Talk:Addison Burkhardt

Heading edits
A note to OccultZone: I have reverted the first heading to the original. I appreciate the suggestion, but this section is actually the full (brief) history of Burkhardt's life, not just the "early years." This set of headings (Biography; Career; etc.) is also consistent with other, similar pages I have created. (See Alfred Solman, for instance.) Let me know if these headings are inappropriate by Wikipedia guidelines, and cite the source, if you would, since I haven't been able to find any rigorous requirements about such matters. Many thanks. Wfbrooks (talk) 15:05, 28 May 2014 (UTC)wfbrooks

General note
This page is done, for the moment, but I will return at some point to insert Burkhardt's most popular song titles, with link to on-line archival copies. I think it may be appropriate to move it out of the start class.Wfbrooks (talk) 20:53, 28 May 2014 (UTC)wfbrooks

"Work or Fight"
I'm currently pulling together a page on the series of US laws called "work to fight" and would love to find some more information on Mr. Burkhardt's piece. I found the link to the source mentioned, but it doesn't mention the "work to fight" piece in it.

Hi, sbbarker19. Thanks for noticing this. (By the way, the title of the sketch was "Work OR fight, not "work TO fight".) I see that I've inserted a link to the Clipper article but not Variety, which is the source of the review. Now that I look into it, I probably left the link out because the publicly available copy of Variety, on archive.org, is defective (cut off at the bottom). From another source, though, the full text is: "Herbert Ashley is assisted by a man who plays a Tad, on the burlesque order, a girl who sings and dresses like a Red Cross nurse, and another man, all unprogramed, who is in khaki during the act. The skit has a setting of the outside of a notion store where the action takes place. The act was written by Addison Burkhardt and entitled 'Work or Fight.' After watching it for 22 minutes what it was about is still unknown, and the turn in its present form looks hopeless." Hope this helps; feel free to contact me directly (w-brooks@illinois.edu). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wfbrooks (talk • contribs) 18:10, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
