Leon Errol
Leon Errol (July 3, 1881 - October 12, 1951), was an Australian-born American comedian and actor, popular in the first half of the 20th century for his appearances in vaudeville, on Broadway, and in films.
==Biography==
Born Leonce Errol Sims in Sydney, Errol had toured Australia, New Zealand and the UK in a variety of theatrical settings, including circuses, operettas, and Shakespeare, by the time he arrived on the west coast of the U.S. in 1905. In Portland, Oregon he managed a touring vaudeville company troupe, giving an early boost to the career of a young comedian named Roscoe Arbuckle.〔Errol did not own Portland's Orpheum Theater, as is widely repeated. http://travsd.wordpress.com/2009/07/03/stars-of-vaudeville-27-leon-erroll/〕
By 1911 Errol had graduated to the New York big time in the 1911 ''Ziegfeld Follies'' on Broadway, notably in two skits with the legendary Bert Williams. Errol's sister, Leda Errol (née Sims) was a personal friend of Ziegfeld Follies star Fanny Brice, and she appeared with him in the Ziegfeld Follies doing one- and two-act plays. He appeared every year in the Follies through 1915, when he is also credited as director of the show 〔http://www.ibdb.com/person.php?id=14717〕 that included W.C. Fields, Ed Wynn, as well as Marion Davies as one of the Ziegfeld Girls.
While balancing vaudeville appearances and a dozen Broadway shows, like the original 1920 production of Jerome Kern's ''Sally'', in 1919 Errol achieved the pinnacle of vaudeville success: headlining at the Palace.〔http://travsd.wordpress.com/2009/07/03/stars-of-vaudeville-27-leon-erroll/〕
