Jack Pearl, born Jack Perlman (October 29, 1894 – December 25, 1982), was a vaudeville performer and a star of early radio. ==Vaudeville and early films== Born in New York, Pearl made an easy transition from vaudeville to broadcasting when he introduced his character Baron Munchausen on ''The Ziegfeld Follies of the Air'' in 1932. His creation was loosely based on the Baron Munchausen literary character. As the Baron, Pearl would tell far-fetched stories with a comic German accent. When the straight man (originally Ben Bard, but later Cliff Hall) expressed skepticism, the Baron replied with his familiar tagline and punchline: "Vass you dere, Sharlie?" This catch phrase soon became part of the national lexicon. Typical of the dialogue: :Hall: You seem to be effervescent tonight. :Munchausen: Haff you effer seen me ven I effer vasn't? Pearl played this character and others in musical revues of the 1920s and 1930s: ''The Dancing Girl'' (1923), ''Topics of 1923'' (1923–1924), ''A Night in Paris'' (1926), ''Artists and Models'' (1927–1928), ''Pleasure Bound'' (1929), ''International Review'' (1930), ''Ziegfeld Follies of 1931'', ''Pardon My English'' (1923) and ''All for All'' (1943). In 1923, Pearl and Wilkie Bard appeared in early tests of the Lee DeForest sound-on-film process Phonofilm which are now in the UCLA Film and Television Archive. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jack Pearl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
