El Brendel
Elmer Goodfellow Brendel, known professionally as El Brendel (March 25, 1890 – April 9, 1964), was a vaudeville comedian turned movie star, best remembered for his dialect routine as a Swedish immigrant.〔(''Screen culture: history & textuality'' by John Fullerton, (Eastleigh, England: John Libbey, 2004) pp. 27-28. )〕 His biggest role was as "Single-0" in the sci-fi musical ''Just Imagine'' (1930), produced by Fox Film Corporation. His screen name was pronounced "El Bren-DEL".〔(''Eccentrics of comedy'' by Anthony Slide, (Lanham, MD: The Scarecrow Press, 1998) pp. 13-24. )〕 ==Early life== Born in Philadelphia to an Irish mother and German immigrant father, Brendel, unlike his stage and film character, was not Swedish. He spoke standard American English without a trace of any other accent, yet entered vaudeville in 1913 as a German dialect comedian. Because of the anti-German sentiment brought about by the sinking of the Lusitania, Brendel developed a new character, one he would portray on stage and in films for the rest of his career: a good-natured, simple Swede, often called "Oley," "Ole," or "Ollie." During the 1910s and early 1920s, he appeared with his wife, vaudeville star Flo Bert, doing a married-couple routine. It was during this period that he coined his trademark lines, "Yee vizz!" and "Yumpin' yiminy!".〔
