 * Obvious faults in prose, structure, formatting: Symbol question.svg This is a fine and promising first draft, and vaudeville is something that definitely needs more coverage on Wikipedia, but I don't feel this is ready for the front page yet. (I will defer to those more experienced at DYK if they feel it is ready to go, however.)  Aside from the issues noted above, there is precious little in this article about what makes this person notable and too much minutiae about relatives and the disposition of his remains.  There appear to be a number of good texts on vaudeville in Google Books, that may be a good source of further information.  Gamaliel (talk) 15:55, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Comments/discussion: Hello, I've added page numbers and more specific details to my source materials. If there is more that needs to be done please let me know. For clarification can you tell me why the list or Orpheum theatres was removed?John F. Barlow (talk) 00:07, 5 August 2011 (UTC)John F. Barlow (talk) 00:18, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
