York Winter Garden
spectacles.
