Talk:Lew Fields

Untitled
I'm not sure if there's a place in the article for one of Webber & Fields' routines, but I'm putting a chunk of one here:
 * "Singing Scene"
 * Lew is on stage at the opening, rehearsing an orchestra. Joe enters, singing annoyingly and badly.
 * Lew: "Please stop that - you're disgracing the music!"
 * Joe keeps interrupting, until Lew stops him:
 * "PLEASE stop - DON'T sing.......when you sing music hides her head - and besides you don't know anything about music"
 * "How do YOU know?"
 * "Because I know Everything about music!"
 * Joe (to audience) "He knows all about music" laughs
 * Lew "I bet you don't even know what it is a scale"
 * "I do too!"
 * "What is it?"
 * "A petal on a fish!"
 * "No Joe, here' I'll teach you what a scale is. First you have Do, then Re..."
 * "Dat's my wife!"
 * "No, Re ain't your wife"
 * "Rae IS my wife!"
 * "No Re ain't your wife. Re is a sound"
 * "She ain't a sound - She's a Scream!!"
 * "No Joe, you got it all wrong - Re is after Do" (of course this sounds like Rae is after Dough)
 * "Dat's my wife!" Saxophobia 23:13, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Breakup
I believe it was Weber, not Fields, who continued the music hall. Fields went to his own theatre, named for himself. Vzeebjtf (talk) 15:03, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Where was he born
It is not clear where he was born. In 1867 when he was born "Poland" was a vague area, split between the just formed Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia. When he was about 4 the Kingdom of Prussia exerted its power over a few other states to form the German Empire.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:42, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
