Willie and Eugene Howard
[edit]- ... that after spending a decade on the vaudeville circuit, comics Willie and Eugene Howard became "a riot" in Broadway revues?

- Article is new enough, long enough, well referenced. I only see close paraphrasing in the description of their "most famous bits" from Stewart – this sentence should be written as a direct quote instead. The hook ref is verified; do you think that adding "Jewish comics" would help any? Yoninah (talk) 19:10, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
- OK, done, but I had to add brackets for the key information provided by Cullen. It might be better to, instead, reword the sentence a little more to avoid the close paraphrasing, but up to you. I'm not sure if "Jewish" comics is better - maybe, but it might distract the reader from the point that they were playing vaudeville houses and then WHAM: landed on Broadway. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:06, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
