Jerry Lewis
Is Jerry Lewis fluent in French?

Thanks, Wanderer57 (talk) 19:02, 7 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Not according to this BBC article, which says he doesn't speak French. (It's one of the referenced articles in our Jerry Lewis article.)  Comet Tuttle (talk) 19:05, 7 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I continue to be amazed by the huge range of questions the Reference Desk is able to answer.   Wanderer57 (talk) 20:11, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

burlesque theaters
--Sterlingboy (talk) 19:41, 7 April 2011 (UTC)I am told that the last active burlesque theater in America was the Folly Theater in Kansas City. It was a burlesque house from 1940 to 1974. Is this true?


 * As our burlesque article discusses (in the "American Burlesque" section), there has been a nostalgic minor revival of the form since the 1990s. Our Neo-Burlesque article is about recent burlesque theater.  Comet Tuttle (talk) 21:36, 7 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I have been to the Folly Theater and it is a remarkable little building with a very unique interior. While it is very much in operation today, it is a regular concert hall now. Kansan (talk) 02:33, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
