Talk:Robert Bloch

message: I found a LARGE list of media from the Japanese Wikipedia. However, the Japanese list organizes by whether the work is long or short, not by fiction or nonfiction. Therefore, I'm trying to classify these books appropriately.

message: It seems from limited reseach, there are so many famous Jews :), that only non American born biograpies use the term Jewish American in them. It seems that his decent should be in a lower section rather the top section. Does this really his most defining attribute? Thanks.198.176.188.201 03:06, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The penultimate sentence of the intro states that Bloch was in vaudeville. Due to that sentence, I added him to the List of vaudeville performers and added him to :Category:Vaudeville performers. However, I can find no other information that actually corroborates that he performed in vaudeville. It is possible that he wrote for vaudeville, as many writers did in that period. If anyone has evidence that Bloch performed in vaudeville, please let me know and I will re-add him to this list. Thanks! *Exeunt* Ganymead | Dialogue? 14:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: According to his autobiography, Once Around the Bloch: An Unauthorized Autobiography, he appeared once on an "amateur night" in Milwaukee in order to get the attention of a pro playing in town, to whom he was trying to sell some material. As a result of that appearance, he got a few gigs as what we would now call a stand-up comedian, purely locally "at the kind of bar that advertised 'Entertainment Nightly'"; his agent got half of his $10 fee, and he didn't pursue this line of work for long. He also sold a few jokes to performers (local and national); and tried (unsuccessfully) to persuade vaudeville veteran Lou Holtz that there was more market for an autobiography of his colorful career than for a "novel" based on his Jewish dialect material about "Sam Lapidus" (which was already on the path to 'no-longer-acceptable'). That was about the extent of his "vaudeville" career. --Orange Mike 17:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the information. I would say nix on him actually being a performer, but I will keep him in mind if I do anything about writers for vaude. Thanks also for the information on Lou Holtz, I'm going to cut and paste your note to the talk page for future reference. Thank you for your response! *Exeunt* Ganymead | Dialogue? 13:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
