The Orpheum Theater in Spokane had a popular young vaudeville performer on its bill: a juggler named W.C. Fields.
Juggler?
Yes, in 1912 the soon-to-be curmudgeonly Fields was known as “one of the funniest jugglers in vaudeville.” Yet he had already developed his own comedy style as “The Eccentric Juggler.”
“His act is of two separate merits,” said The Spokesman-Review’s entertainment writer. “He performs difficult and deceptive feats and carries through his act with a lot of silent comedy that finds ready response.”
