John Kenley
John Kenley (February 20, 1906 – October 23, 2009〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Summer theater producer John Kenley dies at 103 ) 〕) was an American theatrical producer.
==1906–1920s==
Born John Kremchek, in the winter of 1906, his early childhood was spent in Denver. His father, a Slovakian saloon owner, baptized him as Russian Orthodox and by age 4 he was singing in church, in both Russian and English. The theater bug had found him in Colorado, and fate would not strand him in the Rockies. By 1921 his family had moved to New Jersey, then to Pennsylvania. John, at age 15, dropped out of high school to seek stardom in the big city: Cleveland. He soon landed a job as a choreographer for a burlesque show despite a complete lack of training. “I taught the girls silly simple routines,” he later recalled, “As I taught them, I got pretty good.”
Three years later he finally made it to New York, and landed a part as an acrobat in John Murray Anderson’s ''Greenwich Village Follies''. With the signing of his first performance contract John Kremchek became known as John Kenley. Throughout the 1920s he played the vaudeville circuit, singing, dancing, and doing impersonations of not only Al Jolson and Maurice Chevalier, but Beatrice Lillie and Ethel Barrymore as well.
