About This Item
, 1927; Original manuscripts of Jed Dooley (1884-1973), vaudeville comedian who before going solo was partnered with his sister Ethel and brother Billy in a trick cycling act billed as "The Three Dooleys." Included are eight hand-typed gag sheets recording recent changes and additions to Dooley’s comedy act, dated June 19 through December 12, 1927, and identified at top as, "Original gags added to my act since my last registration, Nov. 16th, 1926." Each sheet is hand signed by Dooley in numerous places. Also included are two handwritten versions of one of Dooley’s acts which featured standup, cycling, saxophone playing, and rope tricks, all with accompanying patter. The first is a nine-page full-length act from the late twenties, and the other a condensed three-page version labeled "Short Version of Act As Done at Coast-Guard, Feb 22, 1943." The long version is handwritten on both sides of engraved letterhead stationery from the Hotel George Washington in Jacksonville, Florida. The short version is likewise handwritten on engraved stationery from the Forrest Hotel on 49th Street, West of Broadway, New York City. All material in excellent condition, clean and bright. There is a short closed tear on one of the sheets, repaired on the verso with japan paper. A unique archive from one of America’s greatest entertainment eras.
