Trivia and Quotes

Trivia
  • In later years he teamed with a new partner, Tommy Dillon, a young chap he worked with in Las Vegas and Manhattan`s Latin Quarter.
  • Wheeler & Woolsey were the first comedy team to emerge as stars from sound pictures.
  • The great comedy team of Wheeler & Woolsey are little know in the 21st century, despite their great popularity in the 1930s. One of the reasons likely is the fact that their short films were not packaged and sold to television in the 1950s, unlike The Three Stooges and Laurel & Hardy, who then went on to entertain new generations of fans. Bobby Clark wrote much of the dialogue, and it was very risqué and was considered borderline in the more liberal 1930s. Their shorts were geared towards adults, and even in the 1930s, they were considered vulgar, and thus would have been inappropriate on television in the 1950s as the comedy shorts of the Stooges and Laurel & Hardy were programmed for children.
  • Father of actress Patricia Walters.
  • Was teamed with Robert Woolsey for the Broadway production "Rio Rita", the teaming was so successful, that they were signed by RKO to repeat their stage roles in the movie version of it, the teaming lasted till Woolsey`s death in 1938.
  • Comedian.
