Dewey Barto
Dewey Barto (born Stewart Steven Swoyer; June 10, 1896 – January 31, 1973) was best known as half of the comedic and acrobatic dance act, Barto and Mann.
==Early career==
Born as Stewart Steven Swoyer〔 — baptized on March 28, 1897 with the name Steward Stephen Swoyer, according to Pennsylvania's Church and Town Records, 1708-1985〕 in Reading, Pennsylvania to Elizabeth and Charles "Roxie" Swoyer, an acrobat, who owned a horse and wagon circus. Dewey came from a family of performers. His sisters Estelle and Ida were trapeze artists and contortionists, first as the Miaco Sisters and later as the Delno Sisters. His brother Charles played drums with several well-known bands. By the age of 16, Dewey was the youngest trader on the (Curb Market ) on Wall Street. He gained popularity as a dancer in Liberty bond drives, and when his company collapsed during a financial depression, Dewey joined The Three Bartos acrobatic team. He initially used the name Dewey Swoyer, but later changed his name to Dewey Barto, a name he used for the rest of his life.
In 1919, Barto married another vaudeville performer, Myrtle Lawler, half of the Grazer and Lawler song and dance act. Their elder daughter, Anna Myrtle Swoyer, was born in Philadelphia on May 10, 1922. She later changed her name to Nancy Walker, becoming an actress and comedienne of stage, screen, and television.〔 Not long after her birth, Barto was performing in an acrobatic act billed as Barto and Melvin. He began dancing solo in 1924 as the "The Hectic Hoofer" and continued performing as a single with (Fanchon and Marco ) enterprises in 1925.
